Comments on: World listening in to Pete’s Beatles show http://www.expressandstar.com/latest/2009/09/18/world-listening-in-to-petes-beatles-show/ Midlands News – West Midlands Local News - UK News Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:59:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Mike Ringler http://www.expressandstar.com/latest/2009/09/18/world-listening-in-to-petes-beatles-show/#comment-262037 Mike Ringler Sat, 19 Sep 2009 12:05:48 +0000 http://www.expressandstar.com/?p=95252#comment-262037 I just saw the link to this article via Pete's Facebook page, and I simply had to respond to it. In 2005, I had just recorded and self-released my first Beatles related song, "Walking On Abbey Road", and put it out on the internet for whomever might find it of interest. A few weeks later, I received an email from Pete Dicks 0f BeatlesandBeyond asking for a CD of the track so that it could be played on his show. Needless to say, I sent him the CD and he so generously put it on his show shortly thereafter. Since that time, I've recorded and released five albums of original Beatles-inspired music, with number six well under way, and Pete has been there every step of the way for me, playing many of my songs on the show. I am so grateful for the loyalty and integrity that I've found in Pete; he is indeed a rare gem of a man in the world of music. He is adored and admired by his listeners and contributing artists who find in him a shining beacon of light through his commitment to The Beatles, his tireless drive to bring as much of the world of The Beatles to everyone as possible, and his support of other Beatles-influenced artists, myself included. I can never thank Pete enough for his kindness, generosity, and loyalty to me, other than to offer him mine in return, which I've tried my best to do for the past five years. If you haven't spent some time listening to BeatlesandBeyond, you must. The show is available on many stations and in a wide variety of time slots, so you've got no excuse for not tuning in. Believe me, you will find yourself drawn in to the wonderful Beatle world which Pete works so diligently to create.
