SIXTIES RESORT GLAM

The Great Ball Court of Chichen Itza, Mexico

The Mayans were great sportsmen and built enormous ballcourts to play  their games. The Great Ball Court of Chichen Itza,the largest and finest found at  225 feet wide, and 545 feet long; remains one of the enigmas of ancient times.

With continuous walls and no ceiling, rather - left open to the sky, a whisper at one end of the court may be heard clearly at the opposite end as well as the entire length and breadth of the court. Sound waves within are not affected by wind direction, time of day, or time of night.

In the early 30's this 'whispering gallery' attracted Leopold Stokowski to try and determine its acoustic principals that might be applied to theatre for an open-air concert he was embarking on.  He failed to find the secret which has never been explained.

WATCH OUT NOW - TAKE CARE - BEWARE OF SOFT-SHOE SHUFFLERS

Beware of Darkness - George Harrison

"I'm never conscious of being a Beatle. Never. I'm just me."

"I am the most conservative of the four of us. Not compared with outside people....the thing is, we're really all the same person."

"I'm beginning to know that all I know is that I know nothing."

"It'll be nice to be part of history, some sort of history anyway. What I'd like to be is in school history books and be read by kids."
