[QuadList] The Beatles, Washington D.C. 1964

[David C. Crosthwait]

Ron is a "one of a kind" dedicated individual. I've worked with him  
over the years on many video projects, including a couple of  
Carpenters releases and "The Making of Hard Days Night". He  
contributed to "Elvis: The Great Performances", another program I  
worked on back in the late eighties. He's a walking encyclopedia on  
all things Beatles, Stones, Sinatra, and on and on.

He is always working on a "surprise project" and comes up with 2" tape  
constantly. Stay tuned for more...
