Our first entry

Greetings all!

This is our first blog posting. At the moment, we're preparing for the New York/New Jersey Fest for Beatles' Fans which will be taking place in Secaucus, New Jersey. Rehearsals have been going quite well. We're going to be playing a bunch of different tunes this time around, many of which we have never played before.

Along with the new Beatles' songs, we're going to be backing up Denny Seiwell and Laurence Juber of Wings. Sadly, Denny Laine won't be joining us this time around. He'll surely be missed, but we will see him again in the near future. Despite his absence, get ready for some really cool Macca songs!

Then there's our favorite multi-colored, mega-talented pal Mark Hudson. We're not letting the cat out of the bag, but let's just say that he will be doing a few different songs for this show!

Finally, we're bringing in some "new blood" for this show. We'll be accompanying members of the cast of the acclaimed film Across The Universe. They will be singing their renditions of the songs heard in the soundtrack.

On a more serious note, we are saddened at the news of the passing of Norman "Hurricane" Smith. We had the pleasure of meeting with him as well as backing him up last year to perform his hit, Oh Babe, What Would You Say. He was a true gentleman and it was our honor to get to know him, albeit briefly. Our condolences go out to his entire family.

Well, that's "what's up" with us at the moment. Comment away, let us know what you're thinking and we'll try to respond as fast as we can!
