Consider this one a “new phase” SATB show – the first to feature a
guest host: Tom Frangione. You may know him from his writings in
Beatlefan magazine – his role twice annually at The Fest
for Beatles Fans, or as one of the three hosts heard on the Sirius
XM Beatles channel program, Fab Fourum.
His guests on this episode are JEM Records’
president Marty Scott; veteran musician Glen Burtnik
(Beatlemania, Styx, The Orchestra) of The Weeklings, and
Kurt Reil (The Gripweeds). They discuss the process of putting this
collection together, including song selection as well as the
process of arranging such familiar material into something
fresh.
