 Julian
sent out an email via the announce list on the official site JulianLennon.com
stating that he had purchased a vacation home in the Mediterranean last
year and spent the entire year remodeling it...
Now he is focusing on his music again... He is putting
in a studio at his home and is looking for musicians and producers for
his next album... Julian has also recorded the Beatles' "Blackbird"
for an upcoming tribute to Linda McCartney proceeds from which will
benefit the American charity Women Against Cancer.
Julian will also be working on a cover of Kevin
Gilbert's "Things She Said" for an upcoming tribute album
for him... "Things She Said" originally appeared on Toy Manitee's
"Toy Manitee" with Julian singing background vocals on the
song. - Guest Appearance Discography
Beyond that Julian has been doing a lot of cooking: "anything
from Italian to Thai, from English to French. You name it I'll try it."
And has been getting into the habit of writing down the recipes in hopes
of one day doing a cookbook with either sketches or photographs. He
has also been doing a lot of gardening and reaping the benefit of home
grown food ...

Deirdre
O'Donoghue, longtime host of the radio program "Breakfast With
the Beatles" was found dead in her Santa Monica home Saturday
January 27th by police officers who responded to a report that she had
missed a broadcast on KLSX-FM and had not returned phone calls. The
coroner's office is investigating the cause of death, but foul play
is not suspected.
Deirdre did a long interview with Julian during his promotion of Photograph
Smile and joked about how she would now see her words transcribed
on one of his fan sites... unfortunately the transcription of this interview
has yet to be completed which is sad as it was something we had emailed
about and she was excited to see... Thanks to Trudy for letting me know
about Deirdre's death... CJ

tells us that last week in her local paper she saw an ad for Rio's
Hottest Downloads. All the songs on the Top Ten are available via
RollingStone.com
and Day After Day is at number 7! The description for the song in the
ad was: "From Photograph Smile, his first album in a decade."
Well, not quite a decade but close 
Thanks Annie!

Debbie
Miller tells us she was recently at the John Lennon Museum in
Tokyo, Japan.
| I went to the museum last month and enjoyed it
immensely. It costs 1,500 yen (approximately $15 U.S. dollars)
to gain entry to the museum, but it's worth it!
There were a couple of pictures of Julian there!
I remember, seeing at the museum, a childhood picture of
Julian on the wall. He was posed standing by a piano ("Photograph
Smile"). I think I saw his VIB pictures from a 1960's
magazine, too.... There was just one picture of Cynthia. Her
picture is posted on the wall with no background in the photo.
She was looking over her shoulder, to the side, facing the
camera in her pose.
The museum is mostly focused on John Lennon's accomplishments
during his lifetime. I hope this information is helpful to
you. The following website is in English:
