A Beatles Journey: ‘Magical Mystery Tours’
This is about the tenth book about The Beatles I’ve reviewed, and I think it’s fair to say at this point that admittedly, I’m no book critic. I have no journalism background, I’m not (yet) published and as far as a writing skills go, I’m adequate at best. I just love devouring books about The... Read More

The DJ vs. The Wedding Planner
Guest Post by Saundra Hadley Disclaimer: This blog post comes from a “place of love” and hope for change.

The DJ and The Client in Perfect Harmony
I spend a great deal of time on the internet and throughout an average day I’d say I read up to seven or eight blog posts/online articles relating to the event industry in general.

‘POPS: A Life of Louis Armstrong’ by Terry Teachout
