Podcasts about quiet beatle

Todays episode is hosted by Degrassi's Annie Clark and her sister, The Quiet Beatle herself, Ali - (A sophisticated treat for all, as these sisters know the Queens English!) - while Sam enjoys her mat leave. (And by ENJOYS, I mean she lives in a COT at the hospital with a gaping stomach wound,  but anyway I'm not supposed to even be writing this, I'm just doing it because I had a free moment in my weird hospital dorm room, and Annie is putting Bennett to sleep. I'm NOT EVEN HERE). Today the girls answer questions about a sister being a bitch about her sisters wedding and also something about parenthood? Idk I haven't listened yet. Gonna listen now from my COT. LOVE Y'ALL!

When George Harrison died, I helped move a friend from her flat in Elizabeth St to her new place then in Tasman St. From Mt Vic to Mt Cook sounds like the title to a down-scaling book but this was just how it was back in 2001. We scrubbed the walls to get the smoke stains off from where the pictures had been and all the while the radio was playing Beatles songs.I was on the heavy lifting, helping the removal men when they arrived. I was lifting tables and chairs, computer desks and various things down the alleyway to the street front. It was baking hot; I'd played a gig the night before and stayed up late drinking whatever was in the house as a toast to the Quiet Beatle. My hangover was getting a workout.The removal truck arrived, driven by the world's rudest man. He was instantly a caricature. Loud and dumb and full of himself. And his truck was in the middle of the street – a one-way road. He figured everyone could wait because he was on a paid job. And when he did, grudgingly, move the truck, he backed it into someone's car. A neighbour popped his head in to say he'd seen what happened. The moving man stuck his neck out to tell the man to forget what he saw if he wanted to keep all his fingers. Then there was a car of women beeping. Beeping. Trying to tell this man to move.I was head-down and just bringing out the loads of stuff. But I said, at one point, that maybe he ought to move his truck. He laughed maniacally and then went to meet the women in the car. He bent down, leaned in and hoiked a giant spit right into the face of the driver. His co-worker laughed, then corrected himself, shook his head, was mortified. And he asked the lunatic, “why did you do that?”The meathead replied that it was the “the dirtiest thing I could think to do”.The radio belted out I Me Mine and Here Comes The Sun and Taxman and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. All those great George Harrison-penned Beatles songs. We heard a few of the solo gems too – obviously My Sweet Lord and All Those Years Ago, that cover of Got My Mind Set on You and a Travelling Wilburys song – or two.But this was the end of the line. A guy spat in a woman's face because he couldn't be bothered to move his truck. Because he was sure that he was the boss. Because he knew that he was large – and if not in charge he was still the king. At least of anything that mattered in his world. We were mortified. Horrified. We were stunned to silence – and didn't feel good about that.We had a story. A weird story. And it's one we'll always have. Me and the friend I helped move that day…were married a few years on, we've moved houses a handful of times since that occasion. We've streamlined all we can but the mess continues to grow, the stuff we don't need builds up around us. And we have a son now that wants to know any story about The Beatles that we can think of.One day, he can read this. And make of it what he will.Sounds Good! is a reader-supported publication.

She was surrounded by the music, but is seldom heard from. Her relationship was splashed across every tabloid, but she's largely shunned the press. For being the muse of hits like “And I Love Her” and “We Can Work It Out,” very little is known about her. But this week, host Emma dug up enough about this Doll to put together an episode full of swinging 60s tunes and laughter!

Scoot talks to Marty Scott, who plays George in "Liverpool Legends," about the life and legacy of the Quiet Beatle, who passed away November 29, 2001 after a battle with cancer

301 - George Harrison - The Quiet Beatle's Solo Career pt1 - First of two programs on Beatle George Harrison. Broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin www.oar.org.nz

Som The Beatles havde The Quiet Beatle, George Harrison, havde – og har – Shu-Bi-Dua den stille guitarist og producer, Claus Asmussen. Det handler som regel om Michael, når man taler Shu-Bi-Dua, men i denne POVcast er Claus i centrum. I år fejrer Shu-Bi-Dua 50 års jubilæum – Shu-Bi-Læum, som Michael Hardingers band selvfølgelig kalder det. Egentlig har der ikke eksisteret et Shu-Bi-Dua, siden Michael Bundesen blev syg i 2011. Bundesen er ikke længere iblandt os – men musikken lever videre på alle platforme, ikke mindst i Hardinger Band og Claus Asmussens band, Shubberne. Begge bands er på jubilæumsturne. Udover jobbet som guitarist i SBD gennem 30 år var Asmussen Shu-Bi-Duas lydtekniker – og, tør vi godt sige, producer. I denne podcast fortæller Asmussen om sin karriere, der begyndte med bandet Noblemen, senere blev han headhunted af Tommy Seebach til Sir Henry & His Butlers, spillede med på guitar under de første opsætninger af "Hair" og "Jesus Christ Superstar" i Danmark - derefter blev han lydtekniker på de to første Shu-Bi-Dua album – og medlem af bandet fra 1975 til 2005. Du får et indblik i Shu-Bi-Duas historie. Særligt de numre, Claus Asmussen bar med ind i studiet, bl.a. klassikere som f.x. ”Emma”, ”Rosita”, ”United Steakes” og ”McArine”. ”Allerede til to'eren kom Hardinger med ”Vuffelivov”, men den blev droppet. Vi synes simpelthen, den var for tåbelig. ”Jeg har en hund med fire poter.” Yes, kunne det være meget anderledes? Så den blev droppet på 2'eren.” Men da der manglede numre til fireren, kom både ”Vuffelivov” og Asmussens ”McArine” med. Lyt med, og hør om de mange timer, der blev brugt i studiet til at forfine andre klassikere som ”Rom & Cola” og ”Minus til plus”. Hvis mellemstykke med musik af faren, Svend Asmussen, og Claus selv, han har et helt specielt forhold til. - Er det rigtigt, at SBDs første plader blev indspillet på Danmarks første ottespors båndoptager? - Hvorfor lyder Asmussens dobbelte solo på "Krig og fred" – som, ja, krig uden fred? - Hvorfor blev SBD's studie i Kbh. K kaldt "en schweizisk bank". - Hvor hentede Shu-Bi-Dua deres inspiration? - Hvordan var deres arbejdsproces? - Hvorfor stoppede Claus Asmussen i Shu-Bi-Dua i 2005, da bandet udsendte H.C. Andersen 200 års albummet. - Hvorfor stopper Asmussen og den anden gamle SDB-kæmpe, Willy Pedersen, nu i Shubberne? - Hvem har kaldt Shu-Bi-Duas plader de bedste westcoast rock-plader, produceret udenfor USA? - Hvilke SBD-numre er hyldestnumre til Kim Larsen? - Er det rigtigt, at det er Claus selv, der spiller guitaren på Jarl Friis-Mikkelsens SBD-parodi med Kester, "Bare man kan logre". Disse og mange andre spørgsmål bliver besvaret.

Maggie LePique speaks with celebrating author, and educator Ashley Khan about the enduring legacy of George Harrison,  a British guitarist, singer, songwriter and film producer. As a member of the Beatles, he achieved international fame and renown. During his career, he developed as a songwriter in his own right and wrote many best selling songs. In addition to music, Harrison was interested in Hindu spirituality and was a devotee of the Hare Krishna movement. George also founded the Material World Charitable Foundation, or MWF, on 26 April 1973, close to two years after he had organised the Concert for Bangladesh in New York as a benefit for refugees of the Bangladesh Liberation War. MWF is still active and Olivia Harrison (George's widow) is Director of the Charitable Organization. My guest Ashley Kahn,  is a Grammy-winning author, educator, music journalist, and concert producer. His books include A Love Supreme: The Story of John Coltrane's Signature Album and Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece. He teaches at New York University's Clive Davis Institute for Recorded Music.​Ashley also edited the book: George Harrison on George Harrison is an authoritative, chronologically arranged anthology of Harrison's most revealing and illuminating interviews, personal correspondence, and writings, spanning the years 1962 to 2001. Though known as the “Quiet Beatle,” Harrison was arguably the most thoughtful and certainly the most outspoken of the famous four. This compendium of his words and ideas proves that point repeatedly, revealing his passion for music, his focus on spirituality, and his responsibility as a  celebrity, as well as a sense of deep commitment and humor.Source: https://tisch.nyu.edu/about/directory/clive-davis-institute/1417614318Source: https://www.materialworldfoundation.comSource: https://www.amazon.com/George-Harrison-Interviews-Encounters-Musicians/dp/1641600519This episode is from an archive from the KPFK program Profiles adapted for podcast.Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

The Friday Newsletter | Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1872 Birth of Anna Gilman Hill, Director of the Garden Club of America (1920-1926) and assistant editor of the Club's Bulletin (1921-1945). Anna and her husband own an estate in East Hampton called "Grey Gardens," which was purchased by the American socialite Edith Bouvier Beale. Anna once wrote, Above all, in your absence, do not allow the children, the ignorant visitor, your husband, or your maiden aunt to play the hose on your poor defenseless plants.   1943 Birth of George Harrison (books about this person), English musician and singer-songwriter, and lead guitarist of the Beatles. His original song compositions include While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Here Comes the Sun. Sometimes referred to as the "Quiet Beatle," George relished his life out of the spotlight and said, I'm not really a career person. I'm a gardener, basically... Sometimes I feel like I'm actually on the wrong planet. It's great when I'm in my garden, but the minute I go out the gate, I think, 'What the hell am I doing here?"   1989 On this day, The Age newspaper out of Melbourne, Australia, ran a story about a brand new play written by Suzanne Spunner called "Edna for the Garden." The play featured the charismatic Australian gardener, designer, conservationist, and writer Edna Walling. During her lifetime, her garden design clients would say to their friends, You must have Edna for the garden. The familiar saying inspired the name of the play.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Secret Gardeners by Victoria Summerley This book came out late in 2017, and the subtitle is Britain's Creatives Reveal Their Private Sanctuaries. This book features the private gardens, the secret gardens, of some of Britain's most famous artists. In all, twenty-five gardens are featured in this drop-dead gorgeous book. You'll get to see the gardens of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Anish Kapoor, Jeremy Irons, Cath Kidston, Terry Gilliam, Prue Leith, Ozzy Osbourne, Sting, Julian Fellowes, and Rupert Everett, just to name a few. For the most part, these private sanctuaries - these great spaces - are not for public consumption. Without Victoria and Hugo's book, these gardens would remain hidden; they would remain secret gardens. But thankfully and generously, they all agreed to be part of this incredible book. In the introduction, Victoria reveals how she and Hugo have connected with these beautiful spaces. They've done a couple of great books together:   Secret Gardens of the Cotswolds (2015) Great Gardens of London (2019) Victoria writes, When planning this book, Hugo Ritson Thomas and I did not set out to feature famous people who had lovely garden. Our original concept was a book on artist's gardens, looking at how those who had some training or background in the visual arts organize their outdoor spaces. We were all very enthusiastic about the idea, but realized that it might have a broader appeal if we included people who were involved in the performance arts as well. I'm often asked how I choose the garden for my books. The answer is that I don't — Hugo does. I have a power of veto… but Hugo is the one who persuades people to open their gates and let us in.  How he does this I have no idea. I am firmly of the belief that Hugo could persuade St. Peter to open the gates of heaven... If our publisher decided to... commission a book on the Garden of Eden. Hugo and Victoria make a lovely garden book team. Hugo's indelible images transport us to these wonderful spaces, and Victoria helps us appreciate them on a much deeper level than we would otherwise without her lovely commentary. When you pick up a Victoria Summerly/Hugo Rittson Thomas book, you know it's going to be beautiful, you know that the gardens will be world-class, and you know that you're buying a book that is not for the bookshelf. It's way too pretty for that. This is a book that is set out so that when you walk by, you're tempted to stop and to read it — or when someone visits your home, they see that beautiful book and fall in love. This book is 272 pages of gorgeous, sublime, unforgettable, imaginative, secret gardens that are sure to knock your socks off.

In 1898, Olive was the top student at Swanley Horticultural College and placed first on her exams with 285 points. By rights, she should have earned a spot at the RHS garden in Chiswick, £5,000, and a scholarship. But Olive was born just a bit too early because the RHS declined to recognize Olive's accomplishment since they were still an all-male institution. Women made up 10 of the top 25 test scores for 1898. So, two Marys, three Ethels, one Jessie, a Lillian, a Eunice, and an Ada, would not have been able to work at the RHS either. Olive's story was uncovered by a researcher at the RHS Lindley Library and then picked up by the BBC. The media attention led to a connection with Olive's descendants, who confirmed Olive's lifelong love of gardening. After her exam, Olive did eventually find work as a gardener. In 1901, she worked for the Cadbury family (the Cadbury's loved their gardens). Once she married in 1904, Olive stayed home to raise her family. Olive died in 1972 in Seattle.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

As broadcast November 30, 2021.  To finish the month, we mark the 20th anniversary of George Harrison's transformation to start the show.  Always referred to as "The Quiet Beatle," (he preferred "The Economy Class Beatle") he was always so much more than merely that and was truly one of the true greats of songwriting.  Following that, we let the new kids run wild with great new cuts from Stray Fossa, Freedom Fry, Haley Johnsen, and so many more that it's hard to keep our heads on straight.  #feelthegravityTracklisting:Part I (00:00)George Harrison – If Not For YouFreedom Fry – Cool When I'm With YouBUNNI – Favorite PlaceLocal Natives – More Than ThisHaley Johnsen – TimelessEd Mount – It Might Be Something Part II (33:56)Darius - FADED (ft Amaria)HATT - Sad AffairELOHIM – Don't Kick MeBye Benesco - Devl EyesCYAMO - Anywhere You GoJames Chatburn - HowlingPart III (62:00)Tired Cossack – MachinaStray Fossa – HeartbeatsFleur Electra - Lucky PennyIssac Winemiller - Anything At AllLotus Bliss - Cerebral LoveMoodring - PoisonPart III (93:13)Chase Zera – JealousDaniel Allan - Feel Like That (with Idarose)Dyan Valdes - Be My RevolutionDifficult Subject - Wave Of EuphoriaFieh - Telephone GirlLou Beauty - Bank Account

In Part 2 of our 50th episode of Hit Parade, we go back 50 years, celebrating the semicentennial of the year when, critics claim, “music changed everything.” The Quiet Beatle became the Favorite Beatle, when Mick Jagger sang lyrics even he regrets, when Carole King graduated from songwriter to singer-songwriter, and commercial juggernaut, when blaxploitation took over the charts and the Oscars, and when the radio was somehow awash in Osmonds. It wasn't a perfect year—but Hit Parade host Chris Molanphy is fond of '71 for personal reasons.  Podcast production by Asha Saluja with help from Rosemary Belson.

It seems almost unfathomable, but this past week would’ve been George Harrison’s 78th birthday, almost 20 years after his body exited the material world. In honor of that melancholy milestone, Tony & T.J. do a deep dish into his last album of new material, 2002’s Brainwashed; much of which was recorded as George knew he was dying. It’s a poignant, beautiful record, which gets its proper due here, but of course doesn’t stop the Untitled Duo from their usual insane diversions; including, but not limited to: The not-so Quiet Beatle taking on those perpetual #prannies, Oasis Thinkin' about girls at church  The Grammys' favorite band (and #prannies favorite band, too): Toto And, a hot take on blues legend Robert Cray: COVID denier? (Disclaimer: he’s not. Unless he is. Oh shit is he?)  LINKS: Check out this week's Pandora playlist Subscribe here, or anywhere you get your podcasts Share your favorite George tunes and memories on Facebook.

We're three for four with solo Beatles with this one! In the early 80's the "Quiet Beatle" had even less than usual to say, but still had an album left on his record deal. And so in 1982 he dropped Gone Troppo (meaning "On Vacation") and promptly shoved off out of the music business for five years. Historically maligned as unlistenable dross, we're giving this one a fair shot at last. So grab a big floppy hat, slather on some Bain de Soleil, and join in the tropics. The Gone Tropics!

Hi everyone! I am Georgiana, founder of speakenglishpodcast.com. My mission is to help you speak English fluently. Today I’ll talk about the most famous band in the world. The Beatles! And you’ll practice your speaking with a funny mini-story. Have you ever listened to The Beatles? Actually, let me rephrase that. When was the first time you listened to a Beatles song? The Beatles are probably the most popular band in the history of music. They are considered by many to be the best band on Earth. The band was undoubtedly the most successful, with global sales exceeding 1.1 billion records. They were initially famous for their light pop music, although their later works achieved a combination of popular and critical acclaim perhaps unprecedented in the 20th century. Beatlemania began in the UK and exploded after The Beatles appeared on a popular TV show in the US in 1964. The band became a worldwide phenomenon with adoring fans and hysterical adulation. The members of the group were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, all from England.  John Lennon was a singer-songwriter and peace activist who co-founded The Beatles. Paul McCartney is a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. He has gained worldwide fame as a bassist and singer.

Beginning in 1978, George Harrison became drawn into a vocation he'd only dabbled in previously: filmmaker. HandMade Films came into being serendipitously, simply because he wanted to see Monty Python's Life of Brian get made. This "accidental studio" went on to produce work of staggeringly high quality, resulting in works ranging from Time Bandits and The Long Good Friday to Mona Lisa and Withnail and I. (Also: Shanghai Surprise.)      The story of George's cinematic career has now been told, in a new documentary produced by AMC UK: An Accidental Studio. My guests today are two of the documentary's producers and directors, Bill Jones and Ben Timlett. Join us for this discussion of a surprisingly sturdy cinematic legacy, brought to us by the Quiet Beatle.

A second visit with fan favorite Dr. Kit O'Toole.      Following on from last week's "Concert for George" show, the WTWF guys (+ one special guest gal) consider the intertwining relationships between George Harrison, Eric Clapton and Ravi Shankar.       Ultimately, everything we know about the public and private life of "The Quiet Beatle" was influenced by one, the other or both of these two gentlemen.        We then expand the scope and play amateur psychologist, doing a compare and contrast covering George's friendships with his mentor and his "brother from another mother" to the what we know of his that with the two songwriting Beatles, and even each of his partners in marriage.
