AboutMelissa Davis Expertise I feel extremely comfortable with my ability to answer questions regarding The Beatles personally - backgrounds, family, education, and the genesis of the group from inception to the end. I do not feel that I have the expertise to answer extremely technical questions regarding equipment, other than to refer the questioner to other sources.
Experience Besides having been the right age at the right time to live through and enjoy The Beatles, I have continued my interest in them, in their music, and their influence on 20th century - in everything from the obvious, music, to fashion, humor, film, politics, and the music industry. As a dedicated Anglophile, I have studied at the University of London as an undergraduate and traveled in the UK extensively - yes, walked across Abbey Road, visited Savile Row - all of it. Beyond that, I am a teacher and a writer with excellent writing, editing, and research skills.

Question QUESTION: Ok, what was the deal with Apple studios? What happened? Was there a problem with the company that The Beatles didn't like? Didn't they buy the building?
ANSWER: Hi Ava,
I just received your question about Apple and need to understand it better so I can answer it.
You mention Apple Studios and 'the company'. What company are you asking about?
And I need to know what building you are asking about more specifically.
Please write back; I want to be certain I answer exactly the questions you have about this aspect of the Beatles' history.
Thanks,
MDavis

QUESTION: Sorry, I don't understand anything about Apple records and I probably don't know what I'm saying. Did The Beatles own Apple Records? What was the story about The Beatles and Apple?
Answer Hi,
Don't worry about it - that helps me to understand the question. It is a confusing thing and very complicated.
I will be working on your response tonight and will send it to you as soon as I'm finished.
Thanks for getting back to me to clarify the question.
