Hey! It's John Lennon's Birthday!

Here's how IMDb.com describes it:

"John Winston (later Ono) Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. In the mid-1950s he formed his first band, The Quarrymen (after Quarry Bank High School, which he attended) who, with the addition of Paul McCartney and George Harrison, later became The Beatles."

John Lennon Lives....

Apologies to those faithful followers who have already clicked on this post; I've been struggling with getting Google to link smoothly to the video....

On Sunday we went to a fabulous show at the Hayward Theatre, 2511 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles. Tim Piper does a remarkable job of reincarnating John Lennon in a live performance with a strong backing band, entitled "Just Imagine, the Show". Written by Piper and Steve Altman, it relates the main formative events in John's mixed-up, tragically curtailed life, and thrills the live audience with recreated performances of the great music.
