| Beatles sand sculpture slowly taking shape at the State Fair Posted: 27 Aug 2010 03:38 PM PDT Geddes (WSYR-TV) - The Beatles are taking center stage this year at the New York State Fair. A sand sculpture in their honor is taking shape throughout the Fair inside the Center of Progress Building. Two sculptors, Alan Matsumoto and Dave Henderson, are working with 180 tons of sand. Sculptor Alan Matsumoto event the artists aren't certain what the end product will be. "To tell the truth, we don't know what it'll look like," he said. "We're winging it - making it up as we go along." The only thing that is certain is that the sculpture will include the faces of all four Beatles, and that the project will take the sculptors many hours to complete. So far, the Beatles' starburst and the yellow submarine are two very distinctive clues about this year's sand sculpture. "It's great," said visitor Suzanne Brooks. "I love the theme this year." This year, the Fair staff installed webcams so that people at home can watch the sculpture take shape. "They installed these cameras up there, so we're really going to have to watch what we do," said Matsumoto. There is also a day-long Beatles tribute planned for next Tuesday, with Beatles karaoke and a trivia contest plus a performance by a respected tribute band, "1964."

"Then they started to really grow up: simple love lyrics to adult stories... and on to bigger ideas than you would expect to find in catchy pop lyrics." "Yesterday," McCartney's 1965 track that once had a work title of "Scrambled Eggs" while the lyrics were written, came in fourth and "In My Life," released on the album "Rubber Soul," placed fifth.
