I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

After weeks of blocking out almost everything apart from my book, I’m very pleased to say it’s almost finished. I’ve just ordered some paperback proof copies from Amazon which should arrive next week. They’re for subbing/editing purposes, so it’s not the final version, but it’ll be great to have them in-hand.

It’s been something of a crash course in book production. It turns out self-publishing isn’t all that straightforward, and there are loads of considerations: beyond the writing and editing, there’s interior formatting, front and back matter, writing a blurb, commissioning artwork, buying ISBN numbers, generating barcodes, registering the title and details, worrying about trim sizes (the book’s dimensions – I actually got a tape measure and went around my study checking different books), enlisting beta readers and reviewers, working up a marketing plan, and considering worldwide prices and distribution. And I’m still fearful that the book will either a) get pulled for one legal reason or another, b) get slated by reviewers, or c) not get bought by anyone. Honestly, I’m going to stick to websites after this – they’re so much easier.

On that subject, I’ve spent the morning redoing the Strawberry Fields Forever pages with the info from the Sgt Pepper box set. It’s quite frustrating – the book says it has information that contradicts everything you might have read elsewhere, but it still has omissions. There’s almost nothing on takes 5-6 of SFF, for example – it actually implies that they were overdubs onto take four, but I really don’t think that’s true. And I find myself asking questions like “but… but… who played the congas on Penny Lane ? I NEED TO KNOW.” I think I need a holiday.

@William Shears Campbell Initially, I wanted to wait until the very last and get up at 5 am but I’m too afraid I wouldn’t wake up in time for your departure. So:

Have a fabulous time on your mission! May you experience a completely new side of life, find spirituality, make new friends, help many people, spread love, and also have some fun! But before you go, there’s just one more thing from me: As you know, you will have to live the hard life of a Northerner for the following two years. Therefore, I thought, you’d appreciate this little gift, from Northerner to future Northerner:

herecomesthesun.jpgImage Enlarger

And, what do you think? Have you got some space left in your suitcase? It also only takes up 1 400 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000  m^3.a-hard-days-night-george-10

However, if you don’t want to or can’t take it with you, for which reason ever, I’d recommend to give it a close look, as it might be the last time you’ll see the sun in two years… Hehe, just kidding!a-hard-days-night-paul-11 Enjoy the fact, that’s not 40°C in summer anymore!a-hard-days-night-john-6

 Now it’s time to really say goodbye! We’ll all miss you! But you’ll come back again and I already look forward to the day you’ll post your 101st Beatles Vynil in the appropriate thread! 

Farewell, Billy Shears, and see you again in 11303.2 WAD (White Album Durations)!

Not once does the diversity seem forced -- the genius of the record is how the vaudevillian "When I'm 64" seems like a logical extension of "Within You Without You" and how it provides a gateway to the chiming guitars of "Lovely Rita. - Stephen T. Erlewine on Sgt Pepper's

Well I’ve got about an hour before the Stake president comes over to set me apart so I think I’m gonna log off. It’s been real, BB! I sent out my first email to my list to let them know they were on my list. @sir walter raleigh should have gotten the email. If he didn’t then he needs to email me. If you guys want to contact me, just PM sir walter raleigh and I’m sure he’ll put your message in his weekly update emails. If you guys message me I’ll try to get back to all of you during my P-days.

Anyway with that said, see you all in 2 (or 11,233ish* White Album listens.(I had that number ready long before @Martha made her post))

-William Shears Campbell out

*Starting from my report date(August 2nd) and going until the same day in 2019.

If forum accounts were guitars, then your guitar would gently weep like the one in While My Guitar Gently Weeps . It’s a good thing @sir walter raleigh is going to send those weekly emails so we aren’t completely torn from you. As Neil said, this is one small step for BIlly but a lot of tears from us.

After August 4 I’ll be dropping out of the corporate world to embark on my John Lennon Dakota phase. I’ll be baking bread, watching televangelists, and raising our two cats. (Actually, I’ll be saying mass, meditating and writing.)
