President Donald Trump says he will direct every federal agency to immediately stop using technology from AI developer Anthropic. The company behind the AI assistant Claude is mired in a row with the White House after refusing demands to give the US military unfettered access to its AI tools. Anthropic says “no amount of intimidation or punishment” will shift its opposition to its technology being used for mass domestic surveillance or fully autonomous weapons, and says it will challenge the White House decision in court.Also: the former US President, Bill Clinton, tells a Congressional committee he did nothing wrong during his acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein. President Trump says he's "not happy" with the outcome of the third round of nuclear negotiations with Iran, but the Omani mediator says "peace is within reach" and calls for more time to be given to diplomatic efforts.

I aired 260 episodes, mainly interviews with famous and amazing musicians and other creatives, but also Special Episodes featuring my new musical works, tribute episodes, and Encore episodes.As I've done in the past, I've put together a Highlights Show featuring some of the best excerpts from ten of the episodes. Ann Hampton Callaway is one of the greatest stars of Broadway, Television, concerts and recording. Among her many other accomplishments she wrote and sang the theme song to “The Nanny” TV show. She talks about getting that assignment.   Michael Shrieve was the longtime drummer for Santana, one of the greatest bands of the modern era. They were one of the biggest stars of Woodstock, and Michael's drum solo in “Soul Sacrifice” literally stole the show. He talks about the rumor that the band was high on psychedelics during that memorable performance.   Arturo Sandoval is one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. He grew up in Cuba and had to defect to come to the U.S. He talks about how Dizzy Gillespie was instrumental in getting him and his bandmates out of Cuba and their first gig in the U.S.   Jeffrey Biegel is an acclaimed Grammy winning concert pianist. He's a good friend of Neil Sedaka, the legendary pop star and composer. He tells the story about how Neil informed his piano teacher at Juilliard about his first pop hit.   Dave Eggar is a 5x Grammy nominated rock star cellist who played on Coldplay's massive hit, “Viva La Vida”. He tells the story about meeting Chris Martin of Coldplay for the first time.   Giora Schmidt is a virtuoso American-Israeli violinist. He tells the story of what happened when he flew on a commuter plane and there was no room in the overhead for his very expensive concert violin.   Ivor Davis is a renowned journalist, investigative reporter and author. He tells what it was like to travel with and cover The Beatles on their 1964 tour of America.   Benny Benack III is a spectacular young trumpet player and vocalist who has performed all over the world.

Richie Zito checks a lot of boxes for the Hustle. For one, he was a noted session guitarist in the 70s for artists like Neil Sedaka, Hellen Reddy, Leif Garrett, and Elton John. Then he eventually became one of the most successful producers of the next decade working with people like Eddie Money ("Take Me Home Tonight"), Cheap Trick ("The Flame"), Bad English ("When I See You Smile"), the Cult, Heart, and Poison. In between, he hooked up with Giorgio Moroder and played on everything he did for a while including "Danger Zone", Berlin, Donna Summer and tons more. There is a mountain of gold to cover in this one and I have a feeling we just scratched the surface. Enjoy!  The Hustle Podcast | creating podcasts | Patreon

Jeffrey Biegel is a Spectacular Concert Pianist. He's a Grammy winner and has a remarkable back story. At age three he was barely able to hear or speak, in fact he could hear only vibrations, until he had corrective surgery. This so-called 'reverse Beethoven' phenomenon is at the heart of his commitment to music. In 2025 he premiered three new works including one by Melissa Manchester. In 2021 he premiered a work in honor of former Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. He's worked with conductors JoAnn Falletta and Lucas Richman.  He received high praise from Leonard Bernstein who called him “a splendid musician and a brilliant performer." And he's performed music by George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, Keith Emerson and Neil Sedaka.My featured song is “New York City Groove”, from the album Made In New York by my band Project Grand Slam.

Label: RCA 8382Year: 1964Condition: MPrice: $20.00This one deserved much more airplay than it got at the time... I guess Sedaka seemed kind of anachronistic in the summer of the Beatles. This would have been a great hit for the Four Seasons, clearly... a really wonderful uptempo Sedaka classic with a great B side too. Check out the mp3 "snippet" to hear for yourself! By the way, this was a non-album single. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage RCA Victor Records factory sleeve. It has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).

Many mark the start of the singer-songwriter genre to have begun when Carole King released her second studio album, the iconic Tapestry. As would be expected from a singer-songwriter, all of the songs on the album were either written or co-written by King.  Tapestry is considered one of the greatest albums of all time in the soft rock genre.Born Carol Joan Klein in Manhattan, King began piano lessons at four years of age.  Her upbringing included friendship with Paul Simon and dating Neil Sedaka.  In the 50's at the age of 17 she met and married Jerry Goffin with whom she would team up on songwriting through the 60's - King writing the music and Goffin writing the lyrics.  They had several successful songs during the 60's including "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (The Monkees), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits), and "Up On the Roof" (the Drifters).  King and Goffin divorced by 1968, and King moved to Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to re-start her recording career.Tapestry features both new and old songs of Carole King's catalog.  Several new friends from the Laurel Canyon area appear on the album, including James Taylor and Joni Mitchell.  Fellow songwriter Toni Stern co-wrote two of the songs, including the hit "It's Too Late."The album was a hit, spending 313 weeks on the Billboard Charts (second only to "Dark Side of the Moon" in time on the chart).  It also was a critical success, taking the Grammy for Album of the Year at the 1972 Grammy awards.  King announced her retirement from music in May 2012, but has done a few things since then, including a live performance of Tapestry in Hyde Park in 2016.  Friend of the show Greg Lyon sits in for Wayne while Bruce presents this soft rock album for this week's podcast.TapestryThe title track to the album is a look back on life as a colorful combination of threads woven into a picture or pattern, but not one intended to last.  This is a deeper cut which was not released as a single.Where You LeadSeveral songs became hits for other artists while the album was still on the charts, including this one.  Barbara Streisand recorded this song for her 1971 album, and it reached number 40.  The song takes its inspiration from the book of Ruth in the Bible.  It was also the theme song for the television series "Gilmore Girls."  Toni Stern collaborated with King to write this song.  You've Got a FriendThis is another song which became a hit for another artist.  James Taylor did this on his 1971 album, "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon," making it to number 1 on the US charts.  The two albums were being produced concurrently, and Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Danny Kortchmar perform on both King's version and on Taylor's version.  King has said the song is a response to the line in James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" which says "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend."  So Far AwayJames Taylor is on acoustic guitar for this piece, and King is on piano.  It went to number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was on the charts in September 1971.  It starts with a focus on the physical distance between lovers, then moves on to emotional distance.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the serial Danger Island (from the television series “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour”) This live action 10-minute adventure short appeared as a part of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour," which concluded this month. STAFF PICKS:Ain't No Sunshine by Bill WithersLynch leads off the staff picks with Withers' breakthrough single from his debut album, "Just As I Am."  The inspiration for this song was the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses," which portrays two characters who were alcoholics.  The idea is that someone may not be right for you, but you miss them regardless.  Signs by Five Man Electrical Band"And the sign said 'long haired freaky people need not apply!"  Rob brings us a signature song from a Canadian band.  The song originally appeared as a B-side to a less successful song called "Hello Melinda Goodbye," but became successful on its own.  Frontman Les Emerson wrote this song after seeing so many billboards in Los Angeles which obscured the natural scenery.Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get by The DramaticsGreg features the title song from the debut album of R&B group The Dramatics.  This song contrasting the fakeness of people with the authenticity of the singer went to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the R&B chart.  It fuses a Motown feel with a Latin undertone.Thin Line Between Love and Hate by The PersuadersBruce brings us a cautionary tale about a guy who comes home late at night, finding his girl smiling and ready to cook him some dinner.  He learns his lesson when he wakes up in the hospital, beaten to within an inch of his life.  This song by a New York R&B group made it to number 15 on the US charts.  INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Rock by Atomic RoosterWe close out with an instrumental from a British rock band originally co-formed by prog rock organist Vincent Crane and percussionist Carl Palmer.

Repasando algunas de sus producciones históricas volvemos a los cimientos de Panart, la etiqueta pionera que con carácter independiente, sentó las bases de la industria discográfica nacional. En 1944, con una producción discográfica regular, el ingeniero de sonido Ramón Sabat marcó un antes y un después en el panorama de producción, edición y difusión de la música en la isla. Hasta la aparición de Panart, todo lo atractivo y apetecible que acontecía artística y musicalmente lo registraban emporios norteamericanos. Entre ellos los de mayor presencia Columbia y Victor, esta última fusionada ya en los primeros años 40 con la Radio Corporation of América (RCA). Aún latente la segunda guerra mundial, Sabat comenzó a instalarse en la habanera calle San Miguel no.410. Con el equipamiento técnico mínimo e indispensable, listo para comenzar a grabar y prensar sus producciones, echaba a andar una maquinaria de difusión exitosa que, en un país esencialmente musical, trazó un camino señero para otros emprendedores de la época. Nacía entonces la industria fonográfica independiente cubana. Hacia 1960 la representaban poco más de 30 sellos con unos volúmenes de producción estable y con una presencia importante en el extranjero. La política cultural en función del control absoluto y la estatalización de los medios de difusión, entronizada por el régimen militar instaurado en 1959 (a través de las llamadas "intervenciones") comenzó a poner punto final al flujo de promoción musical sustentado por una eficiente maquinaria de producción, edición y difusión de música popular cubana que funcionaba maravillosamente dentro y fuera de la Isla. El 30 de mayo de 1961 la Panart fue "nacionalizada". Ramón Sabat, su fundador, forzado al exilio murió en los Estados Unidos el 15 de marzo de 1986 completamente olvidado. Los históricos estudios que fundó hace más de ocho décadas en La Habana los ocupa EGREM. Las memorias de la industria discográfica nacional que, en la frontera de los años 50 a los 60, gozaba de maravillosa salud, nos sirve de pretexto para reverenciar el arte del pianista Frank Emilio Flynn. Así retomamos las ediciones del sello independiente "Tropicana". El productor radial Adolfo Seeman quien desempeñaba sus labores en la emisora habanera CMOX con un perfil dedicado al jazz, propició en dos álbumes el debut discografico del llamado "Quinteto de Música Moderna". Junto a Frank Emilio: Papito Hernández en contrabajo, Tata Güines en las tumbadoras, Guillermo Barreto alternando drums y pilas, y Gustavo Tamayo en güiro. Producciones "Tropicana" afianzando en el mercado discografico independiente, la categoría del jazz cubano. Seguimos repasando la banda sonora de los primeros años 60. El argentino Luis Aguilé, precedido por sus grabaciones para la etiqueta Odeon, a la par de conquistar un público netamente adolescente, encontró en Cuba una fenomenal plaza que impulsó su carrera. Aparte de la mega influencia de ídolos norteamericanos como Elvis, Paul Anka o Neil Sedaka, también por esas fechas las grabaciones de "Los Cinco Latinos" y las del mexicano Manolo Muñoz fueron conformando un sedimento estético y sonoro donde estrellas nacientes como el rockero de Palma Soriano: Luisito Bravo se dieron a conocer. Seguimos conectados con la industria del disco independiente cubano. Hacia 1961, en pleno auge el formato de los combos, las grabaciones de Luisito Bravo con los arreglos y acompañamientos del imprescindible Eddy Gaytán, producidas por la etiqueta Velvet, esbozaban la categoría del pop rock cubano, abriendo un camino que muy pronto seguirían otros exponentes. Algunos de los abuelos del pop rock cubano se apoyaron en estilos como el twist, el wawá, el gogó, el yeyé y el shake. Sobrevivieron en un ambiente sonoro marcado por la estatalización del sistema de difusión donde sus canciones no tenían mucho qué hacer. Luisito Bravo, Lita del Real, Raul Gómez con Los Bucaneros, Danny Puga y Luisa María Güell despiden el programa.

We're giving Alex and the guys the week off for the first time since restarting the BaT podcast in January 2024. This week, we serve you a reheated and much-better-sounding version of Alex's February 2024 interview with the one-and-only, the legendary, the beloved, Peter Egan—he of Side Glances in Road & Track, of countless harebrained-slash-inspirational road trips, of April Fools road tests, and of so much more. This is the man that so many of us at BaT and beyond like to think we've fashioned ourselves after; a modest and humble writer who, perhaps unknowingly, has played a formative role in our addictions to the great machinery of the world, the call of the open road, and the treasures to be found when these things are combined.Peter sat down with Alex over a year ago in his erstwhile stomping grounds of coastal Orange County, California, to discuss his career and the cars, bikes, planes, people, and places it was formed around. They cover his entry into journalism via Cycle World; the power of an interesting car, or a Piper Cub, to make friends out of strangers in faraway lands; the social advantages of touring the country in someone else's Ferrari; a memorable hometown show with Chuck Berry and Billy Peek, caught on happenstance; getting a glimpse of the Old Man at Fiorano; the art of (somewhat) feigning ignorance; getting locked into the Morgan factory at Malvern; sharing the last Everest flight of the season with Neil Sedaka, and only Neil Sedaka; whether Egan's next project will be a 76-year-old British sports car or a 27-year-old Italian superbike; and how Barb has stuck with him come fire and come rain (yes, Barb really is that great).Links for titles/listings discussed in this episode:The Ex-Peter Egan 1967 Jaguar XKE Coupe that was auctioned in 2019 with 335 comments—including one from the man himself, which gathered quite possibly the most thumbs-up a single comment has ever received on BaTTom Cotter's Cobra storyEgan's archive at the Road & Track website (may require a membership subscription)A variety of Egan's writing collections available for purchase (we highly recommend picking up every last one of them)Got suggestions for our next guest from the BaT community or One Year Garage episode?

Mark reveals one of the best films he's seen in a long time and we dive into the world of Cool Stories in Music with a little-known fact about Neil Sedaka.

Send us a textBob and Lisa the driving force behind The BellRays stop by to talk about their musical journey, touring, and their latest album, Heavy Steady Go.***Bob and Lisa Kekaula made The BellRays happen in 1990 in Riverside, California but they weren't really thinking about any of this then. They wanted to play music and they wanted it to feel good. They wanted people to WANT to get up, to NEED to get up and check out what was going on. Form an opinion. React.So they took everything they knew about; the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, the Who, the Ramones Billie Holiday, Lou Rawls, Hank Williams, the DB's, Jimmy Reed, and Led Zeppelin (to name a very few to whom “BLUES IS THE TEACHER”) and pressed it into service.Those bands and artists have since become “buzz words”, things to imitate and sound like. That was never The BellRays intention. The BellRays were never about coming up with a “sound”, or fitting in with a scene. It was about the energy that made all that music so irresistible. The BellRays' influences learned from the Blues and then learned how to make it their own. The Beatles wanted to play R&B, converted that energy, and invented “Rubber Soul”. The Ramones were trying to be Del Shannon or Neil Sedaka and out came “Rocket to Russia”.It's an organic trail that flows through Bob and Lisa and the current rhythm section of Pablo Rodas (Lisa and the Lips, Alber Solo) on bass and Craig Waters (Countdowns, Andre Williams, Cody Chestnut) on drums, and comes out honest and urgent. You will learn and you will feel. Blues is always teaching and Punk is always preaching.For more information go to their website: https://thebellrays.com/****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comThis episode is on YouTube:https://youtu.be/19BYiRDY42E Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomHave a question or want to be a guest on the podcast email: dauna@bettertopodcast.comAudio production by Rich Zei of Third Ear AudioIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast SuziUpcoming guests: https://www.dmneedom.com/better-topodcast©2024 Better To...Podcast with D.
