400 million people tuned it to see The Beatles sing “All You Need Is Love.” It is an event that has become known today as “Beatles Day!”

Hello Retro Radio!

Apologies for the late posting, but I wanted to let you know that I will not be hosting this week’s show tomorrow. I will be back next week to finish out June and to help you kick off the morning surf!

“They say it’s his Birthday…”

in 1942, Sir James Paul McCartney was born in Liverpool. From his days as one of the Fab Four, to spreading his Wings across the world, to becoming the legendary artist and musician that he is we just can’t get enough of the Beatles and Paul McCartney.

To celebrate his birthday today I want to share a little something from his time with Wings. In August 1974, Paul McCartney wanted to record a live album that featured newest members Jimmy McCulloch (guitar) and Geoff Britton (drums). What resulted from those sessions eventually became known as the “One Hand Clapping” sessions which saw a full release in 2024 featuring the album, a separate 7” EP of “Backyard Sessions” behind Abbey Road and a full documentary film 50 years later!

Take a listen to the live studio version of “Band On The Run” and tell me what you think. Happy Birthday, Paul! ♥️

in the year 2000, Disney’s “Fantasia 2000” was released in theaters in the United States.

It was the sequel to the original “Fantasia” film from 1940, and like its predecessor it featured beautiful and spectacular animated scenes set to classical music performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and conducted by James Levine. Each scene was introduced by celebrities such as James Earl Jones, Angela Lansbury, Quincy Jones, Steve Martin and more!

The most famous segment being, of course, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” was the only piece to be featured in both the original and sequel films. It tells the story of Mickey Mouse as a magical apprentice under sorcerer Yen Sid and his attempt to use his master’s magical tricks before being able to control them.

What was your favorite segment from each film?
