Here's What They're Saying About
The Beatles: Off The Record
What a wonderful trip down Memory Lane for all of us who are still Beatle fans! Rick Iacoboni performed a wonderful mix of many of the Beatle's memorable songs. It was especially great to hear some of the anecdotes about the origin of many of their famous tunes. What a creative group they were and how enjoyable Rick was in reminding us about this historic foursome and their artistic works! A must-see program for the 60's crowd and our younger generations who love music!

Rick Iacoboni's masterful arrangements of classic Beatles tunes, combined with his entertaining and informative anecdotes on the songs' origins, make for a most enjoyable evening of good music. His recent performance at the Brooklyn branch of the Cuyahoga County Public Library left the 60-plus audience members spellbound and eager for more. We hope he can return soon!

My 83 year old mother, husband and I – all long-time Beatles fans – enjoyed Rick Iacoboni's "Behind The Music of The Beatles" presentation. He was very knowledgeable about how certain songs came about and the meanings behind the lyrics. He played some Beatles songs with his own twist and played other songs the way a Beatles fan is used to hearing them. He was pleasant to listen to on his six- and 12-string guitars. My family and I recommend anyone who enjoys Beatles music to attend one of his presentations! In fact I am planning on attending his presentation again next week at another branch!

"Behind The Music of the Beatles" presentation was a tremendous opportunity for all music lovers to learn more about the Beatles and their amazing contributions to our culture. Rick's wonderful acoustic renditions and the skill he played them was the highlight of the evening. Rick shared many informative tidbits about the Fab Four, how their music came about and their influences. This presentation is a MUST for any Beatles' fan!

Solon Library patrons who saw Rick Iacoboni's presentation on the Beatles were truly engaged with his beautiful acoustic music and his revealing story telling. In between his instrumental guitar interpretations of Beatles songs, Rick interacted with his audience, telling the history and stories behind the songs, and answered questions posed to him. This program was as much a music history lesson as it was an opportunity to enjoy songs that we have all heard before, but with an acoustic twist.

Your program on the Beatles was wonderful and truly amazing. The information and trivia you presented was quite astounding. It was very obvious that you are passionate about the Beatles, and you made the huge turnout at Bay Village Library so enlightened with your knowledge. Your portrayal of their accomplishments was astounding. Great job and I hope all your other library presentations are equally successful as last night.

The many patrons in attendance were appreciative of his talent in performing songs from the Beatles’ repertoire, and impressed by the depth of his subject knowledge. For institutions looking for a solid and enjoyable program, Mr. Iacoboni provides great value for the money, and a delightful change-of-pace to your offerings."

Rick's unique presentation, Behind the Music of The Beatles, blends the perfect balance of interesting behind-the-scenes facts and stories with entertaining Beatles tunes beautifully performed on acoustic guitar.

Rick's eloquent delivery provided great insight on the relationship between the Beatles themselves and how their songs were written and recorded. I thoroughly enjoyed his beautiful solo, acoustic guitar interpretations of the Beatles songs.

Everyone had such a great time at Rick's Behind the Music of The Beatles program!!! The stories and the music were so entertaining and the PowerPoint presentation he added enhanced the show! He is such a nice, easy-going person to work with. I would have him back at our library for another program, anytime!!
