The magic of The Beatles explained
A Unique Evening with Howard Goodall
December 16th The George Theater
World-renowned Beatles expert Howard Goodall will be in Houston to share his insights into the creative genius of the Fab Four. Gow Media and St. Luke's Friends of Music have collaborated to create the event, which will take place Monday evening, December 16th, at the beautiful George Theatre located at 5420 Westheimer. Doors will open at 6:30 and includes light bites both before and after Goodall's presentation at 7:30.
Goodall, one of Great Britain's top composers, has a longstanding friendship with Paul McCartney and a deep understanding of the legacy of the Beatles. Goodall will discuss how particular songs came together; the Beatles' innovative use of instruments and their impact on the development of popular music. Goodall's talk will be followed by a Q&A with Ken Hoffman, perhaps Houston's biggest Beatles fan.
This is an exceptional, rare opportunity -- the first time Goodall has given his presentation on the Beatles in the United States. Tickets are now on sale and make a compelling early holiday gift for Beatles enthusiasts!

Oakland starter Mitch Spence permitted seven hits and two runs in seven innings.
Singleton hit a ground-rule double with one out in the second before Heyward smacked a line drive into the second row in right field for his first home run as an Astro to make it 2-0.
It was the third hit in 12 games with Houston for Heyward, who signed with the Astros Aug. 29 after being released by the Dodgers.
Jacob Wilson doubled to open the seventh and moved to third on a ground out by Nevin. The Athletics cut the lead to 1 when Wilson scored on a single by Daz Cameron that chased Valdez.
Bryan Abreu took over and pinch-hitter Seth Brown grounded into a double play on his second pitch to preserve the lead.
Lawrence Butler doubled with one out in the third to extend his career-long hitting streak to 20 games.
Singleton doubled again to start Houston’s fourth before Spence sat down the next 11 Astros. Houston’s next base runner came on a double by Dubón with two outs in the seventh and Alex Bregman grounded out to leave him stranded.
