Which Beatle was the first to go to America?!

September 1963: while Paul and Ringo vacationed in Greece, and John and Cynthia had a belated honeymoon in Paris, George was the first Beatle to visit the U.S.A. when he and his brother Peter spent a couple of weeks with their niece Leslie and sister Louise in Benton, Illinois.
Here's the story about that trip...

Norah Jones on meeting Ray Charles

Norah Jones (born Geethali Norah Jones Shankar; March 30, 1979) is an American singer-songwriter and pianist. She has won several awards for her music and, as of 2023, had sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Billboard named her the top jazz artist of the 2000s decade. She has won nine Grammy Awards and was ranked 60th on Billboard magazine's artists of the 2000s decade chart.

“When I met Ray Charles I couldn’t stop crying. Twenty-something years ago, still new to the game, I was in a show honouring Elton John. Ray and I were introduced in the parking lot – I bawled uncontrollably. I was raised on his music. A few months later, we sang together for his last album before he died. That was a special day in the studio.

I don’t make music for awards, but sure, they feel good. My first record won five Grammys. All I remember from that night was being starving and Aretha Franklin handing me a statue. The day after, a picture of my apartment was on a newspaper front page: I couldn’t go home. Then my boyfriend had a tragic family death. It put things in perspective.”

Norah is the daughter of Woodstock performer Ravi Shankar who performed on day one of the Woodstock Festival on Friday night August 15, 1969 from 10:00 ~ 10:45 PM. Norah’s mother is Sue Jones, a New York concert producer. After her parents separated in 1986, Jones lived with her mother, growing up in Grapevine, Texas. At the age of 16, with both parents' consent, she officially changed her name to Norah Jones.

Norah’s half sister Anoushka Shankar is a world class musician and sitar player of great renown. She has received nine Grammy Awards nominations and was the first musician of Indian origin to perform live and to serve as a presenter at the ceremony. She was the youngest and first woman to receive a British House of Commons Shield. Anoushka is the daughter of Ravi Shankar and Sukanya Rajan.

Kris Kristofferson from The Prine Family

Fiona Whelan Prine posted this:

On behalf of the Prine family, we were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of John’s dear friend, Kris Kristofferson. Their friendship was made of magic, and Kris was the long time North Star for John. He was a beacon of light, a fierce talent and a gentle soul. Our hearts are with Lisa and his family…

Kris was an important character in John’s story. They first met when Steve Goodman convinced Kris to go hear John play in Chicago: “The chairs were on the tables, the waitresses were counting their tips, and I was waiting for my paycheck. And Kris came in with two other people. We got four chairs down and I got on the stage right in front of him and sang about seven songs. And then he bought me a beer and asked if I could get back up there and sing those seven again and anything else I wrote.” Kris then invited John to join him at his NYC show which led to John getting offered a record deal from Atlantic the next morning. The friendship between the two not only impacted John but every country artist after Kris and beyond.

He was always happy to connect with those who admired him; we appreciate the time he took to speak with Fiona Prine’s mother Mary (super fan). Though he was a giant, he was incredibly warm and human. He will be missed.

“Kris did more for me than anyone, without looking for anything for himself. I always make a point of telling musicians, and other singer-songwriters, that at no time did Kris ever introduce me to his music publisher or record label. He introduced me to people who were good people, and let it fly from there. After being in the music business for 45 years, I can see how rare that is.” - JP

Happier times - we are gonna miss Kris like we miss John

Shine on You Crazy Diamond | SYD BARRETT - DARK GLOBE(1970) rare | GUESS I’M DUMB

Syd Barrett - Dark Globe (1970)

"I knew the version on Madcap Laughs, and I’d heard the version on Opel, but this one (released on a bootleg in 1986) is very different from both. The Madcap Laughs track is painful and out of tune at times, whereas this one has “a ghostly and slightly out-of-sync vocal shadowing the main one. That ghostly shadow enhances the woozy mystique of the recording considerably”*

Me Tarzan, You Jane! | Happy Birthday Maureen O'Sullivan

"There was a period when I got so sick of all they would ask me about Tarzan, as though I had done nothing else. I changed my mind when my oldest son said to me he was very proud that I was Tarzan's mate."

The scene in 1934's "Tarzan and His Mate" that caused the most commotion, the ‘underwater ballet’ sequence, was available in three different versions that were edited by MGM to meet the standards of particular markets. Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller) and Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan's swimming double, Josephine McKim, who competed in the 1928 games with Weissmuller), dance a graceful underwater ballet with a completely nude Jane. When she rises out of the water, Jane (now Maureen O’Sullivan) flashes a bare breast.

Such big-screen impropriety was rare at the time, and if seen at all was usually done by dancing girl extras, or non-white actresses due to the time's double-standards (witness the topless ‘native’ girls at the start of the film, or the topless ‘natives’ in the 1935 classic, "Sanders of the River"). The new Production Code Office thought O'Sullivan's scant costume coupled with her sexual charisma was too much. In April, 1934, Joseph Breen, director of public relations of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, reported to his president Will Hays that had been rejected because of shots in which "the girl was shown completely in the nude."

When MGM production head Irving Thalberg protested the jury's decision by claiming that the 1928 film, "White Shadows in the South Seas" had "fifty naked women" in it, the jurors screened that film and determined that none of the women were naked.

According to film historian Rudy Behlmer: "From all evidence, three versions of the sequence eventually went out to separate territories during the film's initial release. One with Jane clothed in her jungle loin cloth outfit, one with her topless, and one with her in the nude. However, by April 24, 1934, all prints of "Tarzan and His Mate" in all territories were ordered changed.

Additionally, the New York Censors previewed the film, and insisted that the scene involving actor Paul Cavanagh lowering his nude body into a portable bathtub be eliminated as well. It wasn’t until Ted Turner took over the MGM film library that a positive print of the original film was discovered in the vaults and released in 1986.

While she described Weissmuller as "an amiable piece of beefcake; a likeable, overgrown child", O'Sullivan despised working with the chimpanzee Cheetah, and, according to daughter Mia Farrow, privately referred to the primate as "that ape son of a b!tch". (Wikipedia/IMDb)

Happy Birthday, Maureen O'Sullivan!
