We love your show! My 11 year old daughter is a big fan of The Beatles. She broke her leg last week and has been feeling bad. Can you play a song for her... her favorite "All my Loving" ? Thanks!
HOST RESPONSE: Consider it done.

This week's show with Ray Manzarek is a good one. He hit the nail on the head When you you guys were talking about concerts were so wild, and how fun they were. And now they're so controlled, it isn't as fun, and more expensive. This leads to my next comment. I saw Ringo and his All-Starr Band last time they were in town. Colin Hayes from MEN AT WORK fame was up doing his segment of the show. A guy in the crowd got up and started dancing. A crowd control attendant came over to tell him to sit down. Colin stopped playing and asked the crowd control guy why he made the concert goer stop dancing and sit down. Colin said after all that's what were all here for, right? Actually Colin was really upset about this so much, Ringo came onstage to calm him down. But I agree with Colin. Were there to enjoy the music and have fun singing along and dance. I wrote the management of the venue to complain about the crowd control issue. They got an earfull! But I never received a reply. It's sad that concerts are so controlled. And expensive! The average nosebleed ticket is $75 or higher!!!

Request: I was wondering if there is any way to get any or all of the Christmas songs or singles or albums that were made back when. I have not heard so many of them. I REALLY REALLY enjoy listening to your show every weekend. I set my alarm on Sat & Sun so I can be sure to hear it. You are on 98.1 and 102.5. Thank you so much!
HOST RESPONSE: The Christmas recordings can be found through auction sites, but buyer beware. They are among the most heavily pirated of all Beatles recordings, though there are some pretty good quality knockoffs out there. The original albums and flexi-discs are still quite collectible and likely to be pretty expensive if in good condition.

I have a copy of John Lennon singing a son called "India". can you tell me anything about it?
HOST RESPONSE: It is a lovely tune that John recorded as a demo at the Dakota in the late 1970s. I'm hoping it will turn up on a future compilation.

First of all, you are the most enthusiastic jock I have heard on the radio. You sound so genuine. I can feel the passion of not only the Beatles, but just for music in general, and that is extremely rare these days. So thank you, because I love the Beatles and just real good music myself. I listen to BWTB on your website, not on the radio due to poor reception. I have asked KGON 92.3 FM to air BWTB, but to no avail. Thanks Dennis. I love your passion for the Beatles and music. Thanks for your time.

Dennis, listening to the show with the "Pawn Stars." I can tell you I saw many of the stacking Beatles dolls you featured on the Arbat in Moscow. I didn't buy one at the time. But they are not rare, you can pick them up at several different places around Moscow, and not for more than $10. They are sold at little tables by little old ladies, along with all kinds of others. (I got one of Tsar Nicholas II, the last tsar, and his wife and children.) Second Kiev (Kyiv in Ukrainian), is in Ukraine, not Russia. Don't let my wife hear you call Kyiv as being in Russia. It would be like calling a Scot or Irishman, English, and watch them come unglued, telling you they damn sure are not English. Many Ukrainians don't hold fond memories of when Russia/Soviet Union controled Ukraine.

Message from the host: We are very pleased to announce that the radio version of the show is expanding to two hours beginning the weekend of May 15-16. This marks a return to the program's original length when it premiered on local radio in Las Vegas 19 years ago. We'll be updating the Affiliates list shortly to reflect those stations that will carry the two-hour version. If your station isn't listed, call them up or e-mail them and politely let them know you'd like all two hours of BWTB. For the time being, the web version will continue to reflect a re-feed of the one-hour version. Thanks for your support over the years. I hope you'll enjoy the new two-hour BWTB!

I recently bought a 2009 CD by Gerry Rafferty (of Baker Street fame), called "Life Goes On." It culls many Rafferty tracks from the last 15 years or so, when he's mostly been out of the limelight. It has a number of great tracks, including a cover of the Beatles "Because." Perhaps you weren't aware of this version, but if you get the chance, please seek it out and play sometime on your show.
REPLY: Thanks for the request, Tim, let me see what I can do.

I have been a Beatles fan since 1964. I saw them live at Indy in '64. Went to Liverpool two years ago and met Sam Leach and Alan Williams. I have met Louise Harrison and her band Liverpool Legends. Last summer we were in Vegas and saw LOVE at the Mirage. I have a Beatles room in my house. Need I say I'm hooked?

Hi,Dennis! I enjoy your show immensely and I listen every Sunday morning at 10 on CKWW in Detroit-Windsor Ontario. The Hotrats' cover of "Drive My Car" was very good. There's another cut I've heard by them as well. They did the Beastie Boys'"Fight For Your Right To Party" in the style The Who in their mod days, circa 1967. 580AM is replaying your Beatles Breakup special tonight, so I'll tune in and listen.

I have to confess, the first time I heard The Beatles was on my car radio on my way to work in the early 60's, and I thought, "Just another British rock group, it wont last."

Message from the host: For those of you getting ready to set sail on the Beatles Tribute Cruise, BON VOYAGE! Sounds like Woody has put together an awesome fun time with some very cool guests.

The first song I ever heard of the Beatles was "Hey Jude" on 106.3 KLOO-FM during Breakfast With The Beatles and I've loved the Beatles ever since. My parents think it's odd that their 16 year old listens to music that's before their time but I love it. I just also wanted to let you know you're spreading Beatlemania to new generations. Thanks Dennis!

Does anyone know anything at all about the new song "Yoko Dear?" The artist is Eddie Davenport of New York. I heard it for the first time in January at the Fox Hollow and was blown away by it. Looking for any info whatsoever on the song or the artist. Thanks for a really great show. Breakfast With The Beatles is top shelf.

Dennis, thanks for a wonderful show. I've been a Beatles fan since 1965. I was 4 years old and I remember listening to "Meet the Beatles" and the love affair began then and there. The four Beatles don't get the recognition that's deserved in regards to their musicianship. All four were or are very good musicians. It's wonderful that both Paul and Ringo are still creating good and vital music; they aren't just older performers that are coasting on thier past.

In August 2009, Paul McCartney did a concert at Peidmont Park. Fantastic concert!!! I have written a story about our weekend that your listeners might enjoy reading. The story is posted on my website, johnpaulnix.com which is a just for fun website now. The story is called, "Our McCartney Weekend". Thanks and wanted to say I really enjoy the show.

NEWS ITEM: Steve Marinucci
As if we weren't crazy enough to be doing three Examiner columns (you know we're also the Vintage Rock 'n' Roll and TV on DVD Examiners, right?), we've taken on a fourth. And it's another Beatles column. It's actually about A BEATLE. Yes, we're now also the Paul McCartney Examiner as well as the Beatles Examiner.
Why, you ask? Because his story, from the '60s to now, is one amazing thing after another. And because we've had so much fun doing this Beatles Examiner column, we think we're the one to tell it. We hope you agree. The first column is online. We've heard from people who have read it that they liked it. We hope you also enjoy it and subscribe to our new Examiner column (and our Beatles column, if you haven't already). It'll be more of the Beatle news and fun you'll expect, but it'll be Paul 24/7. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?

BLOG: Happy Holidays!
Welcome to the holidays! We've been keeping very busy with a number of projects that will make the show even more fun and informative. I've just finished transferring the complete British UK catalog in vinyl, from one of those big blue EMI box sets that circulated in the 1980s as "The Beatles Collection." You'll be hearing these quite-different sounding versions of your favorite Beatles tunes during future shows. Many thanks to friend and listener Greg Hampton.

We're gearing up for the holidays, and starting next weekend we'll be featuring those fun Fan Club Christmas recordings, starting with the very first one from 1963. Preparations are under way for the 2009 year-end review, which will feature special guest Steve Marinucci. It's been an incredible year in the Beatles universe, so if there are any topics that stand out for you, or that you'd like to hear discussed on that show, drop a line and let me know. Likewise, we welcome suggestions for themes and guests for 2010.

Keep checking the Contest page! We're currently running a t-shirt contest with the Fest for Beatles Fans, and soon we'll reveal the details of our biggest holiday contest ever. Finally, we'd like to welcome our newest affiliate, KRWZ, "Cruisin' Oldies" in Denver. Great to be back on in the mile-high city, and we thank all our listeners there who stayed with us by listening online.

That's it for now. Keep those cards and e-mails coming!

Message: Your weekly show is outstanding. My earliest Beatle memory is listening to "Meet The Beatles"in my aunt's living room back in 1965 when i was 4 years old. I was instantly hooked. I can truly say that there are just a few Beatles songs that i dislike. I've got a suggestion for an upcoming show.how's about doing a show where you play nothing but cover versions of beatle songs from other artists and bands. Some of these cover songs were big hits as well. It also wouldn't be too difficult to find a bunch of these songs. You should also try to arrange an interview with either Neil Innes, Eric Idle or Gary Weiss and talk about The Rutles and play some of that stuff too. That stuff still makes me laugh after all these years. the music for that was done well too. I do know that george harrison was a good sport about this and did a brief role in the film. It was hilarious. I'm also enjoying the new mono remixes of the Sgt. Pepper material.

Really dislike Elton John's version of Lucy...it's glammed up. John's version is spooky as it should be.
