GONE VIRAL 550,000 LIKES / 15,000 COMMENTS / 100,000 SHARES Posted to The Church Studio Facebook wall: A group of high school kids skipped class in 1964 to go see the Beatles. They didn’t get into the concert but while they were driving, Ringo pulled up beside them and snapped a photo. When they told their friends, no one believed them. 50 years later, Ringo publishes his book of photos and they were in it! The “kids” reenacted the shot!

What is the difference between vinyl and digital? Can the average person hear the difference between an analog record and an mp3 streaming from Spotify? Those are some of the questions we hope to answer in this episode of The Listening Leaf. We sat down with five average music listeners of varying levels of knowledge about high fidelity music, and we put it to the test with a blind vinyl vs digital sound comparison.
The Listening Leaf is a YouTube series by The Church Studio that focuses on educating the public on great music and great sound.
Guests: Travis Bond, Shanice Carlson, Austin Wright, Sarah Robin, Zion Foley

Retirement looks good on Leon Thompson and his wife Katherine – for the past six years they’ve turned their hobby of smoking meat into a hopping little restaurant serving mouthwatering barbecue at 6th & Sheridan. The demand is overwhelming. Leon is adding a second location with an extraordinary view of The Church Studio, and with a name like “Leon’s” it destined for greatness. Leon says, “There are no shortcuts to doing it right. Leon’s BBQ is fueled by nothing but pecan wood and passion.”
