A "Must-Read" Book About The Beatles, and We Remember Galaxy Good Guy Ian Rose

On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, Mike B offers us a review of a very interesting book he recently read. The book is titled "Beatleness", by Candy Leonard. This interesting book tells the story of the Beatles invasion fifty years ago, through the eyes of fans who share their memories. The input by regular folks from that time period, who were kids during that era when the Beatles were in force is a refreshing perspective in contrast to other compilations that feature the opinions of experts. Listen in to hear this interesting review. Next we remember Ian Rose, who was a contributor to Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site back in 2010-2011. Ian passed way on December 30, 2014 after several years of recurring health issues. We look back at his career and his contributions to our program. In addition, we play a clip of Ian's first appearance on our shows. Long-time listeners will remember Ian and the many feature pieces he did on our show. We thank Ian for his contributions and remember him and his role in our early shows. Finally we look back at the pedal cars of the 1950s and 60s. These toys that kids would ride in and were powered by little legs. These pedal or kiddie cars are very collectible and we look back at the history of these toys and share memories of how kids enjoyed these neat toys in the past. Our Retro-Commercial is for Pepto-Bismol from the 1950s, featuring a catchy jingle for this perennial stomach medicine. We look forward to having you with us on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network!
