It was 53 years ago Sunday (May 30th, 1968) that the Beatles began recording their 30-song self-titled double album, which is commonly known as "The White Album." On May 30th, 1968, the "White Album's" first session was held for John Lennon's "Revolution 1," which was recorded in London at EMI's Studio Two, with the session stretching from 2:30 p.m. to 2:40 a.m. the next day. It was the group's first studio work since returning from Rishikesh, India after an extended stay to study transcendental meditation under the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Hallelujah, time for halibut
My husband fishes with Captain Joe Brewer aboard the boat Hey Jude II. A traditional lobster boat, this fishing vessel is rigged with lines and hooks every May to “hook” for halibut.

During the 1950s, halibut landings in the state routinely totaled more than 100,000 pounds. During the 1960s, that number dropped although annual landings of over 100,000 pounds still occurred occasionally even as late as the 1980s.
