In 1979, he became a contributor to the fledgling Beatlefan Magazine, first as New York correspondent and as Executive Editor since the early ‘80s. Sort of a jack-of-all-trades for the magazine, he’s contributed news stories, commentaries and, in more recent years, historical perspectives. That led to his first book, Changin’ Times: 101 Days That Shaped a Generation, a look at the transformative period from Nov. 22, 1963 through March 1, 1964, available as an ebook at Amazon. As well, Sussman worked in the retail record business in the ‘70s and ‘80s, has participated in various capacities for Beatlefest/The Fest For Beatles Fans from its beginnings in 1974, and was a radio analyst at ASCAP from 1991 to 2006.

And yet, many of these works focus on their history with little regard to how they experienced their own times. The artistic entity comprised of John #Lennon , Paul #McCartney , George #Harrison , and Ringo #Starr , along with producer George Martin, did not operate in a bubble: they were inspired and challenged by the sounds going on around them. Ribbons of Rust: The Beatles' Recording History In Context presents their story like never before, interactively immersing you in the sounds of the music they listened to and created along with the times they inhabited.

From Jackie's website BeatleGuide.com: "Hello, hello....I qualified as a Liverpool Tourist Guide & Official Beatlesguide in 1995 after two years intensive training. I am a Member of the Institute of Tourist Guiding (ITG) and have the highest credentials possible, BUT more importantly, I'm Liverpool born & bred, love my City, and love The Beatles as much as you do! There's a place, where you can go..... That place is Liverpool, England. Birthplace of The Beatles. My name is Jackie, I've been offering top quality guided tours in my fabulous city since 1995. I've been a professionally qualified Blue Badge guide since then and loved every minute. If you're an avid Beatles fan planning the trip of a lifetime, then read on to see why my premium chauffeur driven tours are the toppermost of the poppermost - satisfaction guaranteed!! There are now many choices for Liverpool tours, so I decided to step things up a notch from my original taxi tours and now operate Bespoke Beatles Tours in luxury executive vehicles, usually top of the range Mercedes . I don't do the driving - I have lovely chauffeurs to do that so you have my full concentration. These tours really are the very best you can take, but I also offer walking tours, and fun days out on a double decker bus! I have been recognised as a Beatles expert (to me I'm just a fan), and was chosen to work with Cirque Du Soleil when they researched the ‘Love’ show. I've also worked with many VIP’s and celebrities, advised film & television companies including MTV & VH1 and have appeared in several Beatles documentaries. Most recently has been the upcoming Stars North production, "Pre:Fab', the life of Colin Hanton. I also collaborated with the wonderful Lush Spa as they created a Beatles themed treatment. I can be heard regularly on Sirius Radio Beatles Channel talking about Liverpool Beatle Locations and was delighted when the producers of Carpool Karaoke featured my tweet on the most successful Paul McCartney edition. I'd love to think Paul OK'd that! I regularly step-on the coaches of respected tour operators such as Contiki, Trafalgar and Insight Vacations - they only recognise professional Blue Badge Guides and can arrange entertaining itineraries for groups & tour operators ranging from 2 hours to 2 weeks using my previous travel agency experience. I'm terribly proud to have been featured in the Rick Steves guide books for many years. MOST IMPORTANTLY......I love the Beatles as much as you do and am filled with pride for the wonderful town where WE were born (same hospital as Paul McCartney). I share their outlook, their optimism, their Scouse accent and their typical irreverent senser yumer (think about it!). I'd love to share OUR city with you. So if you’re an avid Beatles fan planning a pilgrimage to Liverpool, read on to see why my award winning tours are "toppermost of the poppermost!". You've waited this long and are travelling this far...why not do it in style?

But he was and is so much more, and it took the sudden death of a dear friend and the encouragement of a legendary singer/songwriter to prove it to him. From a broken home in Amarillo, Texas to a multi-award-winning recording artist, Jim Wilson’s journey is a captivating tale of showbiz glamour, personal tragedy, self-discovery, and dogged determination. Tuned-In: Memoirs of a Piano Man is a page-turner and a life-changer. It’s a self-help book in the form of an autobiography. It is entertaining, revealing and full of lessons for musicians, fans, and all readers. Jim’s life direction was set when he was given a guitar at age 7, then began composing songs at age 9. Soon after moving from West Texas to LA in his early 20’s, he gained a reputation as a respected piano technician, catering to the highest echelon of the music industry. Jim helped develop the first MIDI-adapter for acoustic piano in the 80’s, which became an instant hit with artists and studios around the world.

When, a couple years later, he saw Missouri bluegrass group The Dillards in an Orange County club, John’s life then headed towards his new dream: “be a traveling music man”. Leaving his Garden Grove spawning ground, his dream became more of a reality than imagined it could be! Multi-instrumentalist McEuen (banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle) has been recognized as a founding member and award-winning outstanding performer of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

It is all covered in his book The Life I’ve Picked on Chicago Review Press, published April, 2018. In 1971 John initiated the now landmark Will the Circle be Unbroken* album, hooking Nitty Gritty Dirt Band up with his musical mentors Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson simply by asking them in Colorado (brother Bill then asked Merle Travis, and it started growing) to record; it grew to inviting Mother Maybelle Carter, Jimmy Martin, Roy Acuff, ‘Bashful’ Brother Oswald, Merle Travis, Vassar Clements, and Junior Huskey, for 5 magic hot August days of recording. The now multi-platinum “Circle” is in both the Library of Congress and the Grammy Hall of Fame. * “One of the most important records to come out of Nashville…” Chet Flippo Rolling Stone He closed ep. 6 (called Will the Circle be Unbroken) of PBS’a Ken Burns Country Music, appearing in 3 other episodes.

Send us a text TeaFlix Interview with Roger Earl from Foghat Hosted by Dr. Angie McCartney & Ruth McCartney Join Angie and Ruth #McCartney at https://fb.com/DrAngieMcCartney AT A SPECIAL TIME OF NOON PACIFIC THIS WEEK ONLY as they get founding member and drummer of #FOGHAT to #spillthetea about this legendary band's 5+ decade career, and their latest #BillboardChart smash contemporary blues hit #SonicMojo which is Grammy® eligible for 2025! Foghat continues to captivate fans of all ages with their timeless music. The band is still touring relentlessly, performing with an energy that radiates youthful exuberance, regardless of age. Founding member and drummer Roger Earl reflects on their enduring appeal: “We had a terrific time making this record. Six original tracks and six of some of our favorite songs by other artists. It’s interesting to note that our first album in 1972 featured a Willie Dixon song, ‘I Just Want to Make Love to You,’ and a Chuck Berry song, ‘Maybellene.’ This record includes songs from both of these legendary writers! Apparently, our musical tastes haven’t changed much!” Their latest album, "Sonic Mojo," released on November 10, 2023, holds special meaning for Earl. Three tracks were co-written with Kim Simmonds, who gave Earl his first break in 1967 as a member of Savoy Brown. Tragically, Simmonds passed away shortly after writing these songs. The album has been incredibly well-received by fans and critics alike, serving as a fitting tribute to a band that has stood the test of time for over 50 years.

Send us a text TeaFlix Interview with Filmmakers Christopher Henze, Dominique Debroux and Jonathan Sanger Hosted by Dr. Angie McCartney & Ruth McCartney Filmmakers Christopher Henze, Dominique Debroux and Oscar® winning producer Jonathan Sanger ("Elephant Man, Vanilla Sky, Frances and more) when they'll discuss their new documentary "WISE WOMEN" and how it reveals the mystery of menopause and the importance of women in our society. The subject of menopause, once sidelined to the realms of whispers and shame has recently been elevated into the mainstream by personalities like Oprah, Michelle Obama, Halle Berry, Naomi Watts and Gwyneth Paltrow. They, along with many others, are aware of the giant void of quality information about this incredibly confusing and important time. A new documentary takes a fresh look at early human development and finds a new interpretation to menopause that results in The Wise Woman Hypothesis. One conclusion is that, for early humans, conditions favored groups who excelled in the complexity of family and group social management. and had a greater influence of mature post-reproductive females in that management. When the filmmaker’s Co-producer and wife started going into perimenopause, beyond the physical symptoms of hot flashes, body changes, sleep issues, and brain fog, she felt a dread that much in her life was over. She initially researched supplements, HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) or treatments that might help her feel better. But none of those things would solve the general societal message that her usefulness was largely done. This new documentary, Wise Women, dives into something fundamental that will change evolutionary science and elevate our understanding of how we became modern humans. It answers why menopause exists and shows evolutionary proof that women, especially mature women, are best equipped to run the world. It connects the dots of how mastering fire and cooking changed the trajectory of early hominins from other primates, and how the adaptation of menopause supercharged that trajectory. Currently the most heralded answer to the existence of menopause in humans is the Grandmother Hypothesis which looks at the effect of post-menopausal woman on birth-frequency, infant brain development and other notable ideas. “We see the Grandmother Hypothesis as a reinforcing concept, rather than an initiating one.” Says director Christopher Henze. “We ask, how did our brains get to be large enough to even make use of the beneficial effects of grandmothers?” Menopause first affected our evolution then allowing “grandmothering” to accelerate it. Additionally, Crone – The Wise Woman Hypothesis shows that, because post-menopausal women were so important to our survival and development, they were venerated. Most pre-historic art that has been found depicts women.
