| Award-winning producer Bob Bartel will make a special in-store appearance to sign his documentary DVD and give a presentation about the, now historic, visit of George Harrison to Benton Illinois in 1963, just prior to the explosion of 'Beatlemania' in the USA. The efforts of Bob and wife Janice Bartel have helped to document and preserve what has now become an important part of American music history. George Harrison's 2 week visit to his sister, Louise Harrison Caldwell, to her home in Benton IL was the FIRST visit of a Beatle to America. The former home of Louise Harrison has now become the Hard Day's Nite Bed & Breakfast which will soon be listed on the National Registry of Historic Buildings. |
