Geoge Martin Success


Greetings,

Today I’m posting another success related to the music industry.

Sir George Martin is a record producer, musician, arranger and composer. He is often called “The Fifth Beatle”. This title is due to his work as a producer of all Beatles’ albums but one. He even plays piano on some of The Beatles’ songs.

The Beatles were an English rock band from the 60s. Their success remains till today, and their songs are known by everyone, such as “Yesterday”, “Hey Jude”, “Yellow Submarine”, among others. Their members were Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. George Martin was an important part of the groups’ history, producing their albums, taking them to a level no other group had reached before.

George Martin sent me a couple of photos, all autographed and personalized! Having this autograph is like having a bit of history, which makes listening to The Beatles' songs even more enjoyable.

Ken Leung Success

Today I'm posting another autograph for the Lost fans.
Kenneth “Ken” Leung is an American actor. He is probably most known for his role as Miles Straume on Lost TV show.

We first get to know Miles in the beginning of Season 4, as part of a team who arrives at the island by helicopter. The rest of his group included Daniel Faraday, Charlotte Lewis and Frank Lapidus. They went to the island in search of Benjamin Linus. Miles became an important part of the story, becoming a part of the Dharma Initiative when they go back in time.

Ken Leung was great with the autograph he sent me. The photo was provided by him; he even personalized it and wrote “Aloha” on the photo!

Frank Abagnale Success

Hello everyone,

Today’s autograph is a bit different from the previous ones. From the photo, you may not directly recognize who Frank Abagnale is. The best way tell you who he is is asking you if you have ever watched “Catch Me If You Can” with Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Steven Spielberg.

Well, in “Catch Me If You Can” Leonardo DiCaprio plays “Frank Abagnale”, and this autograph is from the real man “Frank Abagnale”.

Frank Abagnale’s life story was used to the movie. Nowadays, he works as a consultant and a lecturer for the FBI and also has his own company “Abagnale & Associates”, a financial fraud consultancy company.

The autograph has some interesting characteristics. The photo was sent to him by me, and as you can see he did a nice inscription and put the date on. Besides, most visible from the back of the photo, he sticked a Hologram of Authenticity and put an Authenticity Seal, in order to prevent possible forgeries.
