I first met Jude Southerland Kessler two years ago at the Chicago Fest for Beatle fans. We were both speaking on the women's Beatles scholar panel. I felt like I was way out of my league. I mean Jude has written two great books about John Lennon, has a popular webcast and goes around the country speaking about the Beatles. And me? I run a Beatles blog from my house in Illinois where I mostly scan photos from old magazines and type out stories of fans meeting the Beatles. But Jude is such a sweet women, and she had a way of making me feel so much better about what I do and that I belonged there just as much as she did.
Jude writes for the "Do you remember" site and has written an article about the Beatles arriving in America. I got an email this week from the site asking me to publish a link to her article. I usually don't do that, but because Jude wrote it, I wanted to help support my fellow John Lennon lover.
So please check out Jude's article when you have a chance and make sure you look for her new book, She Loves you, which will be premiered this Sunday at the Fest.

yes, but you do research and write about a very valuable and specific niche in the Beatles' world, and so you've accumulated a great amount of knowledge that nobody else has.
ReplyDeletebetween you and Ms Kessler, only one of you has a link on Mark Lewisohn's website. don't sell yourself short.
