Just an FYI for all you "troniacs"...
On Sunday, August 28th, local radio station WMGK will be doing 
a "Breakfast with the Beatles" mini-cruise/live-broadcast from aboard 
The Spirit of Philadelphia from 9am to 11am (edt).  I was asked by the 
host to bring along my mellotron, as well as sitar, for 
some "samplings"...seeing how prominent they were in the group's 
history.  
The show will also feature some artwork by Ringo Starr on display, and 
author/news reporter Larry Kane...author of the book "Ticket to Ride", 
and also authoring a new book about John Lennon that's due out in 
October.
The station hasn't made their official announcement yet, so I'm not 
sure what the ticket price is yet...I will post it to the list as the 
info becomes available.

Best to all,
Brad

Okay...the event will be $25 a ticket, which includes a buffet 
breakfast...here's a link with the "official" info!
