Things We Said Today #404 – Denny Laine Tribute & the RPM School White Album Course

            Episode 404 is our last Things We Said Today for 2023, and it’s a long one – and something different. Catching up with the news of the last few weeks, Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren Devivo pay tribute to the late Denny Laine [04:00-33:00], followed by plenty more news [33:00-50:00], But for the main part of the show [at 50:00] we welcome the faculty of the RPM School – Walter Everett, author of the extraordinary “The Beatles As Musicians” two-volume set, Jack Petruzzelli, the multi-instrumentalist, producer and songwriter who many listeners will know as a member of the Fab Faux, and Cameron Greider, also a multi-instrumentalist and producer, who has worked with Sean Lennon and many others – who will give us a preview of their online course on the “White Album,” which starts on January 8.

            Information about the RPM School can be found at https://www.rpm-school.com/home-1. More information about the White Album course is here: https://www.rpm-school.com/
