Lanea Stagg of The Recipe Records Series and Jude Southerland Kessler of The John Lennon Series chat with witty and entertaining journalist and author, Ivor Davis, announcing the 60th Anniversary re-release of his book, The Beatles and Me on Tour. Davis was the ONLY journalist to take the entire (Day One to Day End) 1964 North American Tour with The Beatles, and he also served as George Harrison's ghost writer for Harrison's "Daily Journal" in the London Daily Express. The following year, Ivor was one of only 2 journalists selected by The Beatles to accompany them when they met Elvis for the first time! Great true stories and a lively discussion follow as Davis releases his new book with 100 additional pages of info and photos from masters such as Harry Benson and Ron Joy. You will laugh and learn in this very exciting episode of "She Said She Said." 

The effervescent lead singer and drummer for Cowboy Mouth, Fred LeBlanc, is interviewed by Lanea Stagg of The Recipe Records Series of rock'n'roll cookbooks and Jude Southerland Kessler of biographical narrative series, The John Lennon Series. In addition to video of two of the band's top charted songs, "I Believe" and "Jenny Says," Fred shares his musical tribute to John Lennon, a touching emotional memory he wrote called "12-8." He talks candidly about the impact of John Lennon and The Beatles on his life and how the loss of John made him realize that we're promised no tomorrows...urging him to move forward with his band. That decision propelled his group into the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame and on to national success. Fred also discusses his love of New Orleans and Mardi Gras with the big hit, "Mardi Gras State of Mind." One of the most inspiring episodes of SSSS ever! Enjoy!

We were very honored to have guest author Jude Southerland Kessler (Author of the John Lennon Series) on this week's episode of 2Legs! This week we take a look at the dynamic between John & Paul's relationship during 1963 centering around Paul's 21st Birthday which garnered some headlines in the U.K. We discuss their trip to Paris and what their relationship was at that moment in time. Jude made 7 trips to Liverpool across the span of 7 years to do her research. Something that instantly clicked with Andy :) We discuss common friends, interviews she conducted, Liverpool geography and witnesses that were at Paul's 21st Birthday, namely Bill Harry. One of the few people who are still left from. Jude has 5 books currently published, Shoulda Been There (1940-1961), "Shivering Inside" (December 1961-April 1963), She Loves You (May 1963-March 1964), Should Have Known Better (March 1964-March 1965), Shades Of Life" (Part 1) January 1965-August 1965. She is also the co-host of the "She Said, She Said" Podcast along with Lanea Stagg. Thank you very much Jude for coming on and sharing some of your memories and history with us!

Let me take you back, 'cos we're goin' to 1963...with two of the most respected journalists of the year, London Daily Express foreign correspondent, Ivor Davis (author of The Beatles and Me on Tour) and Westinghouse Network journalist, Art Schreiber (author of Out of Sight).

If Stu Sutcliffe was John Lennon's best friend at Liverpool College of Art, Helen Anderson was his best female friend. John sought Helen out since she had painted a famous portrait of Lonnie Donegan, and the two became constant companions. Helen was also, throughout her life, an intimate friend of Cynthia Lennon, and the true insider stories that Helen tells could not be told by anyone else. In 1963, Helen returned to Liverpool from an exciting art career in Rome, and she established an art and designer apparel shop in Bold Street, creating and selling the signature cap that John Lennon always wore. Today, after a very successful career as a designer for TV shows such as "Dallas," Helen has her own design website, https://www.helenandersondesigns.com as she continues to create unique, fun, brilliant Beatles-themed T-shirts and John Lennon caps. To learn more about the REAL lives of John and Cyn, listen to this fast-paced, happy interview! You will love Helen as much as John and Cyn did!

In 1969, Ivor Davis was an award-winning foreign correspondent for London's Daily Express, living in Los Angles, and feeling as many did in LA's affluent neighborhoods, that his life was fairly safe and insulated from crime. But in August of that year, when the followers of Charles Manson made headlines with one of the most brutal murder rampages of the 20th Century...an attack on wealthy actress Sharon Tate and others in Hollywood's most desired neighborhoods, Davis was chilled and intrigued. Grabbing his tape recorder, he immediately went to the courthouse in Inyo County Courthouse where Manson was being held and then out to the Spahn Ranch, where members of Manson's cult who had not been arrested were still hanging out. For three long days, Davis interviewed and became intimately familiar with Manson's followers and took copious notes on the gruesome true story that evolved into his award-winning book Five To Die, released in 1970. This book was so accurate and detailed that it was adopted as part of the Manson Trial court record.Now, 50 years later, Davis has released Manson Exposed, a much more in-depth study of the hideous but historical murders, incorporating information from the trial, and events that have ensued during the last five decades. He talks about the threat on his life from Squeaky Fromme and her later threat to the life of a U.S. President. And he reveals what has transpired with Manson in the years after the horror of 1969.In this recording, Lanea Stagg of The Recipe Records Series and Jude Southerland Kessler of The John Lennon Series of narrative biographies, sit down with Davis to suss out how his new book, Manson Exposed, is different from Five to Die. They discuss the later developments in the Manson case and address the rumor that The Beatles' song, "Helter Skelter" was Manson's motivation for the killing. Davis also talks about other historic events of the 1960's including his journalistic presence at the admission of James Meredith into Ole Miss, his presence with The Beatles on the 1964 North American Tour, and his presence with The Beatles on the night they met Elvis, 1965. You won't want to miss this exciting half-hour with Ivor Davis! Witty, informed, and brilliant, he will have you captivated.

In 1969, Ivor Davis was an award-winning foreign correspondent for London's Daily Express, living in Los Angles, and feeling as many did in LA's affluent neighborhoods, that his life was fairly safe and insulated from crime. But in August of that year, when the followers of Charles Manson made headlines with one of the most brutal murder rampages of the 20th Century...an attack on wealthy actress Sharon Tate and others in Hollywood's most desired neighborhoods, Davis was chilled and intrigued. Grabbing his tape recorder, he immediately went to the courthouse in Inyo County Courthouse where Manson was being held and then out to the Spahn Ranch, where members of Manson's cult who had not been arrested were still hanging out. For three long days, Davis interviewed and became intimately familiar with Manson's followers and took copious notes on the gruesome true story that evolved into his award-winning book Five To Die, released in 1970.
