1965: The Beatles started working on "Help" this week

The Beatles made two movies in a year.    They started filming "Help" in the Bahamas this week in 1965.   

The first one ("A hard day's night") was basically the group on tour. 

The second one ("Help") was a bit of a spy story.   The story saw The Beatles on the beaches of the Caribbean and skying in the Alps.   There was a lot of music in between!

The Beatles' movies were great and I still enjoy them a lot.

Remembering Luis Aguile (1936-2009)

We remember that Luis Aguile was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on this day in 1936. He died in 2009. His full name was Luis Maria Aguilera Picca.

Back in the 1960s, our family spent many cold winter nights in Wisconsin listening to “Cuando sali de Cuba“. It always put a tear in my parents’ eyes. As my father told me, Aguile was a pop music star circa 1960 and had no connection to Cuba. What inspired him to write this song? I don’t know but it became a favorite in “el exilio”

Thanks to the late Luis Aguile for that wonderful song!
