The soiree is also acting as an introduction of sorts to a film in development shown here in this film trailer about the Toronto Rock N Roll Revival show in 1969 which featured John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band and marked the first time any Beatle had played publicly without his mates. One week later The Beatles would be no more!
So it is with great excitement that I look forward to the opportunity to address and introduce, City Vibe Contracting, one of event sponsor businesses which will be donating the Yoko era-like food fare for the event. Not only do I relish an opportunity to rally people around a great company like C.V.C. - which in addition to renovating and construction are heavily invested in disaster relief - and for 15 years has been there to turn to when disasters strike, such as the recent Toronto's floods the worst in recent memory which affected thousands - but I also get to, in a way, be a part of Beatle's history as well as this art and film will themselves be lending a hand in opening a new Beatles chapter with this very unique walk down memory, er, Penny Lane! Well, as someone in crisis or The Beatles might say, Help! I need somebody! Thank goodness we have experts in such relief - Help! not just a-a-any bo-ody!- including trauma support trained and experienced - when such occasions arrive, and as such it was an easy way to sedge-way the group into The Beatles! A band whose message of peace and help unto others stands the test of time - like their music - and resonates with the theme and spirit of City Vibe and I'm sure will with countless fans as well.

| The Beatles made Peace and Love household words |
“He adored Mr. McCartney,” She said in a letter to promoters, “You have allowed my children and me to discover the musical universe of this great artist and (a chance to) bathe in music at a party surrounded by our friends."
So The Beatles and who and what they represent live on, and that kind of spirit and image is a representation that fits well with the City Vibe brand.

None of my past musically connected contributions have ever been this unique. There is no doubt this art unveiling and subsequent film release will be a part of history and those who are lucky enough to attend or sponsor will be too. My 19 year old daughter recently remarked to me that The Beatles were easily the best band of all time. That's coming from a completely new generation of fans- and one that knows everything no less. Sound familiar? Ha.
The Fab 4 has stood the test of time and now crossed generational boundaries and with it the demographic markets, opening a whole new can of worms and reaps to those who had the oomph to step on-board and make it happen again! Pop 69's success will be bound only by it's distribution and here's hoping towards a wide release!. Stay tuned ....!Coming soon to a screen near you!
Here's a spoof video of Sir Paul and John I'd recently thrown together in commemoration of the new Royal! Ha! Enjoy!
Tom out!
