For all music lovers it will be interesting to know that today Pete Best celebrates his birthday. Pete Best is a British musician, principally known as the original drummer in The Beatles.
ReplyDeletePete Best (born 24 November 1941) is a British musician, principally known as the original drummer in The Beatles. He was born in the city of Madras, then part of British India. After Best's mother, Mona Best (1924–1988), moved to Liverpool in 1945, she opened The Casbah Coffee Club in the cellar of the Bests' large house in Liverpool. It became very popular with British youths, having a membership of over 1,000. The Beatles (at the time known as The Quarrymen) played some of their first concerts at the club. Best played there with the Beatles as well as his first band, The Black Jacks.
ReplyDeleteThe Beatles invited Best to join on 12 August 1960, on the eve of the group's first Hamburg season of club dates. He was eventually replaced by Ringo Starr on 16 August 1962, when the group's manager, Brian Epstein, dismissed Best under the direction of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison, following their first recording session at Abbey Road Studios. After working in a number of commercially unsuccessful groups Best gave up the music industry to work as a civil servant for twenty years, before starting The Pete Best Band. He has been married for over 45 years to Kathy Best; they have two daughters and four grandchildren. Best is sometimes referred to as the "Fifth Beatle".
November 24th 2012 is Buy Nothing Day (UK).
ReplyDeleteIt's a day where you challenge yourself, your family and friends to switch off from shopping and tune into life. The rules are simple, for 24 hours you will detox from shopping and anyone can take part provided they spend a day without spending!
Everything we buy has an impact on the environment, Buy Nothing Day highlights the environmental and ethical consequences of consumerism. The developed countries - only 20% of the world population are consuming over 80% of the earth's natural resources, causing a disproportionate level of environmental damage, and an unfair distribution of wealth.
Of course, Buy Nothing Day isn't about changing your lifestyle for just one day. People should make a commitment to consuming less, recycling more and challenging companies to clean up and be fair.
On November 24, take some time to celebrate your unique talent! This could be something generic like “I sing nicely,” but the day really belongs to more specific (and, dare I say, strange) talents like “I harmonize with myself, simultaneously singing and whistling two different parts of “The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.”

“If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.”
