Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

Wash your hands!!! Lots...then maybe you won't catch the cold that's made it's way through our house...not that we don't wash our hands...but doing it more will help keep it away.

It was awful, yet a time where we just spent a lot of time together, sprawled on the couches and slack jawed in front of the television...leaning on our elbows at the dinner table...and filling the rooms with the smell of Vicks as we slathered it on before settling into bed. There's nothing like family time. lol.

Tomorrow I'll be live at the Valhalla Inn for the United Way's Annual Kickoff Campaign Breakfast. They'll be announcing this year's goal. We'll be talking to a number of people about he United Way and what it does for our Community.



WATER COOLER CONVERSATION.......

Here are some interesting facts about the band known as THE BEATLES:

Lots of band names were discussed before the members settled on The Beatles. Other names included: "Johnny and the Moondogs"; "Long John and The Beatles"; and "The Silver Beatles".
The band finally became The Beatles in August of 1960.

It was in 1963, when The Beatle’s iconic "drop T" logo made its appearance. It was based on an impromptu sketch design for the front of Ringo Starr’s bass drum.

The Beatles appeared in 5 motion pictures, all of which featured associated soundtrack albums including: A Hard Days Night; Help!; and Magical Mystery Tour.

It’s a little known fact that if you were to add up all of the Beatle’s songs ever recorded…it totals about 10 hours of music!!!

Paul McCartney's song 'Yesterday', which was recently voted the most popular song of the century by a BBC poll, had music written before the lyrics. AND…Paul used the working words 'scrambled eggs' before coming up with 'yesterday' while composing this song.

The Decca Recording Company is famously quoted as saying this back in 1962, when they rejected the band and did not sign them: "We don’t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out".

And finally…according to EMI and the Guiness Book Of World Records: The Beatles have sold in excess of 1 billion units. That includes records, cassettes and CDs.

A suspect in an Ohio home robbery was arrested when he returned to the scene of the crime two hours later -- to ask the victim for a date!

Do you gossip? New studies out this morning conclude that people spend 80 percent of their time gossiping. The Dr’s reported in this intense study that in times gone by, it could have proved vital to survival, with the trading of tidbits helping cavemen catch thieves and elect leaders. They go on to say: "Language evolved to allow us to gossip and develop more complex societies. Baboons and chimps have complex societies because individuals know a lot about each other."
