Lonnie and I chat about the CBS version of "Ringo and Friends at the Ryman" which aired on Monday, March 10, 2025. Jack White, Sheryl Crow, and even Larkin Poe honor the man, the music, the COUNTRY legend that is Ringo Starr.

Marv and I sit down to talk the first disc of the new 2024 edition of the Internet favorite "Spot the Looney". Ever wondered where you could find those rarities George Harrison played on that are not readily available from Apple (records or Music)? Try this box. Harry, Derek and the Dominoes, the Remo Four, the Silkie, Bobby Whitlock, Ashton Gardner & Dyke and MORE can be found on just the first disc of this set Nine more to come, but don't worry, they will be spread out over the next year or maybe more!

Kit O'Toole and I are honored to speak with Sally Martin Katz, the Photo Curator for the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco as Paul McCartney's "Eyes of the Storm" photo exhibition comes to the deYoung museum in the Bay Area. We talk about the exhibition, the photos, and the role photography and photographers weave around the life story of Paul McCartney.

What ties Studio Two, the Casbah Coffee Club, the Bahamas, Rishikesh, and an airplane returning to London with the Beatles? George Harrison's birthday! After the news (where Kit once again drops in her mellifluous tones), we consider the changes in George and the Beatles as he moved from his nineteenth birthday to his twenty-second.

Sam Whiles joins for some chat about "Back To The Egg", but primarily one of the few interviews Paul did for "Back to the Egg". James McCartney was not quite two years old, Wings was settling into the outfit that would become the final iteration, and Paul was toying around with tunes that would become "McCartney II". Also found in this episode is news that is slightly out of date (will that matter in a year, month or even a week?)

Marv and I sit down with Kenyon Rosewall of the "Note by Note" podcast. We each compile some of our "key" Beatles songs written during the Beatles "first act". Before there was "Help!" or "Rain", there was "Do You Want to Know a Secret", "No Reply", and even a couple of Elvis-inspired three-chord raveups!

2022. Sir Paul McCartney was recovering from the passing of Linda, preparing for a tour backing his "Driving Rain" album, and celebrating fifty years of Queen Elizabeth II. The BBC gathered together a number of interesting and important figures (including Astrid Kirchherr, Jurgen Vollmer, Arthur Kelly and Kermit the Frog?) in advance of his appearance at the Jubilee (and a little thing at Castle Leslie in Glaslough, Ireland). Lonnie and I look back and discuss the documentary and how well it tells (at least some of) Paul's story.

The past is gone, but something might be found to take it's place. However, sometimes, the past is only a few weeks ago. Ethan Alexanian joins Martin and I to review "Beatles '64" - the good, the bad, and the questionable.
