Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Azena promo post card

This is a promotional post card from 1963, identical to the one that Lennon used to scribble down the set list for the Azena ballroom gig on the 12th of February, 1963. Since my blog post about that set list, controversy has sneaked in, as commented by Peter Checksfield: Why is "From Me To You" on the list, a full two weeks before it was supposed to have been composed? Legend has it that the song was composed on the Shapiro tour bus en route to Shrewsbury, a town that wasn't visited until February 28th. This song may now have to be dated earlier. And IF they played it live on the 12th, why didn't they attempt to record it on the 11th? Maybe it's a work-in-progress version and one that needed to be refined. Anyway, IF this set list is what it says it is, Lennon and McCartney must have composed that song on the earlier stint at the Shapiro tour (between the 2nd and the 9th of February), between two other gigs.
