1954: "Saskatchewan", a movie and a very familiar voice jumps at me

Flipping channels and I came across "Saskatchewan", a 1954 movie about the Canadian frontier.    The big stars were Allan Lad and Shelley Winters.

I was pleasantly surprised when Jay Silverwheels ("Tonto" of The Lone Ranger") was playing Cajou, an Indian from the tribe who had good relations with the white people.

The movie was released in 1954.   I'm not sure if he was already playing "Tonto" in the classic TV series.

By the way, the movie's choreography was fantastic.

1963: We remember "Please please me", the first LP by The Beatles

We remember this week another anniversary of "Please please me", the first LP released by The Beatles in the UK.     It did not chart in the US although some of the tracks were released in different LP's in 1964.

The album was recorded in one day.   Parlaphone rushed the LP's release to take advantage of "Please please me", the group's first number one in the UK.   

Overall, it was a good debut effort.
