Winter Pledge Drive -A Tribute to Beatlemania hits US

Join, me Host Beth Pike for the second week of KKFI’s Winter Pledge Drive. This week I’ll once again dip my hand in the proverbial box of musical chocolates in honor of….”Beatlemania hits the US.”  The day The Beatles’ American invasion began. The Beatles’ Boeing 707, Pan Am flight 101, left London Airport early on the morning of 7 February 1964, bound for New York City. All we knew was that a couple of the records had done well in the States. Although the show is on the 9th I felt we would celebrate the influence of their music. The show will feature a Beatles covers from artists such as Phil Collins, Eddy Vedder, Alison Krauss, Ben Harper and many more. There will also be solo work featured from each of the Fab Four along with some Epic Beatles songs to close things out. Join me on your community radio station 90.1FM KKFI. Streaming on the web at KKFI.org.
