We made sure to get a nice sampling of what they have. We are slowly rolling them out so as to not confuse ourselves as much as our clients.…

  • on this day…

    We tried to blog this before, but we had some pooter-related issues, so here it is, a bit late. Yesterday marks the 39th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours. For many, I don’t have to tell how epic this release was. For others, well, it was epic. It’s one of very few albums to go diamond.…

  • When it comes to personal performances, everyone has problems. One must sometimes think out of the box for a solution. For example, on this day (march 12th) 1963, The Beatles played at the Granada Cinema in Bedford. John Lennon, suffering from a terrible cold, was unable to perform. The band rearranged the set so that…
