We've got some big news about our Beatles Tribute Cruise
( http://www.BeatlesTributeCruise.com ). New Special Beatles Guests and a very
special Beatles Event. Let's start with our newest Special Beatles Guest, Chris
O'Dell, the author of "Miss O'Dell: My Hard Days and Long Nights with The
Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and the Women They Loved".
George Harrison wrote a song for her ("Miss O'Dell"), as did her boyfriend, Leon
Russell ("Pisces Apple Lady"). She was there on the roof of Apple when the
Beatles famously performed "Hey Jude" on TV. She watched as they recorded at
Abbey Road, and was best friends with George's wife, Pattie Boyd. She had
affairs with Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan. O'Dell and Joni Mitchell
vied for the attention of Sam Shepard while on the road with Dylan's Rolling
Thunder Revue (Mitchell referred to her in the song "Coyote" as "the woman down
the hall").
As O'Dell writes in the book's foreward: "I wasn't famous. I wasn't even almost
famous. But I was there"
Chris will join May Pang and Nancy Andrews' Question and Answer session called
"The Rock and Roll Asylum" and participate in her own still to be named Q & A
session aboard the Beatles Tribute Cruise.
We've also added Joe Johnson, the host and creator of the nationally syndicated
radio show "BeatleBrunch" who joins us as the co-host of the cruise. Joe will be
handling our Beatles Trivia Contest (just wait until you see the prizes for the
winners) and will host Jorie Gracen's Q & A session called "Behind the Lens with
Paul McCartney"
And now for something really special: Shannon- the World's Greatest Beatles
Artist will unveil eight paintings from her "Hard Days Night Hotel Collection"
in a Private Ceremony open only to our Beatles Tribute Cruisers and the national
and local press. Those invited to unveil a painting include the President of
Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, the Captain of the Independence of the Seas, May
Pang (John Lennon's former girlfriend) and Joe Johnson. For press passes please
contact Woody Lifton @ info@...
Don't forget that Royal Caribbean has lowered prices for our Beatles Tribute
Cruise almost 30% but that discount ends on 10/31/09. You only need a deposit of
around $300 to reserve your cabin and the balance does not have to be paid off
until 1/4/09.
So head over to our Beatles Tribute Cruise website and book your Beatles
vacation of a lifetime!
The Sun is Up...The Sky is Blue...It's Beautiful and so is our Beatles Tribute
Cruise.
Hope to See You Aboard!
