#126: Bob Kealing - "Good Day Sunshine State"

The biggest-selling musical act of all time isn't necessarily well-known for the time they spent in Florida, but Bob Kealing says they should be. The Beatles stopped in Florida just after their world-changing appearance on the "Ed Sullivan Show," and were exposed to a magical side of America. The Beatles soaked up Miami's beaches, bikinis and sunshine, and spent more time in Florida than anywhere else during their first sojourn to the US. They would return several months later to play a show in Jacksonville, and wound up taking a stand that impacted the Civil Rights movement and the music industry forever. Bob is a foremost authority on Florida history, and paints a vivid picture of the Beatles in Florida, using an array of sources that only he could have cultivated.
