In addition to RINGO, JIM McCARTNEY, Paul's Dad was born on this day in 1902. As a tribute to his Dad, Paul recorded this song that Jim wrote in Nashville with WINGS under the pseudonym THE COUNTRY HAMS, with special guest musicians CHET ATKINS and FLOYD CRAMER. A really nice instrumental! Happy birthday JIm!!!

Whilst Paul McCartney and Wings were recording in Nashville in June and July 1974 the two tracks found on this single were recorded. Paul and Chet were chatt...

Continuing RINGO STARR's birthday celebration (turning 84 on July 7,) multi-talented and successful songwriter, and musician on RINGO's albums GARY BURR joins my channel to pick 10 DEEP TRACKS from RINGO's SOLO-CAREER (anything but the hits!!!) that he feels represent some of RINGO's best work.
GARY has just written his first book, a fantasy novel "REUNION-A ROCK N' ROLL FAIRYTALE" imagining if all 4 BEATLES were alive that they would consider doing one concert together after LINDA McCARTNEY passed away. He discusses this book at the start of our conversation!
GARY will also be performing July 7 & 8 at THE CUTTING ROOM in NYC. July 7 he will be part of the LAUREL CANYON BAND (with MARK HUDSON,) and July 8 in a songwriters' showcase "NASHVILLE TO NEW YORK."
Watch this video, and let me know what you think of Gary's picks, and the interesting stories he tells about working with RINGO!!!
Also catch my interview with RINGO's Co-Producer, Co-Writer and musician on his albums, BRUCE SUGAR on my channel!
Thanks for this delightful conversation, GARY BURR, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RINGO!!!

In celebration of RINGO STARR's 84th birthday (July 7,) his
Co-Producer/Songwriter/Musician BRUCE SUGAR joins me on my YOU TUBE channel KEN MICHAELS RADIO to pick 10 DEEP TRACKS from RINGO'S SOLO-CAREER that are favorites of his that he feels deserve more recognition and appreciation. This is part of my feature "THE DEEPER YOU GO."

Bruce has worked with RINGO since his "RINGO RAMA" album, and has co-produced Ringo's albums and EPS since 2010's "Y Not." He also appeared recently on my podcast THINGS WE SAID TODAY with Allan Kozinn and Darren DeVivo (Show #399) when Ringo's "REWIND FOR FORWARD" EP was released, and in 2017 for an interview discussing his work with Ringo which you can find on my website (.com) on Interviews Page 4. Be sure to play along with a RINGO TRIVIA QUESTION on the website where you can win one of 10 BEATLES prizes!

Thank you Bruce for sharing these songs with us. More Ringo specials coming for his birthday on KEN MICHAELS RADIO! Thanks to all my subscribers! AND PLEASE SHARE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6WXqzyYvdA&t=3s

Just want to send a big THANK YOU to everyone for their birthday wishes! I can't believe I received so many birthday messages, and it means so much to me to be appreciated like this. Thanks for all the BEATLES photos and the avatars of yourselves (so clever how they could do that!) I'm trying to write back to all of you!!!

I enjoyed my birthday weekend by seeing ROGER DALTREY in concert at Tanglewood with the family. While I've only been to one WHO concert, this was my first time seing him solo, and it was everything I hoped it would be--a good balance of WHO songs and his solo-material, plus tributes to JOHN FOGERTY (his favorite rock singer) and PAUL SIMON (what a surprise--he did "Boy In The Bubble"!) He also thanked Paul, who apparently gave an interview to a radio station in Detroit in 1966 requesting a WHO song, which gave them early exposure in a big market here. Best of all, Roger's voice was as strong as ever for a 2-hour concert! He really works at it, and he was in great spirits. Couldn't have asked for a better show, and would definitely recommend seeing him. He's 80, and he's still got it! (I might be sending a few photos of the concert soon!)

I haven't come back to earth yet after this weekend, but thanks to all of you for making it all so special and memorable!
