Taking The Last Train To Hamburg
by Kevin Burton Well this is it, me climbing on board. In my Beatles discussion yesterday I made reference to the band’s time in Hamburg, Germany where they played marathon sets and honed their craft (“Beatles Are Template For All That Followed,” March 12). So this is me making a last-ditch effort …
Beatles Are Template For All That Followed

Atlanta “Hammers” Name Would Honor Hank
by Kevin Burton In January I wrote about the great Hank Aaron in the context of including Negro League Statistics as official MLB stats (“Of Hank Aaron, Uncle Pint And Statistics,” Jan. 16). Sadly Aaron died a few days later, on Jan. 22, at the age of 86. Shortly after that an …
Favorite Songs With Orange In The Title
by Kevin Burton Orange is too bright to be ignored, too loud to be quiet. Orange has something to say, so listen up. Orange may be the flyingest of all flying colors, so that’s where we land on our trip around the rainbow this week. With apologies to the grape variety, “I …
