The second of two shows we've done this week on the Paul McCartney Bowery Ballroom shows, which were at a much tinier venue than the type McCartney usually plays. Here, Bob Gannon, who also attended the Wednesday Feb. 12th show, gives details on the Bowery Ballroom show he attended, but also discusses other McCartney shows around the world he's seen. Have a listen and enjoy the show. Send comments to beatlesnewsbriefs@gmail.com.

On this episode, we welcome Don Dannemann of The Cyrkle, the group whose Top 20 hits "Red Rubber Ball" (written by Paul Simon) and "Turn-Down Day" were familiar to AM audiences during 1966. But The Cyrkle's history also includes a huge Beatles connection, since they were managed by Brian Epstein and also went on tour with The Beatles in the U.S. He'll talk about all that and their current doings (which include a new album). Thanks for listening!
