We played with the Beatles Fan Club band in a Beatle week in  POA wearing  the coats of Sargent Peppers.
 I work downtown and in my break for lunch and spare time I always descend and take a walk. Last friday and today I came across Pedro Marini. They are playing every friday with a bluegrass band in the Rua dos Andradas street,(the main street in POA downtown). Pedrinho is son of Mitch Marini, who was also a bass player. We played together in some groups. Mitch died and Pedro inherit 2 electric basses, 2 big acoustic basses, 2 motorbikes and the aim to survive from music while living here. Mitch used to play electric bass in a band with me, and he also played classical music in the orchestra with my nephew Rodrigo(cello), the Porto Alegre Symphonic Orchestra (OSPA-Orquestra Sinfônica de Porto Alegre). One time we were interviewed by a local TV channel and he said on the air to the TV reporter that there were 3 great names in the history of music starting with the B letter: Brahms, Beethoven and Bach, and that he would add to that list the 4th name: The Beatles.

There is a wall in POA with a painting of the Yellow Submarine. We went to that wall and took some photos that was send to the Correio do Povo newspaper  http://www.correiodopovo.com.br/ , and it was published for the anniversary of the Beatles Fan Club Brazil.

TokeLoko was the first beat group that I played with.We started with a show in Araujo Vianna Auditorium and this photo was by Antonio Pacheco for Zero Hora,  http://zerohora.clicrbs.com.br/rs/

There were two groups in POA that played Beatles, but after that report on Z.H. newspaper, the two became one. At the time of this review, Paulo and me were with other drummer and guitarist in Tokeloko, and Mitch and Schneider(our former drummer) went to form the Swing band. After that we reunited again. They returned to Tokeloko. Later we were together with Mitch and Schneider in the Beatles Fan club band. 
We all quit this band, and now I'm playing in a band and we play a little bit of everything, but Beatles is at least 50% of our set list. I also keep on studying acoustic guitar. 
We will play tomorrow, saturday night, 12, in a bar in called Rivertê in Capão da Canoa, http://br.kekanto.com/biz/riverte-pub
