Lonnie and Jon get their turn at speculating on the covers that might've been, and we all get to flip our records for side two! We also talk about the news of the day, and editorialize (and reminisce) a bit about the Ed Sullivan Theater! Not quite from CBS Studio 50, but definitely from somewhere over the rainbow, more Gab Four!

Lonnie, Jon Stone, Marv and I together again for another Gab Four! After a somewhat lengthy news segment, we start in on our next topic - "12 covers the Beatles Should (and Could) have done!" We also discuss where these versions might have been released. More singles? More B-sides? Maybe an album somewhere along the way? We start today, with much more coming next week! #MadeonZencastr

Our super-chat with The Ajjancy and Fernando Perdomo continues. More on covering Beatles songs, Fernando's "Brush With Beatles-doc greatness", and Marv and I consider a number of different covers of "All My Loving", and how they fit in with many of he things we've discussed through out chat! #madeonzencaster

Start this at 11:45 AM, and celebrate Peace and Love with Ringo Starr on July 7, 2025. Happy 85th Birthday!

Marv and I have three special guests to discuss the business of discussing Beatles songs. The ajjancy has just released his cover of "Blackbird", which features Fernando ("RAM ON tribute") Perdomo, and Laurence ("needs no introduction") Juber. Some diversions, some music theory and plenty of chat on reharmonization, simplification and some of the different ways to cover the Beatles and solo Beatles songs. #madeonzencastr.

Marv and I are joined by Luca Perasi, as we discuss one of his latest books, "Press to Play: That Unmistakable 80s Sound." We talk about his book, the album, the single "Spies Like Us" and many other things going on in McCartney land, post Broad Street, and before things moved toward "Flowers in the Dirt" and the eighties run!

In honor of Paul's Birthday, Marv and I look at Paul with others. Sometimes it was at a big event, sometimes it was at a McCartney show with the McCartney band, and sometimes in the shows of folks like Bruce, Neil or the Foo's. #madeonzencastr

In honor of Brian Wilson's posting, a bonus episode. Queen of All Beatles Media Kit O'Toole joins Marv and myself as we honor and remember two musical giants, on the occasion of the anniversary of Brian Wilson's birth. A bit off topic, but there is plenty of Beatles content, and there is no question the Beatles as we know them would've been very different without Brian Wilson and the Beach boys spurring them through the mid-sixties.
