Besotted Canadian youngsters youngsters lined up for as long as 73 hours in the cold and rain for tickets to the Beatles' concerts concerts in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. The countdown countdown to B-day, the date the Fah Four would finally land in Canada, continued with mounting urgency all that spring and summer of 1964. No act in entertainment history had ever made the impact of the Beallcs-not Frank Sinatra, not even Elvis Presley. Our Hearts Went Boom tells the story of the Beatles' invasion of Canada in words and through an evocative selection of memorabilia and photographs culled from archives across the country. Included are the reminiscences reminiscences of Trudy Metcalf, the president of Canada's largest Beatles fan club; Paul White, the Capitol Canada record executive who had the fore sight to sign them months before his counterparts in the United States; Red Robinson, the Vancouver radio personality personality who hosted the show at Empire Stadium; Michele Finney, the CBC starlet who interviewed the Beatles back- stage in Toronto; and of course, many of the now middle-aged middle-aged fans who saw the concerts and who will never forget their advcnturcs-and often misadvcnturcs-in pursuing pursuing their passion for the Liverpool Four. Recaptured in this book is an unforgettable period in Canada's cultural history; a time when young hearts across the country went Boom for the fabulous Beatles. (Viking Canada, 224 pages).

"I remember I've never been so nervous in my life," recalls Jessome, a Courlice resident. Since then, Jessome and Sam Orbison have travelled coast-to-coast and into the U.S., performing performing the Roy Orbison Story. The Story will come to the Oshawa Little Theatre January 8 and 9. "It's a two-hour musical musical presentation with commentary commentary done by Sam Orbison," explains Jessome.

Jessome and the younger Orbison, who resides in Texas, have been putting on the show for about the past live years. But it's the first time Jessome has brought the tribute to Durham. "I'm really looking forward forward to it. I think there arc a lot of fans out here," he says. Jessome says there are sonic physical similarities between himself and his idol.
