The Andrew Loog OldHam Diary

________________________________________________________________________________________________


The  Institute of Inane Research  has discovered fragments of a 1963 diary
kept by Andrew Loog Oldham, who famously managed this British rock band.




In 2014, Mr. Oldham was inducted into
the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.


















April 11, 1963 
Four boys approached me.
They wanted to form a barbershop quartet.


I said NO!
Maybe a pickpocket quartet.






April 22, 1963 
I introduce the four boys to  Brian Jones.

Brian plays twelve different instruments 
and believes God sits at Muddy Waters' right hand.

He has a name for the band, the Rolling Stones.
He teaches Michael Jagger how to dance.
He teaches Keith Richards 
how to play blues guitar.








November 10, 1963 
The band has written a song 
(Can't Get No) Sleepification.

It needs work 
but it has a great beat.

Another Andrew Oldham page is  there.
