Hello Beatle People. We from Louisville on the River (the Mother Ship) are starting our trek to AROTR D.C. 2010 and are so excited to see and hear all of you. If you are in early enough tomorrow/Thursday, some of us are going to gather for a late lunch/early dinner about 2 pm in or near the Gaylord. If allowed, I'll leave a note at the front desk with "Beatle People Gotta Eat" at the top and the location, and I'll post to my Facebook page. Can't wait to see everyone.
Love, Love Me, Do, Olivia Anne

In case you don't know what the "SAXON MOTHER'S SONS MEET MOTHER NATURE'S SONS" show is all about, well, here's another clue for you all . . .

The theme of this show is about the musical influences that America & Great Britain have had on each other over the years.
Bands & solo artists from England, Scotland & the USA will be performing songs that inspired some young UK rockers to create unique Fab music, which in turn inspired young Americans to create their own kind of music.
Representing the USA will be: DESMOND & MOLLY, PETER CONRAD & the TRAVELING BEATLEBURYS.
And from the UK: GARY QUINN, CANDLESTICK PARK & special guests, ITCHYCOO PARK.
All of these artists will be peforming songs seperately and together in various group configurations.

The show begins @ 8:45pm on the Pier Stage, ending around 10:30pm with an "All Star" Finale of . . . . well, you'll have to come to the show to find that out then, won't 'cha?

As always, it's my job to ask the baby and toddler questions. We are going to join the Friday bus tour for the monuments, but weren't sure whether to buy one for the under-two kid. All of the bus tours I found online give half-price for ages 3-11 but are apparently free 2 and under. So if you're using one of those services, do their rules pass thru? Not trying to be too much of a cheapskate, but that's 17.50 to give to other vendors. And saves a seat for someone else to join, since she sits on a lap anyway. Thanks.

Hey AROTR Family,,,just think we should take a moment here to reflect on BRIAN EPSTEIN who so woefully left us on this date in 1967!!! I mean,,,yes gJake has brought us together through The Beatles AND Music,,but would we really be here and as adamant if not for Brian? (or as George would say: "If Not For You") So Bee Girls,,Shake it up baby and Play all night. Denise Monaco,,, I LOVE YOU TOO, sista. (AND Patty) Does anyone remember the show from late 50's ROMPER ROOM?? LOL,,, the "Teacher" looked at the TV camera every morning and mentioned who she "saw" watching the kids show!

I'm about to be a granny any day now so that trumps the siren's call to the gathering fuel of BEATLE JUNGLE FEVER! That is the only reason I won't be there in person.
Is there going to be some kind of live feed that us Beatle freaks can feel the love? Say it is so, Gary, and make my day.

Sad to say that I will have to fore go the trip to DC. We've never missed an AROTR with its inception way back in Cleveland I'm sick over it. I am a school teacher and my school actually starts on Thursday so with DC scheduled I won't be able to make it. I still am working on my husband to do just the weekend thing, but he's not totally convinced. It isn't quite as far as a drive as Louisville. I do have one saving grace going. Got our tickets to see the real SIR PAUL MCCARTNEY IN PITTSBURGH next Wednesday and we have decent seats at the new Consol Arena, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins. This will be the 5th time I've seen Paul. I missed Ringo in Cleveland last month but I personally got to speak to him in 2002. Got to hang out with Pete Best a few times and he remebered me from visit to visit. That was way to cool. A very very nice guy. When The Beatles came to Pittburgh way back in 1964 my mother wouldn't let me go because she said I was too young. That didn't stop me from loving them. I've been a collector of Beatle memorabila since those years and have a huge colletion that I could probably retire on if I got what my stuff is worth. Our house is tastefully done with museum quality memorabila with large paintings by Shannon, (We got to know her personally as I am an art teacher)
Litho's by John Lennon, signed photos by Astrid, signed Yellow Submarine cells, collectable rare records, Bradford plates and all my signed autographs with proof. John Lennon being my most favorite as it was one of the last he signed (November)before his tragic death. The neat thing is the photo of him actually signing an
already old Bristish Tabloid from the 60's to go with it. I even had the Butcher cover LP but we had a fire back in 1980. What was lost was the things I bought as a young teen. Shortly after the fire my dad told me to get the rest of my things out of his attic. Low and behold there was two big boxes of Beatle memorabila that I never took with me. I've been collecting ever since. I have a nice little nest egg but I'm not ready to part with any of my things. I have so many things put awy. I also own a hair salon and its done with a Beatle theme. I never get tired of looking at my stuff. So, if you ever see a 2010 Siver Camaro or a 2010 white Mustang that says "THE BEATLES" Its me. One more thing. The tribute band "RAIN" will be playing at Heinze Hall in Pittsburgh, January 12.
Love to all Karen

Dear Friends and Fans,

In only mere days, hours, minutes and a few odd seconds, The World's Largest Beatles Music Festival, Abbey Road on the River will begin again in Washington DC. The Cryers, perform in music venues and festivals throughout the USA and Canada....BUT without a doubt, Abbey Road On The River is our all time favorite festival to perform at! This will be our 7th appearance at an AROTR Festival, we have performed four times in Louisville (2007-2010), once in Scranton (2008), and once in Belleville, Canada (2008).

Not only do we perform our own knock down, kick ass, hard rockin' versions of Beatles, Wings, solo Beatles and vintage British Invasion tunes, we also bring along some of our famous friends to play with. We have had Liverpuddlian and 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Terry Sylvester, formerly of The Hollies as our jamming buddy several times at AROTR. As well as having our good friend Denny Laine, Legendary Guitarist and co-founder of Wings and The Moody Blues, there to perform with. As one of America's premier independent professional veteran bands, we are fortunate to have close professional ties and personal friendships with "Beatle" people.

We've toured with Pete Best and his band for the past 5 years, over 20 dates opening for them. We've worked with Denny Laine since 2005, producing and performing with him on scores of shows. Three years playing with Billy J. Kramer, who shared with the Beatles Brian Epstein as a manager and had several Lennon/McCarthy tunes written for him. Former Wings lead guitarist Laurence Juber has performed his incredible fingerstyle guitar and taught workshops at our home venue the Monmouth Academy every year for the past 7 years. Plus we are honored to have John Lennon's recording engineer, Dennis Ferrante, currently mixing our 2nd CD.

Just as the World's Largest Beatles Music Festival, Abbey Road On The River's whole purpose is to celebrate the music of the Beatles, The Cryers feel a kinship with the festival by virtual of all our Beatle connections. Like all of you, we welcome the chance to immerse ourselves for a few incredible days in music, fun, family, friends and an abundance of love!! Every year we look forward to hearing our incredible fellow musicians and reconnecting with all of our awesome fans and friends! We are privileged to be part of the AROTR family. . . So mark your calendars and count the days until we are together again at the Bestest Beatle Fest east of the Mississippi! Abbey Road On The River. . . See you there!!

All Our Loving. . .

Dear Gary, As some of your Fans continue on our Magical Mystery Tour this summer, I want to take a second to tell you, again and often, how wonderfully your Abbey Road on the River Festivals compare to all else that is out there. I'll keep saying it--You allow us to create that magical community where we all can Come Together in Peace and Love and Rock and Roll. No drama; no heavy-handed crowd management; no rude staffers (well, perhaps, an occasional snip, but that's all [joking]); no gouging on prices. Thank you, Gary, so very much. We cannot wait to be with you as you create your magic again in D.C. at the Gaylord at National Harbor. (And, I've been spreading the love everywhere we have gone, so you should have folks from Ringo & HullabaLOU and Paul coming to D.C. and to Louisville.) Love, Love You, I Do. Olivia Anne

Gary--Forecastle was no AROTR. I got pushed out of my all day space the first two nights and got into an ugly screaming match with a ypung staff member two songs into the Flaming Lips set for parking her cute butt right in my line of view on the video platform.
I made Ya! Ya!s all three days but never saw anyone really rock them. sigh
The music was GREAT and loved the idealism of the youth doing their part to change our world for the better.
Dear Prudence made a lovely appearance from the girl from Nickleback. Beatle references everywhere!
There were undercover cops everywhere--don't remember felling paranoid for no reason at Abbey Road.
No free water in 90 friggin' degrees and small water was $3. a pop. The vendors I talked to said business was very slow--no wonder cuz I spent a fortune just hydratingThe no reintry policy SUCKED!!! No one should feel hostage at a 12 hour festival--the only air conditioning available was in the smoking van--is this Kentucky or what?
I am ranting because I couldn't even lodge a complaint online at the Forecastle website.. I appreciate AROTR so much better--thanks Gary --for making it always enjoyable for the paying public.

Went to see the Apple Core at Paradiso's Restaurant on Saturday night. After a wonderful dinner, we had so much fun listening to this great band. It was so wonderful to meet some of the guys in the band and to spread the word about AROTR. Please give them a warm welcome at AROTR - DC. Since I'm still in withdrawal mode from Louisville, this was a great excuse to get psyched for DC!

I was wondering if Ringo was going to be remembered today. My Birthday wish for Ringo today is that we hear more of his solo hits at AROTR.
