Mike Solof - Off The Beatle Track - Episode 44 (2019)

This episode of 'Off The Beatle Track' has come personally recommended by Mike himself as one of his favourites. Older visitors to the blog might recall a US comedy show from the late 70's called 'WKRP In Cincinnati', about a small local radio station. I remember it fondly, and have gone back and watched a few episodes of it here after Mike jogged my memory about it. This show is his tribute to the series, and the whole show was done as if by DJ Venus Flytrap, who is being forced to do a daytime show (he was usually the midnight to 6am DJ) because construction work was being done on the toilets at night. So he brings his mellowness to the daytime shift and decides to do an all jazz Beatles show. It was one of Mike's favourites to do, not only because of the comedy which he loved doing (as well as slowing down his voice), but because he found so many cool jazzy Beatles tunes to fill it with.
