Armoury Studios
 
Some of my "pet projects" which include drummer Bernard Purdie's "connection" to the Beatles, John Lennon in Germany (1960-62), the construction of Armoury Studios, and some information on the design and construction of Quilchena Elementary School in Vancouver.
Bernard Purdie
Bernard Purdie claims to have substituted for Ringo on 21 Beatle recordings. Really?!?
John Lennon in Germany
Between 1960 and 1962, before they were famous, The Beatles performed at a number of seedy nightclubs in Hamburg, Germany.
Armoury Studios
Some "behind the walls" photos and notes on the construction of "The Armoury".
Quilchena School
A brief history of Vancouver's Quilchena Elementary School.  This page is still being developed, but there's a little bit to look at.
