[peel] Re: Found a 45 from Dallas DJ "Weird Beard" radio show from when Peel worked there

Well no, its just your standard record single but that copy was on-air on the show when Peel worked on it as their "Beatles Expert" - "After John made a call to KLIF, to correct Russ Knight, more commonly known as the Weird Beard, on some point of fact about Liverpool, Knight -- or should that be Mr Beard? -- hired him as the show's official Beatles Correspondent... In his capacity as KLIF's voice of the Beatles, John would be called upon to answer whichever enquiries about the Fab Four the young Dallas audience saw fit to send his way, though there would typically be a record played between question and answer, to give John time to find out the name of Paul's pet marmoset, or how many sugars Ringo's Auntie Beryl took in her coffee."
John goes on throughout his life to mention his days in Dallas and Weird Beard quite a bit in various interviews so its just a fun tidbit and something that this US-based Peel fan was rather astounded to find 50 years later in a pile of swap meet records. That's all.
