Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever

On this day in music history, The Beatles released the single, 

"Penny Lane," backed by "Strawberry Fields Forever."

I'm unable to post the official video of "Penny Lane" (it's

 just the song with an album image) but here is a link to it:

Rhapsody In Blue

On February 12, 1924, the first performance of George Gershwin's

"Rhapsody In Blue" was performed, with Gershwin playing piano!

It Was 50 Years Ago Today...

The Beatles recorded their very first album, Please Please Me,

in just 12 hours! That is just not possible anymore... or is it?

MY Music Teacher...

 

 

My former high school music teacher (concert band, marching

band, pit band and jazz band) surprised me at a recent gig at

FPAC/FSPA in downtown Franklin by being there to support me!

It has been nearly thirty years since the last time I saw him!
