Do you know the story about how they met?

I missed a lot!

I have been to the Cellar Door, and that was back in the 70s, around the time that they are speaking of.

Apparently not. I remember my older brother buying that album. It's the first album I learned all the songs to not counting Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Our junior high school group - The Winesap Trio - did a cover of Norwegian Wood using a 12-string instead is the sitar. Oddly, Capitol Records declined to sign us. 😏

Since Mr Zuckerberg is taking us all to dimensions we never imagined this song and video seems appropriate

Not sure how well known Peggy's late husband Ewan MacColl and late daughter Kirsty are in the US.

Kirsty is probably best known for her part in "Fairytale of New York with the Pogues

Ewan wrote many things including "The first time ever I saw your face" for Peggy, "Dirty old town" about Salford probably best known by the Pogues, and wrote/sang many things like this about the herring fishermen in my area

Small world. I just read Peggy Seeger's wiki page and saw that she performed on an album that celebrates the work of Kate McGarrigle whose children and my grandchildren are distant cousins.

From Adam Gopnik's review of "Get Back" at The New Yorker:

Quote

Throughout the new documentary, Paul’s compulsive musicianship is everywhere evident, taking over even the arrangement of John’s best song, “Don’t Let Me Down.” “It should be different beat and all onto light things and cymbals,” Paul instructs Ringo, and, of the bridge, coolly reminds John: “That’s a weak bit of the song, that.” Yet how gentle the Beatles are with one another, in the pained, semi-articulate way of families! Nobody says a harsh or impatient word. John and Paul, secretly recorded talking about George after he’s quit, do not call him a prima donna but only regret that “it’s a festering wound that we’ve allowed. . . . And we didn’t give him any bandages.” Paul’s talent as a musician does dominate the sessions—but he dominates mostly by cajoling and including rather than by insisting. The now legendary sequence in which Paul, playing full chords on his bass guitar—a difficult thing to do—composes “Get Back” in less than four minutes is still perhaps a bit misunderstood. Paul does it, but he does it for the group. He starts with a keening minor-key wail, interesting in itself, then finds the familiar chord pattern of the song. But Ringo and George are the necessary audience. “It’s good. It’s . . . you know. Musically and that, it’s great,” a till-then bored-seeming George mutters—and, on his Telecaster, instantly answers with a sharp, Steve Cropper-style upstroke riff, one that might well have found a home in the finished song. Ringo starts clapping out the rhythm. Then John walks in, late, and, without saying a single word, immediately finds—as a rhythm guitarist should—the right A dominant-seventh chord on his Epiphone electric and casually starts filling out his part. It’s a movie moment, of the kind that used to happen in forties musicals, when the big band on the sleeper car suddenly finds the song. But here, it just happens. That’s a band.

Mythical singer who comes from the 60s. He managed also to conduct the Sanremo Festival with an excellent result the first time and the second time he even surpassed himself. Gianni Morandi with the unpublished song "Apri tutte le porte":https://youtu.be/Sym1JSadkys

For an always lovely listening the great voice of Tom Jones:https://youtu.be/0FlzmRuXaCA

Nothing specific but generally its artists that haven't yet boycotted Spotify (restricts me to the likes of Drake and Justin Bieber)

EDIT Correction. I do have things like CDs and Vinyl discs with grooves. I used to have cassette tapes too but they were eaten by ants. And the CD player is used so infrequently a lizard has taken up residence which causes problems with functionality, and I can't remember how to reset my old turntable to stop it skidding (whatever the term is); and the new car is so highly specced they didn't even supply a CD player

PS Can anyone here recommend a good starting album for Bad Bunny
