RIP Alberts Bels (1938-2024), a thoroughly nice man, who I was privileged to know. I just remembered that at our first meeting I took some notes, so here they are: A Talk with Alberts Bels, 9 July, 2009 facebook.com/search/top?q=o… #Latvia #Baltics

George Harrison was once photographed unprepared. Once he saw the photo, he loved it. He loved it so much, that he ordered a life-sized cardboard cutout of it to be placed by his front door.

#Beatles #ビートルズ ロック史上最重要ライブを選べと言われたら、ビートルズ1964年2月11日ワシントンコロシアムライブを選ぶ。 このドキュメントが残っていたのは奇跡としか言いようがない。 何も気取らずステージでとっとと段取り済ませてマイク不調も意に介さずサクッと最強ライブキメる姿が最高！

Latvia strengthens her defences (1937). #Baltics
Philip Ruff@RuffPhilip

In 1937, #Latvia ordered 26 Gloster Gladiator fighters & 3 Hawker Hind bombers from England, at a cost of £120,000, paid from the proceeds of a public lottery. Delivered to Riga by ship, the Gladiators were formed into two squadrons based at Ventspils.
