Love and Mersey
Episode 16- Ostensibly Irish
Hosted by Gil McLean- Welcome to Episode 16. This is ordinarily a podcast for music lovers who are fans of music and bands influenced by the Beatles & Beach Boys... but for the second episode in a row, I am going specialty.
My original intent was to focus on a bunch of Irish Music for this episode in honor of March and St. Patrick's Day, as well as discuss the various Celtic/Irish influences that made their way into the solo careers of John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Well, I got to the latter, but the former went off the rails a little bit.
Well this just gives me an excuse to do another Irish Episode next year!
