Harris Happening

Great conversation with Ken McNab author of the new book "And  In The End -The Last Days of The Beatles"

From Glasgow Scotland Ken told us about the need to write this book. There always is something new about the world's most famous musicians.

Ken breaks down that last year, month by month, chatting with a journalist who John told he was leaving the Beatles and held him to keep it a secret, but someone else would later let the cat out of the bag.

The feud between the four to have Allen Klein or Lee Eastman run the business end of the band.

An amazing interview of the doctor and nurse who watched over John and Yoko in the hospital after a car accident.

He also talked with the engineer who recorded "Give Peace a Chance" at the Bed-In for Peace" in Toronto and gives a secret about the recording not many new about.

We talked a lot about John including him throwing up before his first concert appearance in some four years after the Beatles played the states.

Only a portion of this interview has aired...your chance to hear it all now.

The book "And in the End" is available on the net and your favorite book store..

Andrew Maus, Director and CEO of the Plains Art Museum tells us of the exciting new exhibit featuring works of some legendary artists.

From Renoir to Kostabi features selected works by six historically or critically acclaimed artists whose careers collectively span more than one hundred years, from the late nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Four of the artists, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec , Pablo Picasso , and Marc Chagall have been well known worldwide for many decades. The two other artists, equally deserving of such recognition, are likely being introduced to most exhibition visitors for the first time. Marcel Mouly  was the last figure from the ‘School of Paris’ group to live well into the first decade of the new Millennium. Mark Kostabi (born 1960) is a widely celebrated contemporary artist who rose to fame in the 1980s as an active participant in New York City’s East Village Scene.

This exhibition of 219 prints was originally slated for exhibition at The State Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia and canceled due to Covid-related travel issues, Plains Art Museum welcomes the powerfully delightful exhibition.

Filling in on the Drive for Dan Michaels, I had the pleasure of bringing Susan Dollinger on line from the Unclaimed  Property Department. A place where there might be cash waiting for you.

When someone owes you money and they can't find you, they can't keep the money, but must submit  it to that state's office of Unclaimed Property. Then it's up to you to check the list to see if you're listed...them millions of dollars waiting to be claimed include a couple of huge ones in N.D.

Monies might be from tax funds, insurance payments, rebate checks...the only physical property they take in is from abandoned safe deposit boxes. 

I've found lots of cash for friends but have yet to find "Bob Harris" on the list.

People should check every state they have lived in or done business in.. To do that go to www.missingmoney.com and click on the appropriate state. There'll be a little paperwork to download and a phone number to call if any questions.

Good Luck and hope you find your name on the list.
