Hello all; First off, I want to apologize to anyone who’s had trouble accessing the SATB site. My tech, who built it (and if it looks a little geocities to anyone, LMK – there’ll be...
Hello all; Welcome to the second half year of the SATB Newsletter. I first want to thank everyone who has reached out with their response to episode 304, my conversation with Bob...
Hello all, I guess from the number of this newsletter it means that we’re half a year in – doesn’t feel like six months at all, but maybe that’s because fun things tend to go...
Hello folks, First off, because you are all here and appreciated for the ongoing support, I want to present something cool that I’ve shared in the past, but not in the newsletter. In 1975...
Hello all, Welcome to the SATB Newsletter, to subscribers new and legacy. Who knew this would become the year of the drummer? 2025 started strong with Ringo in Nashville with Look Up, his shows and TV...
Hello folks and welcome to Monday! (Though I acknowledge that it’s already Tuesday in some places this is being read) Not a ton of new news to report but a couple of things warrant attention...
Hello folks; Welcome to another week. I was hoping to make it two in a row without something sad to report but might as well get this out of the way now: the passing of drummer Clem Burke, best...
Hello all; Since the newsletter doesn’t aspire to serve as Grim Reaper, we’ll save the casualties for last, shall we? Instead, we go with the current Beatles-in-the-news story, RE that...

Hello all! Before getting to the fun stuff, I just wanted to make clear a couple of things RE the newsletter: first, I have sent these out every Monday since the start back in November 2024. It may be...
Hello all, We’re now in March – a month not as heavy with Beatles anniversaries as other months I can think of but with some notable ones nonetheless. One that comes to mind is the...
Hello all; I hope everyone has had a chance to take a dip into 300. I am glad to have finished it up, but I think I would’ve been fine-tuning it to death, absent a deadline, to no one’s...
Hello folks; I had hoped to have the much-touted 300th episode finished by now, but it’s still – at this hour – in progress. Fingers crossed, I am hoping to give it that final...
Greetings all; Let’s get the sad news out of the way first before moving on: first, the passing of EMI engineer John Kurlander. He began working with The Beatles while still in his teens;...
Hey there folks, Welcome to the working week. We just now passed the anniversary of the Ed Sullivan Show debut on February 9 (aligning with the 1964 calendar on a Sunday). I am thinking that the...

Hey everyone! Maybe it’s my COVID-induced dementia, but I meant to include a couple of more Ringo things in yesterday’s mailing: First, for those who can see it in real time...
Hello folks; Thanks to all of those taking the time for well-wishes. The recent COVID event was prolonged, but not as bad as it might have been. It’s behind me now and I appreciate all the...
Hello all; Turns out “a touch of flu” actually means “a case of COVID.”… But a mild one in the scheme of things (the other extreme being the Ray Connolly kind)...
Hi folks! This one will be a bit brief, as I am battling a touch of flu at the moment, but I wanted to get something out to you as soon as I could. Normally, a new show would’ve dropped by now...
Happy January, folks! Thanks to all the new sign-ups, and by all means, hip your Beatle pals if they aren’t already. The “why?” is easy – I really enjoy sharing with...
Hello folks – trust you all (who celebrate) had a Fab Christmas! We’re reaching the end of a pretty terrific year for new product, in the form of books, docs and reissues, as well as...
Greetings, Fab listeners! I am feverishly working to complete two shows to close out the year. Why two? Because one is certain not to be everyone’s idea of pleasant listening, and so as not to...
Happy holidays, esteemed listeners! ‘Tis the season, and while I rushed out the last podcast episode on Beatles ’64 to get it before you while interest in the doc was high, the follow-up...
Hey Folks, I normally wouldn’t send out something again so quickly, but: I expect to be busy tomorrow, and while the thought is in my head, I wanted to get this out… December 12...

Hey there folks! This one will be necessarily brief, as I was up very late (and with a cold), cutting the new show which should’ve appeared in your feed by now. For the sake of timeliness, I...
