This episode, we're looking at the Beatles' earliest professional
tour, a week-long gig backing singer Johnny Gentle, in 1960. We
trace how this first professional tour was the first real step
that put them on the trajectory to Beatlemania. We also discuss
the fascinating story of drummer Tommy Moore, the origins of
Paul's pseudonym "Paul Ramon," and listen to the little-known
first instance of a Beatles' composition in a
professionally-recorded song.

Plus, we celebrate the birthday of a special guy in Allison's
life, while Erika gushes over Brian Ray's new gig as music
director for the podcast version of "Countdown with Keith
Olbermann."
