AUTHOR NEWS
On January 9th, I appeared on a 90 minute radio show on blogtalkradio with a panel of authors and music producers. The show, hosted by Simon Barrett, was a discussion of the premise of “Better Than Lennon.” It has been archived, and if you missed the show, you can read about it and listen to it at bloggernews.net/123506. The book review generated significant response, as you can view on the site.
My upcoming January appearances are a TV appearance on a local Sarasota cable station, a book signing on January 30th in Lakewood Ranch, FL, and a possible interview with website “Geek Monthly” at www.wecallthismusicfab.com
“BETTER THAN LENNON”-NOMINATION FOR NATIONAL AWARD
“Better Than Lennon” has been nominated for the 2010 Award for Excellence in Historical Recorded Sound Research by the Association of Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC). The ARSC award will be announced at the national conference in New Orleans in May. ARSC is a non-profit, international organization founded in 1966 and dedicated to the preservation and study of recordings in all fields of music and speech.
BOOK CORRECTIONS
Since I was my own editor, any printing errors or mistakes in the book were my responsibility. Please let me note a mistake on page 20, noting that John wrote ten songs, not nine, on A Hard Day’s Night, and George sang one song, but did not write it.
On page 99, the correct name of the song is The Song We were Singing, not Songs.
