272: Born At The Right Time with Ray Connolly  

This British journalist/author/screenwriter/playwright is a SATB fave and was heard most recently among the 21 guests in the “Now and Then” discussion. But here he is alone in the spotlight, recounting his fabulous life as a chronicler of creators and a creator himself. Check out his website for a full accounting of his works – https://www.rayconnolly.co.uk/ – and this show for a discussion of his 2023 memoir.  Ray was friends with The Beatles and the screenwriter of THat’ll Be The Day (1973), Ringo’s finest film project. He discusses all and much more here.
