2020.16 From Me To You (Pops and Lenny) -- Piers Hemmingsen, The Beatles, Del Shannon, Trudy Medcalf
Piers Hemmingsen (The Beatles in Canada) joins the show this week as we discuss the first year of the Beatles in Canada. "Love Me Do" was played on the radio in "The Great White North" a mere eight weeks after the Parlophone single first appeared. We move through those first three singles, the rise of "She Loves You", and Beatlemania breaking in Canada just as Capitol of Los Angeles caught on to "I Want To Hold Your Hand".
