Avid Rock Concert Poster Collector Announces His Search For Original 1950s and 1960s The Biggest Show Of Stars Posters

(PRWEB) October 29, 2011

Andrew Hawley, of Vintage Rock Posters, announces his plans to search for original The Biggest Show Of Stars posters. During the 1950's many of the biggest acts of the day performed on the same concert bill for an evening.

According to Hawley, ?Buddy Holly performed on the Biggest Show of Stars Tour in 1957 and in 1958. These multi-act shows would travel the country by bus and would perform 50 concerts in 50 nights. It was not like today where the biggest performers will fly first class and stay in luxury hotels. Many times these performers would experience bus trouble along the way or have to travel through extreme weather conditions.?

Hawley continues, ?One of the most famous package tours of the 1950's and 1960's was called The Biggest Show Of Stars which was put on and sponsored by Irving Feld who would later become the owner of Ringling Bros. And Barnum & Bailey Circus. The Biggest Show Of Stars started in 1957 and lasted through 1967. This package tour featured the latest and greatest talent and the posters that were used to advertise their upcoming concerts were the usual 17?x22? and 22?x28? window card sized posters. Many of the posters were printed by the Globe Poster Company of Baltimore, Maryland. They featured bright and beautiful colors. The posters were flashy and featured a photograph of the artist along with the title of their latest hit song. These posters are absolutely gorgeous and feature great color combinations that really make the posters pop! Sometimes the Biggest Show Of Stars Tours would simply feature a combination of great rock-n-rollers and R&B artists and in other cases it would simply be a show of just the latest and greatest Motown artists. Feld did an incredible job of bringing his audience the best talent around and the posters that were used to advertise these show are truly gorgeous pieces to display.?

Hawley will pay $ 3,000 for original 1957 to 1967 Biggest Show Of Stars or any other multi-act package tour poster from the 1950's and 60's. Any condition is accepted. Sellers will be paid in cash within 24 hours guaranteed. For more information, go to http://www.vintageconcertposterbuyer.com..

Dancing and Bending With The Stars -- Four Seasons Resort Maui Ashtanga Yoga Retreat Set for September 10-15, 2011

Maui, Hawaii (PRWEB) July 20, 2011

Spend a minute watching Shelley Washington move through her Ashtanga Yoga practice and you will quickly come to the conclusion that she must be a professional dancer. And you will be correct.

Washington, a trained dancer, graduated from Julliard School in New York and went on to dance with the celebrated companies of Martha Graham, Twyla Tharp and the American Ballet Theater. After a successful career, she embarked on a different journey a decade ago and discovered a new passion--Ashtanga Yoga.

With heart and soul, she threw herself into the practice. A few years later she traveled to Mysore, India, for the first of many trips to be inspired by and to study with Ashtanga Master K. Pattabhi Jois. In 2005, Washington was officially certified by the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore to teach Ashtanga Yoga.

From September 10-15, 2011, she and her husband, internationally-acclaimed Ashtanga Yoga teacher, David Swenson, will bring their powerful lessons to Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. They will lead and guide students through many poses, offering practical applications and safe adjusting techniques to help build each person's practice. They are a dynamic teaching couple and are known for bringing compassion, joy and energy to the mat each day.

Swenson is recognized as one of the world's foremost practitioners and instructors of Ashtanga Yoga. He started practicing yoga at age 13 and, as a young man, was introduced to and then studied with Ashtanga Master K. Pattabhi Jois as well. He is the author of the bestselling book, Ashtanga Yoga: The Practice Manual and producer of five DVDs.

Four Seasons Resort Maui?s retreat includes five nights in luxurious accommodations; four morning and three afternoon yoga classes; daily "Talk Yoga" sessions; a hospitality lounge; a welcome reception and a final group dinner. Rates start at $ 4,500. For more information, please email: pat.makozak@fourseasons.com or call her at 1 (808) 8674 ?2939.

The Ashtanga Yoga Retreat is one of Four Seasons Resort Maui's Unforgettable Events which also includes a "Tennis Fantasy Camp" (November 16-20) with such top pros as Lindsay Davenport and Tom Gullikson and "Cycling Camp Maui" (December 3-9) led by Tour de France veteran and Canadian Olympian Ryder Hesjedal and Go Cycling Maui.
