Last year – upon the 50th anniversary of the release of The Beatles; that eponymous double album issued as the group’s Apple debut – a symposium was convened at Monmouth University in New Jersey, as many of you know. An ad hoc band performed some tunes from the record as the accompaniment to a discussion convened for the podcast featuring Jack Petruzzelli, multi-instrumentalist/producer/recording artist best known for his membership in the Fab Faux. His insights as a musician who has performed these very songs live many times helps us understand what the Beatles were going for in their unique approach to recording this particular project, a philosophy that spilled over into their next project.
Thanks to Jack – Vinnie Zummo (heard in the Monmouth segment) – Marc Pepin – Marc Muller – Dan Eisenberg – Joe Rapolla – Kenneth Womack.

But is John on ANY of George’s songs on the White Album?
He apparently contributed some of the animal noises on “Piggies.” Some assert that John contributed tremolo guitar to WMGGW but other sources deny this. He is definitely not on “Savoy Truffle” and “Long Long Long.”

Fantastic. Thank you.

My goodness, the rambling about how good the Beatles were. But a lack of critical analysis on the how they disseminated blues, jazz, rock, country, experimental, R&B and constructed the White Album. It’s too bad you guys spent so much time praising the Beatles but didn’t say much at the same time.
