I met the author Chuck Gunderson because of this blog. He emailed me several years ago with some questions about some of the photos I had posted. He was a regular reader of this blog. He was one of the first people I had ever talked to that were actually "regular viewers." I met him in person at the Fest for Beatle fans in Chicago. Before long, he told me about the book he was writing about the Beatles' North American tours. I had thought about writing such a book at one time. Nothing has ever been published on the North American Tours that went into detail. It was a gaping hole in Beatles books. I was glad that Chuck was taking on the topic, because I do not think I would be able to do it justice.
I have been anxious about Chuck's book since he first told me about it. And now it is here! His book ended up being a two-book volume set. The 1964 tour is in one volume, and 1965/1966 is in the second. The book, titled Some Fun Tonight is published much like one of Bruce Spizer's books. It is in full color and hardcover. It is a beautiful set of books. Inside, there are photos that were brand new to me, along with concert memorabilia. Each stop on the tour is discussed in detail, along with stories from those who were there and fans.
I started reading volume one last night. So far, it is awesome! I am learning new nuggets of information and loving every second of it. When I finish updating this blog, I am anxious to read some more.
Also, just an aside....if you look at the acknowledgments in the back, you will spot my name.
I can't recommend this book enough, and I am not just saying that because Chuck is such a nice guy. Really, this is an awesome book set!
