🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- 8 Ways to Heat a Greenhouse. Being able to heat a greenhouse is essential for anyone who wants to grow plants year-round, especially in colder climates. By maintaining a stable temperature, you can extend your growing season, protect delicate plants from frost, and ensure a continuous harvest even during winter months. Whether you’re using a small backyard greenhouse or managing a larger structure, there are several effective ways to keep the inside warm. This guide will walk you through some of the most practical heating solutions, helping you choose the best option for your needs and budget. 1. Space Heaters Space heaters are a popular and effective way to heat a greenhouse. Depending on your setup, you can choose between electric, propane, or natural gas. Electric space heaters can be expensive to run. The size of the greenhouse will determine your best option. If you’re going to use electric space heaters, it’s a good idea to run wires to the greenhouse so you don't have to use extension cords which can overheat, get unplugged, or get damaged in the weather. Electric space heaters are generally the easiest to use and provide a steady heat source. They don’t produce any harmful emissions, making them safe for plants and humans alike. Look for heaters with thermostats and fans to circulate warm air through the greenhouse. Propane heaters or natural gas space heaters are the best choice for larger greenhouses. These heaters burn fuel to generate heat, and while they can be more efficient and cost-effective for larger spaces, they do require proper ventilation to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. You should install a carbon monoxide detector to be on the safe side. Some propane models come with oxygen sensors that shut off the heater if oxygen levels drop too low. When using any kind of space heaters, it’s essential to ensure they are placed away from any flammable materials. The middle of the aisle is your best spot. Set them on timers or use thermostats to avoid overheating the greenhouse. 2. Heat Mats Heat mats are a gentler heating option often used in combination with other heating methods. The mats are placed under plant trays or seed beds and provide localized warmth to the root zones of plants, which is useful for starting seedlings in cooler conditions. Heat mats are not going to keep a large greenhouse warm. The roots might be warm, but if your plants are in the blooming season, you’ll need another heating method. Seedling heat mats are small mats designed specifically for individual trays of seeds or small plants. They promote faster germination and are great for the first couple of weeks after planting. Larger heating mats can be placed directly on the floor or on growing tables to heat larger areas or a group of plants. The mats put out consistent heat without drying out the air around them, which can happen with other types of heaters. Heat mats are energy efficient. If you want to target specific areas without heating the entire greenhouse, these are a good option. 3. Heating with Thermal Mass Thermal mass is a more passive heating strategy, relying on certain materials to absorb heat during the day and release it slowly during the night. This method works in cool temperatures, but not great for cold temps. The size of the greenhouse is going to be a big factor. Water barrels painted black are commonly used in greenhouses. These barrels absorb the sun’s heat during the day and radiate it back into the greenhouse at night. Put them near plants or along the walls to help stabilize the temperatures. People also use smaller containers, like milk jugs painted black. The jugs should be placed against the walls where they get the most exposure to sunlight and will block the cold from seeping in. Stone or brick walls can also be used. They pull the heat from the sun all day and release it after sunset. This method is more of a long-term solution but can be very effective if incorporated during the greenhouse's construction. Use bricks for the flooring and the bottom twelve inches or so of the greenhouse. The advantage of using thermal mass is that it doesn't require electricity or fuel. A stone floor combined with one of the other heating systems can help reduce dependence on your other heat sources. 4. Solar Heating Systems Solar heating systems provide a sustainable method for keeping the greenhouse warm. Solar systems work by capturing and storing heat from the sun and then using it to power your electric heater. Active solar systems typically involve solar panels that convert sunlight into electrical energy just like you would see on a solar-powered house. If the greenhouse is warm from thermal heat, the solar power can be used to run fans. Passive solar systems work similarly to thermal mass by capturing heat from the sun during the day and releasing it slowly as temperatures drop. A solar heating system can be expensive, but it pays off in the long run with reduced energy bills. 5. Sealing Leaks No heating system will be efficient if the greenhouse has leaks where cold air can enter. Sealing leaks is one of the simplest but often overlooked steps in building a greenhouse. Yes, you need airflow, but you can control the air with fans or having a vent at one end of the greenhouse. Check windows, doors, and seams for any gaps or drafts. Even small leaks can drastically reduce the effectiveness of heating systems, forcing them to work harder and use more energy. Your heat will escape through any crack. Weatherstripping can be applied around doors and windows to create a tighter seal and keep the cold air out. Silicone or caulking material can be used to fill in cracks or gaps. Double-layer polycarbonate or glass can also help reduce heat loss. Single-pane windows or plastic coverings tend to lose heat more quickly. Yes, they are more expensive, but the investment will save you a lot of money down the road. Seal it up and reduce the need for constant heating. 6. Adding Insulation Insulation might seem silly for a greenhouse, but in the winter, you’re no longer relying on the heat from outside. Insulation reduces heat loss and keeps plants warm. Bubble wrap is often used to insulate greenhouses. It’s lightweight, easy to install, and provides an extra layer of protection against heat loss. Bubble wrap can be attached to the inside walls or roof of the greenhouse, trapping warm air while still allowing light to pass through. It can be removed in the spring and stored for next winter. If you’re lucky, you can get it for free from businesses that would typically throw it away. Foam insulation boards can be added to the north side of a greenhouse. This helps prevent cold air from entering and reflects heat back into the space. Thermal curtains or shade cloths placed inside the greenhouse provide extra insulation at night. These curtains are pulled over windows or across the ceiling to create a thermal barrier that retains heat. Again, heat rises. You want to trap as much heat inside by reflecting it back down. Insulated foundations help prevent heat from escaping through the ground. Installing a layer of foam insulation or using raised beds can help trap heat around the plant roots. 7. Ground Heating Systems Ground heating systems or underfloor heating can also be effective for keeping a greenhouse warm. These systems use either electric cables or hot water pipes placed under the flooring to provide even, gentle heat from the ground up. This tends to be an expensive installation, but radiant heating is quickly growing in popularity. Electric underfloor heating consists of heating cables or mats that can be laid under a greenhouse floor. They gently warm the floor, radiating heat upward. Hydronic underfloor systems use hot water pumped through tubes under the floor. These are more complex to install but are highly energy-efficient and a great option for big greenhouses. Ground heating systems are typically installed under flooring materials like thick gravel or pavers, which help trap and radiate the heat using the thermal method. 8. Circulating Air It’s crucial to maintain proper air circulation to ensure even heat distribution throughout the greenhouse. Oscillating fans can help move warm air around the space. Without proper air circulation, certain areas of the greenhouse may stay too hot or cold. Ceiling fans are an option for large greenhouses. Proper air movement reduces the risk of mold or mildew, which can thrive in warm, stagnant conditions. "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- 12 Emergency Heat Sources for the Winter. As winter approaches, many people across the Northern hemisphere are preparing for winter and engaging in their customary winterizing chores. Screens are coming down and storm windows are going up; doors, windows and electric sockets are checked for air leaks and sealed; furnace filters are replaced, chimneys swept clean, and the summer clothes are exchanged for winter clothes in the closets. A common-sense approach to managing heat in winter is defined by 3 things: insulation, conservation and prioritization. Want to save this post for later? Click Here to Pin It On Pinterest! Insulation There are thermal heat guns that you can point at walls and ceilings to indicate areas where insulation may be lacking or non-existent. It’s impossible to see through walls, but a heat gun betrays cold spots that could be compromising heat retention. This is often most notable at the top of walls where they meet the ceiling due to the settling and sagging of insulation over time. That’s typically not a significant problem, but if large areas of a wall or ceiling show a cold spot, it’s worth looking for solutions. If you don’t have the budget or the inclination to buy or rent a thermal heat gun, you can simply hold your hand to surfaces, around window and door frames, over electric outlets or any other part of the house that could have any exposure to outdoor temperatures and drafts including a dryer vent or cat/dog door. There are adhesive insulation strips you can apply to doors and windows and cutout insulation pads for electric sockets and switch plates. Take the time to find the drafts and stop them. Conservation Let’s start simply. Tell everyone to “close the door.” The trunk may be loaded with groceries, but take the time to stack them by the door to shorten the amount of time any door is open or make it a family effort and tell everyone to grab a bag. When heat is precious every draft from an open door is stealing your heat. And don’t forget to dress for the weather not only outside but inside as well. Sweaters are a good place to start, but the days of wandering around a house that’s toasty warm may be a luxury that few can afford this winter. Hopefully you’re not all living in hoodies but one way to conserve energy is to let your body keep you warm. Warm clothing is one of the keys to making that happen. If your oven works, use it to cook more frequently. Fall and winter are sometimes referred to as “baking season” and there’s a reason. People are more tolerant of heat from an oven in the winter, and the heat from an oven can actually maintain warm temperatures for hours after you’re done cooking. Maybe it’s time to cook more turkeys and hams this winter. They usually require hours to cook,and it’s the best way to take advantage of peripheral heat. Avoid the temptation to use a range top or empty stove to create warmth unless it’s an absolute emergency. Bake a cake or a loaf of bread. If the oven works, cook everything that way – assuming you have the natural gas or electricity to make it work. Prioritization Got a guest room? Close the vents and shut the door. Most guest rooms spend most of their time unoccupied. If you’re not living in the room, don’t heat it. Some critical exceptions are bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms or any other room that has plumbing. You don’t have to keep these rooms toasty warm but you can’t let them get below freezing. One way to help any heat reach the plumbing is to leave cabinet doors open under sinks and bathroom vanities. The same applies to maintaining heat in the basement although basements often maintain the best temperatures in extremely cold temperatures. That’s because the surrounding soil holds some degree of heat around the basement foundation. It won’t be the warmest place in the house but it may be enough to keep things above freezing. If you have a furnace or any other type of whole house heating located in the basement the heat from the unit itself may be enough to protect any plumbing. That assumes it’s still working. Just keep an eye on things like plumbing as winter progresses. Home Heating Alternatives There are a lot of possibilities for generating heat indoors beyond a standard furnace. The big question is your location and the severity of winter. The worst the winter the more robust the heating alternative needs to be. Another idea to keep in mind is to use a variety of alternative heat sources. You don’t need to keep bedrooms warm during the day but at night a small space heater could get you through the night. It helps to have a down-filled quilt or comforter but if you can see your breath while you sleep you might as well be camping. Think about various heat alternatives that could work for specific spaces and places and work together around the house. Before we get into the pros and cons of some alternative heat sources you need to think about the duration of your alternative heating needs. Are you looking for a permanent, long-term solution? Are you thinking this may be a semi-permanent situation that you can use from time to time? Is this a short-term heating solution for emergencies or extremely cold days and nights? Determining the degree to which you need to pursue heating alternatives will have a lot to do with what you put together to get through the winter. It also will affect costs and timing, but there’s one other factor to remember that created this whole situation to begin with: fuel. Its one thing to get a pellet stove to heat your home; it’s another thing to keep a ready supply of pellets on hand. On average, a pellet stove burns 40 pounds of pellets (1 bag) every 48 hours with steady use. If that’s your sole source of alternative heat and you have a winter that stretches over 100 days, that means you need to stack 50 bags of pellets. Pellet Stockpile The average cost for a bag of pellets in a 40-pound bag when sold in bulk (usually by the ton or 50 bags) is $4 to $5. But here’s where a problem emerges. If enough people decide that pellets are their primary heating alternative, the demand will skyrocket and the laws of supply and demand will kick in. As the demand grows, so will the price. At the high end a ton of pellets costs $250. If that jumps to $10 a bag in bulk, the price doubles to $500. And to be clear, pellet stoves can heat a few rooms but rarely heat a whole house. Still, it may be a cheaper alternative but any alternative heat source needs some type of fuel or power to generate heat. Think about stocking up and know that when you run out you may have a difficult time finding more of anything. And it’s Not Just About Pellets Choose your fuel: kerosene, propane, liquid natural gas, firewood, pellets, charcoal – as the demand soars so does the price. Electricity is another possibility but fuel prices often drive the cost of electricity generation so every bill can go up. And if the grid is down or there’s an outage for any reason – well forget about that. What About Solar? It’s worth considering, but it has its limits. For one, you need daylight sunshine. Second, you have to capture the heat. One way to do that is with solar tiles. They’re floor tiles you put on the floor of a room with a lot of sunlight and they absorb the heat of the sun during the day and continue to give off heat through the night. They’re expensive and they’re more in the category of a supplement to maintain heat rather than as a sole source of heat generation. Another possibility is a solar generator. Solar Generator It can power a conventional space heater, but you need to be mindful of the wattage. Even the smallest space heaters have two settings – high and low – and both draw significant wattage. A high setting typically draws 1500 watts. A low setting typically draws 750 watts. That’s a lotta watts. A gas generator is always a possibility, but if fuels for heating are dear the cost of gasoline to power a generator will spike right along with the rest of them. Assuming it’s available at all. Some primitive solutions include a panel of tubes painted or covered in black that absorb solar heat and simply heat the air and funnel it into a window by convection. It’s a primitive wilderness solution, but our ancient ancestors found many ways to engineer heating and cooling solutions that were more than a bit out-of-box. Rooftop solar water heaters and heating systems are another possibility, but as you would suspect they are a complicated and a bit expensive. This gets back to determining the duration of your needs. If you feel energy prices and the cost of home heating will never go down or have any level of reliability, maybe you need to go all-in on a permanent alternative. If you’re just worried that you won’t be able to pay your heating bills, you can consider short-term solutions that you use occasionally in addition to conservation practices. If you’re not sure but want to be prepared in the event of an emergency when you need to get through especially cold nights, you’ll want to keep it simple. Critical Success Factors for Home Heating If the temperatures are extremely cold and conventional heating sources are not working, isolate your living space to one or two rooms. This could be the kitchen and living room. If need be, suspend blankets or fabric to close off hallways or other spaces that don’t have doors. The smaller the area you have to heat the more successful you will be with improvised efforts. Some alternative heat sources need some degree of ventilation. This is especially true for kerosene heaters, portable propane heaters, or anything else that burns something to create heat. If you are burning fuels to create heat you should have a carbon monoxide detector in the room(s). There are constant news reports of people dying from carbon monoxide poisoning so don’t take any chances. Circulating heat is a challenge with most alternative heat sources. A furnace has a blower to force heated air through a system of ductwork throughout the walls, floors and ceilings of a house. Without a furnace and that forced air you’re dependent on heat simply rising to circulate air. Woodstove Fan A solution used by many people are cast iron trivets and fans that can rest on top of a fireplace insert, wood burning stove or pellet stove. They act as heat exchangers that warm up with contact and can slowly turn the attached using the rising heat to allow some degree of air circulation across a room or into other rooms. Hold onto your heat. A well insulated house will hold any heat you generate for hours but this gets back to making sure any entry or exit to a house is quick and efficient. When heat is precious, don’t waste it. Keep an eye on the weather forecasts. It’s reassuring to know when the cold weather may break. If you only have to endure a few days of temperatures below 60 degrees F indoors, you won’t feel as anxious about the days and weeks ahead. 68 to 72 degrees F is the ideal heat range, but 50 to 55 degrees F are identified as the minimum to prevent water pipes from freezing and bursting. 12 Alternative Heating Solutions Fireplace Burning Fireplace If you have a fireplace, you’re off to a good head start, but be forewarned. Fireplaces are actually very inefficient heating sources with most of the heat going up the chimney. There’s also a question of adequate firewood to keep the fire burning. If you have no other alternative or are caught by surprise, it makes sense to have a fire in the fireplace, but you can do better. Fireplace Insert A fireplace insert is a better alternative to an open fireplace, and they are easy to install because the chimney and firebox are already in place. Most are simple designs built around a metal box similar to a wood burning stove. The firebox inserts into the fireplace and vents control the drafting to manage the heat and size of the fire. Some have electrically powered fans to circulate heat into a living area. Woodstove A free standing woodstove is a very good alternative if you don’t have a fireplace or want heat in a part of the home away from a fireplace. They come in a range of sizes and prices but require the installation of a chimney through the roof. Even a small wood-burning stove can give off significant heat to keep a room or two warm. Firewood will still be a challenge if you are using any stove or fireplace for heat, but there are alternative sources you can burn from rolled up newspapers and magazines to old furniture or even logs you make from pulped paper and cardboard. Kerosene Heaters Kerosene heaters get mixed reviews but some newer models burn cleaner and give off the least amount of fumes. Regardless, every kerosene heater recommends some degree of ventilation from a window cracked open to some way to vent the fumes. It always seems like a contradiction to allow cold, outside air into a room you’re trying to heat but that’s the facts of life with kerosene heaters. Propane Heater Propane heaters are another option. Many of us have an outdoor grill powered by large propane tanks, but here again there’s an issues with fumes. Some of these also offer outside venting options, but a bigger question is the price and availability of propane gas. It’s sometimes hard to find propane during a calm and complacent summer when the demand is high. When more and more people start turning to propane as a heating fuel the prices and demand will only go up. Pellet Stoves Pellet stoves are a surprisingly effective heat source. They burn small, compressed pellets sold in large bags. A small firebox keeps the pellets burning, and the firebox is fed by a turning worm-drive that slowly delivers the pellets from a hopper to the firebox at just the right rate to maintain heat. Most require electricity to power the worm-drive, automatic ignition, and thermostat, but there are non-electric options that are gravity fed and only need to be ignited by hand at the beginning of the burn cycle. Pellet stoves can be vented through a sidewall as opposed to the roof and can heat multiple rooms although whole house heating is improbable depending on the size of the house. Space Heaters Space heaters are a common heat alternative but they require electricity to run. However, even if the power is out, you can find alternative power generation solutions with a gas powered or solar generator, but the power draw is significant. If you have power and this is your only source of heat it will get you through the worst but here again, try to isolate the spaces you heat to a room or two. Baseboard Heating Baseboard heating is often used to keep remote or particularly cold rooms warm even under normal circumstances. They also rely on electricity, but if the cost of electricity is less than natural gas, or if you are generating your own power with a solar generator or panels, they may be a good option. They also draw a lot of wattage and are sometimes better at maintaining heat, but they’re a simple solution and can be a permanent installation. Heat Pumps Heat pumps are a common fixture in southern latitudes but may be a good alternative for any location. They work like an air-conditioner in reverse, actually taking outside air and isolating warmer air for distribution into a living space. They can also cool a home. Most are connected to ductwork already installed in the house and can provide effective air circulation, assuming there is reliable electric power. The amount of heat they can generate is somewhat limited, particularly during bitterly cold days, but they can help maintain temperatures. Urgent Solutions Urgent Heating Solutions Urgent solutions can be improvised but their effectiveness is limited unless you are heating a very small space. Most feature an open flame that burns either alcohol, multiple candles, and there’s even an idea that uses a can of Crisco. All of them give off varying degrees of fumes, and the most any of them will do is keep a room above freezing. In a desperate time or if you’re caught by surprise, they’re worth considering but they are very short-term, emergency solutions. Be careful though, most have open flames so placement in a non-flammable area is critical. Electric Blankets Electric blankets and robes have been used for years, especially at night while sleeping. They’re intended to simply keep a person warm, and while they do give off a small degree of ambient heat, it’s never enough to effectively heat a room. They’re worth having on hand even if it’s just to take a break from a cold day and wrap yourself up while you wait for other heat sources to hopefully raise the temperature around you. Here again it assumes reliable electric power. Chemical Warmers Chemical hand-warmers and foot-warmers can offer some welcome relief to extremities on a very cold day. Most are designed for outdoor use slipping into gloves or socks but they can be welcome relief indoors in the morning when temperatures are usually at their coldest.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- “When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. “ John Ruskin Landgericht Halle The Halle Regional Court is a masterpiece of design. A regular court located in Halle (Saale), Germany. In Germany, an Amtsgericht (abbreviated AG) is, alongside the Landgerichte (and, less frequently, the Oberlandesgerichte), the court of first instance in the ordinary court system. The name derives from the Amte (districts), the former administrative and judicial districts of many territories in the Holy Roman Empire. The Regional Court building was constructed between 1903 and 1905. It is one of the city's most prestigious buildings, built in the typical historicist style of Wilhelmine judicial architecture. The architects of the four-winged building were the Prussian building officials Paul Thoemer, from the Prussian Ministry of Public Works in Berlin, and Karl Illert (1856–1907) in Halle. Facing Hansering, it features a broad, symmetrical facade with a central projection and corner towers, adorned with portraits of legal scholars and, along the window sills, with animals and mythical creatures. The towers reach a height of 50 meters. Stylistically, it also combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau architecture. In addition to the sandstone facade, the stairwell is particularly noteworthy, featuring a double spiral staircase within a circular domed hall approximately 20 meters in diameter and 42 meters high. The Palace of Justice underwent extensive restoration and reopened in spring 2013.

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- Schloss Ort ⚔️ Orth Castle was first mentioned in documents in 909. Its name was then found again in 1053. Initially, the castle was surrounded by a moat and another outer wall. However, after a fire in 1626, the island structure was restored to the form seen today. The castle is an irregular triangle in shape. Most of the buildings were built in the late Gothic style. The castle’s first rulers were nobles from the von Orth family, who were Styrian ministerials. The founder of the family is considered to be Hartnid von Orth, the great-grandson of the Bavarian Count Aribo II. The von Orth family owned the castle from the 10th century until 1244. The last member of the dynasty came into conflict with the overlord, was imprisoned, and deprived of his family estates. From the second half of the 13th century, the castle changed hands several times in a short period of time, until in 1483 it became the personal property of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III. This Habsburg representative transformed the island fortress into a luxurious residence, where he enjoyed spending his free time. At the end of the 16th century, the castle was purchased by the city of Gmunden. By that time, the local burghers had become very wealthy from the salt trade. However, in 1603, the castle was sold back to the Habsburg imperial domain. "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE https://youtu.be/HrxX9TBj2zY This week in 1979, the Pink Floyd single “Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #26 (December 1) "Part 2" of the three-part composition "Another Brick in the Wall", from Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera “The Wall”, written by bass player Roger Waters was released as a single, Pink Floyd's first in the UK since "Point Me at the Sky" (1968). It sold over four million copies worldwide, was nominated for a Grammy Award and was #384 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". Bass player Roger Waters wrote "Part 2" as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools, and engineer Nick Griffiths recorded children singing the verse at Islington Green School, close to Pink Floyd's studio, which was a big part of the charm of the song. In exchange for performing vocals, the children of Islington School received tickets to a Pink Floyd concert, an album, and a single. Though the school received a payment of £1,000, there was no contractual arrangement for royalties for the children, but following a change to UK copyright law in 1996, they became eligible for royalties from broadcasts. After royalties agent Peter Rowan traced the choir members, they successfully lodged a claim for royalties with the Performing Artists' Media Rights Association in 2004. The single was a worldwide hit, going to #1 in the US, the UK and 13 other countries. #anotherbrickinthewall, #pinkfloyd, #rogerwaters, #davidgilmour, #wedontneednoeducation, #70smusic, #richardwright, #nickmason, #70srock, #thisdayinrock, #rockhistory, #rockmusic, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday "Pure signal, no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

🌊 SURF 'N TURF 🏝️ -THE BORACAY ISLAND LIFE- THE DOOMSDAY DJ: TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE https://youtu.be/rblYSKz_VnI This week in 1967, The Beatles single “Hello, Goodbye” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #45 (December 2) The song written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney was the group's first release since the death of their manager, Brian Epstein. It eventually went to #1 in the US, the UK, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, France, Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. Unimpressed with the composition, Lennon pushed for "I Am the Walrus" to be the single's A-side, before reluctantly accepting that "Hello, Goodbye" was the more commercial-sounding of the two sides, relegating Lennon’s composition “I Am The Walrus” to the B-side. Lennon later said, "'Hello, Goodbye' beat out 'I Am the Walrus' ... Can you believe that?” That's another McCartney. Smells a mile away, doesn't it? An attempt to write a single. It wasn't a great piece.” There is speculation that the decision to pick “Hello, Goodbye” over “I Am The Walrus” was another step towards their breakup as rifts in the band widened… The Beatles produced three promotional films for the song, one of which was shown on The Ed Sullivan Show in America. #beatles, #thebeatles, #hellogoodbye, #iamthewalrus, #paulmccartney, #johnlennon, #ringostarr, #fabfour, #georgeharrison, #60smusic, #rockhistory, #thisdayinrock, #dailyrockhistory, #thisdayinmusic, #onthisday "Pure signal,no noise" Credits Goes to the respective Author ✍️/ Photographer📸 🐇 🕳️

On this day in 1971, in an infamous event at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland, the building burnt down during a gig by Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention, an incident later immortalised in Deep Purple's 1972 classic rock song "Smoke On The Water." Fans of the group can listen to the song (as it appears on their 1972 album "Machine Head") here. https://youtu.be/zUwEIt9ez7M The song was also released as a single.
