  1. Always a good day when there’s a new episode of SATB to listen to. 🙂 LOVED this so much, and eagerly await the next installment with Thomas.

  2. Sorry but Lennon was a fantastic melodist.

    I have to agree with Dr Brothers about Hey Jude though. As many zillions of times as I’ve heard it it’s still a transcendent listening experience. …until the coda. 🙂 I think that one of the main reasons it stays so fresh is because of the relative rawness of the performance.

    It’s good to have you back!

  3. Good show, nice to hear Coltrane and Bubber Miley mentions alongside “Shimmy Like Kate”

    Jimi Hendrix never went to art school!
