Hey there folks!
Hello everyone!
Thanks to all who are continuing to sign up for this newsletter – as always, the old ones are available upon request (Subject line: old newsletters).
I had mentioned that I had an upcoming conversation with May Pang on the schedule. We convened and what might have been the 90 minute norm ended up as 3 hours + – you have no idea of how quickly the time flew and how many topics we addressed. May is an absolute treasure and I am certain you all will really enjoy this one. Not all we talked about is for public consumption, but I can tell you that we have agreed to get together again sometime in the new year.
I had hoped to have the next podcast episode well underway by this time, but it’ll be a little delayed. My author proof of the new book arrived and required the usual level of scrutiny to make sure all is in shape before it gets unleashed into the world. These things are never perfect and I’m sure there will be plenty to beat myself up over once it’s out, but rest assured that Jerry Hammack and I worked really hard on presenting something fresh and interesting on The Fabs and that those so inclined will find it a rewarding read. It’s coming soon!
There’s also been some discussion on upcoming shows, and plans for what will be coming in the new year. Your suggestions are of course always welcome, and there absolutely is never a shortage of interesting topics to dive into. I’m really looking forward to some of the new guests that will be coming, as well as some previous guests that are a lot of fun coming back as well.
Lots of new books have either just arrived or are coming soon. I did read the Elliot Mintz one (though he twice declined an invite to come on – do the math!), and I am hoping to get to the latest Kozinn/Sinclair volume as well. The first volume was absolutely brilliant but we never got to talk about it, as he felt volume 2’s arrival was imminent and we’d cover them both, in some form. There’s also that terrific book on George by Seth Rogovoy to look forward to, so hopefully we have that discussion soon.
This week of course marks that awful anniversary that we have talked about on the show more than some of you are comfortable with, but I am hoping we can stand one more. For those who find it hard listening, I promise to have something more upbeat on deck as an alternative choice. But here’s something I shared Sunday on the SATB FB page, for anyone who missed it or hasn’t seen it: the ABC broadcast of the One To One show, as it aired on December 14, 1972 on In Concert (minus Sha Na Na, Roberta Flack and Stevie Wonder’s songs). Consider it a highlights reel: https://tinyurl.com/bde3s95u
If you’ve already seen it, there’s always another installment of the Chronology series to lose yourself in for five hours: https://tinyurl.com/bdfr3zub
One last thing: we had our drawing and there were four lucky winners of the Beatles ’64 Mono Vinyl sets. I’ll share pics when each winner sends them in.
