A sold-out arena, a humanitarian crisis, a reluctant Bob Dylan, and a rock star who decides the world can't wait. We kick off with George Harrison's August 1, 1971 Concert for Bangladesh at Madison Square Garden and dig into why it matters beyond the legend: the scale, the lineup, the nerves, and the performances that still hit hard decades later. From Ravi Shankar's role in sparking the idea to Harrison stepping back into the spotlight after years away, we trace how a friendship turns into one of the most important moments in benefit concert history.From there we time-travel 10 yearslater to August 1, 1981 and the launch of MTV Music Television, from “Video Killed the Radio Star” to the early rotation that helped shape the second British invasion. We keep the nostalgia going with a quick love letter to R.E.M.'s Life's Rich Pageant, a “Jessie's Girl” origin story, and fresh concert memories that compare a chill John Mellencamp crowd with the roar of Rush returning to Madison Square Garden.

British blues guitarist, singer-songwriter and Blues Hall of Fame inductee Will Johns has just released his sixth studio album, On Top of the World, and this September he'll publish his deeply personal memoir, Bluesdaddy: Born into Noise, Raised on Chaos and Saved by the Blues. The title says it all. Will was born into one of rock music's most legendary families. He's the son of famed producer and engineer Andy Johns, whose work can be heard on classic albums by Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. His uncle is legendary producer and engineer Glyn Johns. His mother is Paula Boyd, making him the nephew of Pattie Boyd and Jenny Boyd. That also meant that George Harrison, Eric Clapton and even Mick Fleetwood were family. In fact, Eric wasn't just one of the greatest guitarists in history—he was Uncle Eric, and the man who inspired Will to play guitar. But Bluedayddy isn't a story about celebrity. It's a story about growing up surrounded by brilliance and addiction, fame and dysfunction, and ultimately finding salvation through the blues. Today, Will has built an impressive legacy of his own. He's been nominated for Best Original Blues Song at the British Blues Awards three years in a row, was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in Chicago in 2025, is currently touring with The Cream of Clapton Band, and this September he'll also perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival in Texas. In our conversation, we talk about what it was really like growing up inside one of rock's most famous families and finding his own voice as an artist.

The Phil Kubicki Story - From Fender To Factor Bass

On today's episode of Ask Zac, we are diving deep into the life, career, and brilliant innovations of one of the most important former Fender employees and guitar builders in history: Phil Kubicki.While many modern bass players know him for his radical, headless Factor Bass from the 1985 era, Kubicki's impact on the guitar world started decades earlier. We track his journey from building classical guitars at age 15 to walking into the Fender factory in January 1964, where he was hand-picked to help launch their new acoustic division.From there, Phil moved into Fender's R&D department, where he had his hands on some of the company's most iconic historic releases, including the Telecaster Thinline, the Starcaster, the three-bolt neck micro-tilt system, and Fender's high-end archtops like the LTD and Montego. Most famously, Phil is the man who hand-built the legendary All-Rosewood Telecaster used by George Harrison on the Apple Corps rooftop concert.We'll also look at his post-Fender years in Santa Barbara, his fascinating early partnership with Seymour Duncan (the short-lived K&D Guitars), and look at some incredibly rare Kubicki instruments and parts up close—including a very unique short-scale travel guitar and my own personal 1982 Kubicki Telecaster body with a great country music pedigree.TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Introduction to an Unsung Innovator: Phil Kubicki1:59 - From Classical Guitars to the 1964 Fender Factory Tour4:05 - The Fender R&D Era: Thinline, Starcaster, and Archtops5:27 - Hand-Building George Harrison's Iconic Rosewood Telecaster6:02 - Leaving CBS Fender & The Seymour Duncan Connection (K&D Guitars)7:32 - Gear Deep Dive: My Personal 1982 Custom Kubicki Tele Body9:06 - High-Stakes Luthiery: Routing Albert Lee's B-Bender10:33 - The Rare Kubicki "Vintage Guitars" Tele Prototype12:02 - Demo: The Early 80s Kubicki "Arrow" Short-Scale Travel Guitar15:07 - John Fogerty's Famous "Centerfield" Baseball Bat Guitar16:26 - The 1985 Factor Bass, Later Years, and Phil's LegacyGEAR FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO:1982 Custom Phil Kubicki Telecaster Body (Swamp Ash, Single Bound)Early 1980s Phil Kubicki "Arrow" Mini Guitar (Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Pickup)Rare Kubicki "Vintage Guitars" Contoured Telecaster Prototypewww.truetone.comSUPPORT THE CHANNEL:Pick up an Ask Zac T-Shirt or Coffee Mug: https://ask-zac-shop.fourthwall.comJoin the Patreon Community: Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZac Tip Jar: https://paypal.me/AskZac                     Venmo @AskZac#PhilKubicki #FenderHistory #AskZac #GuitarHistory #GeorgeHarrison #SeymourDuncan #CustomGuitars #VintageFender #Guitarist #Luthier #FactorBass #JohnFogertySupport the show

Farming dominated the Zuid Afrikaanse Republiek economy in the 1880s, even after gold was discovered in the eastern Transvaal but that was about to change. Last episode we heard about the early gold finds around Rustenburg which was part of the Witwatersrand Ward back in the late 1800s. Farms along the Ridge of White Waters had a fairly steady supply of water courtesy of the many springs that could be found along the ridge. Still, the freezing winters and the lack of wood meant the region was not in high demand despite water and fairly good soils. By 1886 dozens of diggers began arriving on the Witwatersrand, having heard reports of the earlier finds and growing tired of the limited options available in Pilgrims Rest. Others made their way from the south, from Kimberley or the coast, trekking on foot. Two of those were the George's I mentioned in episode 284 .. George Harrison and George Walker, who walked from the Orange Free State who had decided to chance their luck in Barberton. If it were possible and we teleported ourselves back to this time, we would have come across hundreds of other fortune seekers tramping across the countryside, determined to strike it lucky. George Harrison is a bit of a mystery. He was Australian, or perhaps more accurately, an Englishman who'd live in Australia and joined the gold rush there, failed to find any treasure, then read about the Eastern Transvaal Barberton and Pilgrim's Rest discoveries and made a B-line for South Africa. We don't know much more about Harrison's origin story. George Walker on the other hand had quite an extensive CV — born in Wigan in England in 1853, he made his way to Kimberley in 1879 but had little luck digging for diamonds. He joined a British cavalry contingent during the Anglo-Zulu war and fought in Zululand, after which he rode off to Pilgrim's Rest and Kaapsehoop to dig for gold. Coal had been discovered in large quantities in the Free State, and he first took up a job at the Witrand Coal Mine near Kroonstad, where he met Elizabeth Johanna Catharina Pretorius and the couple married in 1883. It was there that George Harrison bumped into him on his great trek from Kimberley to the eastern Transvaal gold fields and the two decided to try their luck one more time at Barberton. George Walker left his wife Catharina and children in Potchefstroom, and joined Harrison for their trek to Barberton. They broke their journey on the Witwatersrand, deciding to earn more cash to set themselves up with a wagon, horses and other necessities before heading on to Barberton. It just so happened that the Struben brothers were looking for builders around their Confidence Mine, which as you heard last episode, was somewhat of a misnomer. When Hendrik Potgieter and other Voortrekker reconnaissance parties arrived along the Vaal and Witwatersrand in 1836, battles followed, eventually the Ndebele were pushed out the Transvaal completely and ended up in Zimbabwe. The two Georges would have been aware of the Potgieter saga, but blissfully unaware of the pre-history as they wondered through Langlaagte Farm. Originally 2 260 Morgan in size, It had been broken up into four portions. In common with other pastoral communities across Southern Africa, Boer custom stipulated that marriage entailed a land grant or farm subdivision for every son. The difference is most African communities relied on the King or Chief assigning land, whereas in the Boers case, it was the grandfather, or the father. Portion A was owned by Andries Breedt, Portion B by Anna Elizabeth de Beer Mulder - her maiden name was Oosthuizen - Portion C by Gerhardus Oosthuizen, and Portion D by the widow Petronella Oosthuizen and her son, Jan Hendrick Oosthuizen. Portion D was where Harrison was working, building the widow and her son their home. George Walker and George Harrison strolled onto Gerhardus' Oosthuizen's Portion C property, when they stumbled on a well weathered outcrop of rock.

In this episode, Dave and Chris take a two-for-one deep dive into George Harrison's “Here Comes the Sun” and its lesser-known companion (or sequel?) “Here Comes the Moon.” We explore the songs' origins, lyrics, inspiration, unique musical elements (Moog synthesizer!), Ringo's problems playing the meter changes, and a surprise uncredited co-writer for "Here Comes the Moon." As usual, we mention notable covers — from the Concert for Bangladesh and SNL to versions by Nina Simone, Yusuf/Cat Stevens, Peter Tosh and more — and speculate as to why "Here Comes The Sun" is the most-streamed Beatles song while "Here Comes The Moon" is a hidden gem.

Esta edição foi lançada originalmente em 9 de dezembro de 2015. Desta vez, no projeto Sobe de Novo Shi, eu destaco a Charlie Dore, que se não ficou famosa como cantora, pelo menos pode contar uma bela história pros netos: sabe quem tocou como banda de apoio no segundo álbum dela? O Toto! Quer dizer, quase todo o Toto: foram os irmãos Porcaro e o Steve Lukather. Mas ela se deu muito bem como compositora, teve várias músicas gravadas por gente do calibre da Tina Turner, George Harrison, Celine Dion… virou atriz, comediante… ou seja, a mulher ralou nessa vida.  Boa (re)audição e até a próxima!

This is the story of my rock and roll butler. Welcome to the Rock and Roll Geek Show. 00:00:24 My name is Michael Butler. Thanks a lot for joining me. I really appreciate it. 00:00:27 Today is Tuesday, the 14th of July and it is 8.35, I’m doing this, 8.35 p.m. 00:00:36 We are in, where are we, Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans, Evans, uh, Evans, Evans, somewhere in Wyoming. We’re in Wyoming at a place called, Evanson, somewhere, somewhere in Wyoming. At a place called Highway 30 Tavern. 00:01:03 There are the all-star games going on right now. I had no idea the all-star game was happening. There are, it’s kind of a dive bar, yeah it’s pretty much a dive bar but they do serve food so we ordered some wings. 00:01:17 We got a cup, we’re drinking a fine Corona, an undisclosed person and cheers. Cheers. Beautiful undisclosed person, do you feel like introducing yourself or do you still want to stay undisclosed? 00:01:33 Introduce myself. Do you want to give your name or do you want to stay undisclosed? I like to stay undisclosed. 00:01:38 We’ll call her, um, Legit. We’re going to call you Legit. I prefer Raquel. 00:01:47 Alright, Raquel. Raquel is the undisclosed person. We just ordered two Coronas. I’m going to make this short because I’m not going to stay here all night and do a podcast 00:01:55 but we drove, what did we do? We stayed in Winnemucca last night and drove to Elko, Nevada, ate at a Basque restaurant, pretty good Basque lunch, apparently there’s a big Basque population in Elko, Nevada. I think there is in Winnemucca as well. We looked for a dive bar last night and we walked around, we were a little bit afraid 00:02:23 walking in the dark but we managed to make it back alive. The first place we were going to go to was the Butch Cassidy Hole in the Wall, Butch Cassidy Waterhole in the Wall, something like that. It looked shitty, it had fluorescent lights, so we said, ah, we’ll look for somewhere else, maybe we’ll go to the casino and on the way to the casino we found the perfect dive bar. 00:02:45 I don’t remember what it was called, do you remember what it was called? Something tap room, but they didn’t have any tap, oh, the Cheers Tap Room, but there was no tap, it was just a dive bar. That was a really good dive bar, so we had a good time, we had a few drinks and then came back to the room, left this morning and stopped in Elko, Nevada, had lunch, where we parked there was a strip club, it said, I forget what the name of it was, but it said Dancing and Diddling, and we’re like, what’s diddling, I don’t know what that means, I 00:03:25 know what diddling means, it means, isn’t diddling when you put your finger down there on the girl and you mess around with her, and I said, oh, huh, okay, it’s a joke, then I looked to the left and there’s a legal brothel right across the street and then there’s an Asian legal brothel right next to that, one was called Ann’s, what was it called, Mona’s what, Mona’s Dollhouse or something like that, Mona’s Ranch, and then there was Anna’s Ranch, 00:03:59 one had Chinese lanterns hanging out of it, hanging outside, and the other one didn’t. So there were two brothels, then we walked over to have a nice basket lunch and got back on the road and here we are in Evans something Wyoming, moving right along in the Penske truck, friends, I don’t think I got any donations, I haven’t looked at the Venmo, but if you care to contribute, it would be much appreciated, I’m hoping to meet with Ken Grossman tomorrow, I’m not positive where we’re gonna be driving through, I thought I was gonna be driving 00:04:36 through Boulder, Colorado, and I have to check, if I am, I’m gonna meet up with Ken Grossman, I don’t know if I’ve ever met in person, if not we’re gonna head up towards Chicago that way, I don’t know, but look at the map and if I’m on that way friends, hit me up, I would love to meet you for a beer or stay on your couch or just to have some food, whatever, or we just shake hands, you can call me an asshole to my face and you can take a look at beautiful Raquel, the undisclosed travel companion. All right friends, that’s gonna do it, I’m gonna close out with a song sent to me, we’re doing all road songs, we are doing all road songs on this trip, 00:05:19 Kirk Crawford sent me a song, he said Michael Attach is one of my favorite Alvin Lee songs, from a solo album he did in 1973 while still leading 10 years after, and he did it with a country rock singer named Mylon Lefevre, all kinds of British rockers guest appeared on this album, including George Harrison, Steve Winwood, Ron Wood, Mick Fleetwood, among others. Anyway, you may not want to play it on the show as the chorus refrain of the song is, I’m on the road to freedom, on the road to love, that kind of fits, regardless it’s a great song written solely by Alvin and he sings lead and plays all the guitar parts, safe travels. All 00:05:59 right, for you Kirk Crawford, I’m gonna play some Alvin Lee, thank you for listening friends, rockandrollgeek.com is where you can find the show, send me an email rockandrollgeek at gmail.com, hit the donate button at rockandrollgeek.com, all the ways you can contribute to the show, if you get any value out of this, if you don’t, don’t contribute anything, and you can find me on the Facebook rnrgeek, happy birthday Adam Gerstein, friend of the show, he’s what, is he 35 today, probably something like that, find me on the Instagram rockandrollgeek, 00:06:33 don’t ask, find me on the Twitter rnrgeek, and say goodbye, goodbye, Rock Hill, goodbye, and she doesn’t really quite talk, all right I’ll talk to you later friends, here’s Alvin Lee, I’ll talk to you tomorrow.The post Road Trip in Penske Truck – Day 2 first appeared on The Rock and Roll Geek Show.

Also check out Jack's solo work and his work with Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass Kickin Team.The Wikipedia article for this album has a great summary of the fun story and impressive personnel list behind the album.Barry suspected that Far East Man (written by Ron Wood and George Harrison) is about Pattie Boyd, Harrison's wife and widely speculated to be the most written-about woman in rock ‘n' roll (Abigail mentioned Layla by Derek and The Dominos as an example). Jack shared that Layla was also inspired by the Persian love story Layla and Majnun.We played a bit of Freddie Scott's version of Am I Grooving YouAbigail entered Sure the One You Need (written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards) into the Abigail Hummel School of Speaking Smartly About Music with a comparison to Takin' Care of Business by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. We reasoned that this similarity came from a “common musical ancestor”; Jack pitched Chuck Berry. Evidently, an early arrangement of Takin' Care of Business strongly resembled The Beatles' Paperback Writer, which was inspired by Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode. Later, Keith Richards played in Berry's band for two 1986 concerts in St. Louis that were recorded in the film Hail! Hail!

The Beatles (The White Album) (Apple Music) U.S Release November 25, 1968The Beatles' 1968 self-titled double album—universally known as The White Album—is one of the most ambitious and influential recordings in rock history. Emerging after the colorful unity of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the album instead embraces contradiction, diversity, and individuality. Across thirty songs, The Beatles explore folk, hard rock, blues, country, music hall, psychedelia, avant-garde experimentation, and intimate acoustic balladry. The sessions reflected the band's growing personal and creative divisions, yet those tensions fueled remarkable artistic achievements. Paul McCartney's melodic brilliance, John Lennon's emotional honesty, George Harrison's emergence as a world-class songwriter, and Ringo Starr's distinctive personality all shine throughout. Classics such as "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Blackbird," "Dear Prudence," "Helter Skelter," and "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" remain cornerstones of popular music. Uneven by design yet endlessly fascinating, The White Album captures four extraordinary musicians simultaneously growing apart while creating one of the richest, boldest, and most enduring albums ever recorded.

Sunrise doesn't last all morning, but maybe it'll stay around a bit longer for our episode on All Things Must Pass, the trailblazing triple album by former Beatle George Harrison! The Beatles passed up on a hefty number of George's songs over the years, and with their breakup he was free to create like never before! His proper debut solo record blends genres, explores spirituality, and piques interest like few records can. With Phil Spector's wall of sound production style backing up folk- and Hindu-inspired rock, All Things Must Pass is George at his finest.This week we're learning British slang, asking What Is Life, and Letting It Down! Will this solo record rise above Connor's Beatles score? If you really wanna know George, we'll cover his musical past (all the way back to the womb), his beloved Friar Park home, and his final message to the world. The Mixtaper is back with George Harrispins about thieving monkeys, botanical inquest, and trap shooting! Then we'll get a little Wah-Wah and a LOT of slide guitar as we focus up on this record, right down to the special Apple Jam ending!Which gnome are you? What's your favorite ex-Beatle solo album?

Mike Campbell is my guest on this episode of That's How I Remember It. Mike is the legendary Heartbreakers guitar player who stood beside Tom Petty for decades, and he's also played with many other rock giants - Bob Dylan, George Harrison, more. His book last year Heartbreaker is possibly the best book I've ever read on band dynamics, and he's just released a cool new record with his band The Dirty Knobs, called Mission of Mercy. We talked about all of this plus hearing the Beatles for the first time, meeting most of his heroes, the “it's just the normal noises” intro to the Heartbreakers classic “Even the Losers,” and gratitude. Great conversation with a true rock and roll legend. Check it out, and please subscribe!

We are proud to welcome Rock PR veteran Sharon Chevin who has been in the music business for more than 4 decades. What began as a deep love for rock music became a sustaining career which has taken her around the world and helped her forge friendships with some of the biggest artists on the planet. These days, Sharon manages prog rock legends Yes (and she wants me to remind everyone that Aurora is out now) and Steve Hackett (she teases his new collaboration with Marillion's Steve Rothery) but has worked with and hung around some of the biggest stars of all time. Her stories are amazing and funny as she shares how Alice Cooper will work a 14 hour day as long as you give him a couple of hours to shop. Hear how she had to convince hotel staff in Germany that she needed corn flakes for Tom Petty and George Harrison at 1 AM. She talks going to see a new band at Hammersmith called U2 with Pete Townshend and Bruce Springsteen. Mostly, Sharon lets us know that most of the top talent are marvelous people who are great to work with. But not all of them are and she drops a couple of names onto the jerk list. But mostly we hear about how Chris Squire invited her to stay with his family after an earthquake or how John Lord would always drop by her local pub for a glass of wine when he was in town. She admits she fell in love with Billy Idol the moment she met him and how Bryan Adams talked her out of getting Bonnie Raitt's picture taken with Madonna. We're just glad Sharon is still doing PR for bands we love and that she's still sharing her stories of her rock n roll odyssey.

“I do live here and now, but I often think about the past. But then again, I think a lot of people do. So I think writers, what are they going to draw on?”Mark Savage speaks to musician Paul McCartney.Born in Liverpool, England, during the Second World War, he found fame as a member of the legendary British band The Beatles in the 1960s, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in music history.McCartney shared primary singing and songwriting duties with bandmate John Lennon, and along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the four-piece became a global pop music sensation with hits such as Twist and Shout, Yesterday and Hey Jude.They remain one of the best-selling musical acts of all time alongside the likes of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.McCartney was knighted for his services to music in 1997, but despite his huge achievements, the 83-year-old seems to be showing no interest in retirement — he's releasing his 19th solo album.The Boys of Dungeon Lane is inspired by his experiences growing up in post-war Liverpool, during which a young McCartney, carrying a guitar and wearing a bowler hat to catch attention, would hitchhike with John Lennon to places as far away as Paris.

John Leckie is one of British rock’s greatest producers, who started out as a tape operator at Abbey Road in 1970, thrown immediately into sessions for George Harrison’s All Things Must Pass and John Lennon’s Plastic Ono Band. This interview, conducted live at The CAT Club in September 2025, focuses on Sunburst Finish, the Be Bop Deluxe album that gave Leckie his first official production credit, and covers both the making of the album and his creative partnership with Bill Nelson. Additionally, Leckie gives a first-hand account of Syd Barrett’s unannounced appearance during the Wish You Were Here sessions, an encounter he stumbled into while raiding Pink Floyd’s beer fridge, only for Roger Waters to stop the tape and ask who the stranger standing next to him was. The Q&A session draws out further stories about working with The La’s, the Stone Roses’ debut, and how XTC – who idolised Bill Nelson, led Leckie to leave EMI and go independent.

Dr. Edwin "Ted" Bergin is Professor and Chair of Astronomy at the University of Michigan. Ted is an astrochemist who is interested in understanding how and why stars, planets, and living organisms came to be. He examines the formation of stars and planets to better understand the origins of Earth and life on Earth. Since the newly forming stars and planets he studies are so far away, Ted uses astronomical techniques to determine the presence and abundance of the molecules needed to form living things. When he's not pondering the origins of life, Ted loves spending time with his family. Recently, he began a quest to fulfill his lifelong dream of learning to play the guitar. Ted enjoys old school 1970s rock and roll music, and he is slowly working his way up to playing pieces like George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun". He completed his undergraduate training in Astronomy at Villanova University, and he was awarded his PhD in Astronomy from the University of Massachusetts. Before joining the faculty at the University of Michigan, Ted worked as an astronomer/astrophysicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Ted has been awarded the University of Michigan Henry Russel Award for his exceptional scholarship and teaching. This is the highest award given to Assistant Professors. Ted joins us to talk about his experiences in life and science.

Bassist Greg Norton was the George Harrison of the mighty Husker Du. While alpha's Bob Mould and Grant Hart competed for album space and song excellence, Greg remained a loyal soldier in the background playing his part well. When the band broke up in the late 80s, he changed careers and became a chef for a while. Finally in the last few years, a musical project has come along that's deserving of his massive talent - the all-star punk band Ultrabomb. The supergroup (members of Social Distortion and Soul Asylum round it out) just released their third album, The Bridges That We Burn which easily rivals anything their original bands released.

What happens when you rescue a forgotten studio that once shaped American music history - and bring it roaring back to life?This week, I sat down with Teresa Knox, the powerhouse entrepreneur and preservationist behind the rebirth of The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma - the legendary home of Leon Russell, the early Shelter Records family, and the roots of what became known as the Tulsa Sound. Teresa shares the entire arc of this wild journey: from collecting Leon Russell Slurpee cups as an 8-year-old kid, to buying the abandoned church sight unseen, to rebuilding it from the ground up and restoring it as a world-class studio, museum, archive, and engineering school. We talk about the stunning history embedded in the building - the 1915 hand-built sanctuary, the 1972 Leon-era renovations, and what it really takes to preserve a place where so many iconic recordings were born.We dig deep into the music: Leon's time in the Wrecking Crew, his explosion after Mad Dogs & Englishmen, recording with George Harrison at the Concert for Bangladesh, and his early influence on players like Elton John and Glen Campbell. Teresa shares stories from the Shelter Records years - Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers arriving as Mudcrutch, J.J. Cale, The Gap Band, Phoebe Snow, Willis Alan Ramsey, Freddie King, and even Bob Marley & The Wailers turning the place into a Jamaican party. She walks us through the official Church Studio playlist, the discovery of original artifacts inside the walls, and why preserving the stories of these musicians matters just as much as preserving the building itself.Finally, we talk about the reconstruction: shoring up a collapsing foundation, solving electrical noise and RF issues, preserving historic architecture while building a modern studio, restoring a Neve 8068, installing two EMT 140 plates, and designing a hybrid analog/digital workflow. Teresa also explains how The Church Studio now trains new engineers through its hands-on vocational school, hosts sessions with top artists, runs a nonprofit to support musicians, and continues the legacy of Leon and the Tulsa Sound through events like CarniFest. Her passion for preservation, community, and world-class sound makes this one of the most inspiring studio stories I've ever heard.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ The next program starts May 11, 2026 https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK30 to get 1 month free of NI 360!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6BLaSUX1juRYH6jHHTfa6k?si=nZtNPzHDSXi0bVQnpSU43AIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/557

We remember martial arts champion turned Hollywood action hero Chuck Norris, who died last week at age 86. In addition to his many kung fu and action films, he was the star of the long-running TV show, ‘Walker, Texas Ranger.' He spoke with Terry Gross in 1988 about the karate he learned while stationed in Korea. Also, we remember Tex-Mex musician Augie Meyers of the Texas Tornadoes, who died March 7 at age 85.  His signature sound was created on the vox organ, an instrument made in Britain. When he went to England in the ‘60s he got a call at his hotel. “George Harrison and John Lennon called the hotel and wanted me to come to the studio because they wanted to see how they had a vox organ but they couldn't get the sound I had out of mine,” he told Terry Gross in 1990. Justin Chang reviews the film ‘Miroirs No. 3' and David Bianculli reviews ‘Marshals' and ‘The Madison.'
