YOU CAN TALK TO ME - A Beatles Podcast

Charles F. Rosenay does not fit inside a single box, and his energy and passion for all he does is truly infectious. His love for The Beatles set him on path that opened up a world of opportunities and experiences that most of us could only dream of. He was at the forefront of Beatles Conventions and Festivals coordination in the 1970's within the U.S., the founder and driving force behind the now iconic 'Good Day Sunshine' fanzine, and author of 'The Book of Top 10 Beatles Lists'. Since 1983 he has been at the centre of the annual 'Magical History Tour', a curated Beatles journey through London and Liverpool. Across the years he has had moments with Paul, George, Ringo, Cynthia Lennon and Yoko. Charles is a singluar character in the world of Beatles fandom and I know you're going to love getting a peek into his world and his stories.

Sam Jobber's exceptional musical and vocal talents are on full display at his Instagram page (where I first discovered his work), link below. His musical and vocal insights into The Beatles catalogue is simply in a class all his own. I'd highly recommed firstly checking out his work before tuning into this episode in order to fully appreciate his thoughts here.
Sam is of a generation far from the time of the Fab Four but his talents, passion, and love for the body of work they have left behind, keeps the music in good hands as yet another gateway of discovery for the world's greatest band.

'The Beatle Who Vanished' is one of the finest Beatles books to enter the world. It's author, Jim Berkenstadt, is my guest for Ep:35. Better known perhaps as The Rock And Roll Detective, Jim has served as consultant on projects such as Martin Scorsese's, 'George Harrison: Living In The Material World' and Peter Jackson's, 'Get Back', these being only a few of his impressive credits. A link below to Jim's world and output is worthy of your own investigation.

Jimmie Nicol, the subject behind 'The Beatle Who Vanished', was, for a very brief window of time, the man behind the kit, filling in for Ringo as the band commenced its first world tour. He had remained something of a mystery, a footnote in the story of the Fab Four, that was until Jim Berkenstadt brought his story alive. This subject informs most of our conversation.

You're going to enjoy getting to know Jim and discovering some of his wonderful work and insights.

Her latest work in the series (at the time of this episode) is 'Some Forever | Shades of Life Part Two (Volume 5.1)', moving through the late end of 1965 into the early period of 1966.

I have long been aware of Jude and her work, so sitting and speaking here was a real highlight for me in the series. I hope you get as much out of listening to her insights, her process, as I most certainly did.
Let's get talking with Jude Southerland Kessler.
