Off the Beatles Track

This week’s show will concern itself with the bits one rarely hears by that band one constantly hears, the Beatles. For the historically inclined, there will be bits that contain the absolute Best drumming, er Peter Best’s drumming on record, before he was replaced with Ringo Starr.

094R Steely Dan II

The second and final part of our Steely Dan history, covering Goucho, the breakup and the solo activities that followed, and the final reunion.  A more varied selection than part 1, but more interesting for that.

Steely Dan, part 2

To tie in with the only Coronation of a British monarch that most of us can remember, our subject was Kings with a side serving of royalty and a couple of cheeky Charlies.
