Summer's gone. Miss it already.

But, we've got a really great show in "I Love the Company" today. I had a conversation with one music legend about one of his long-time friends... another music legend. You're not gonna wanna miss this one, and you're probably gonna wanna tell your friends to check it out as well.

It's just the first part of a very intimate conversation I had yesterday with Sid Berstein, the man who brought The Beatles to America. With a songwriter that I admire, Paul McCartney, being in the news so much these days over something as ugly as a nasty divorce, I thought I'd go right to the source and ask somone who knows the man and calls him a friend.

Here... turn on your speakers and click on this logo to hear the show.

Or, download it to listen to whenever you want.

My musical guest on today's show is the beautiful and talented rock n roll girl form the west coast... Beth Thornley. (AS always, click on her photo to visit her Podsafe page.)

(I thought one of her tunes had a definitely McCartney-like vibe in the chord changes, so she made it onto today's special show.)

I'd love to know what you think after you've listened to the show, Here... use one of these numbers to call and leave a message or a comment... or just to say "Hey".

Okay... FREE STUFF! Here's a FREE download. I'd really like to hear from you about it. It's a song about one of the greatest engines of human conflict ever devised, click on this photo to get the song! It's "The Religion Song" and it's brand new. I played it in Central Park this summer... and it's getting some reaction around the internet. People are emailing and calling in from all over about this one.

Okay, before I get outta here I'm gonna ask you all to check out the MySpace page. And, when you do I'd like you to sign up as a friend. I'm very new on the damned thing. But, I'm really exploring the whole MySpace thing to see if it's gonna be fun and worth the effort.
