In 1964 the British invaded, Motown got moving, and music would never be the same again. On this episode we want to hold hands with a year that truly revolutionized rock and roll, R&B, and folk, as the times they were a-changin'. We're joined by comedian Rich Baker (www.daretofailimprov.com) and our cohosts from "Playing By Ear", Ami Lief and Kyle Lieberman, to take a bow like The Beatles on Ed Sullivan for our favorite songs from this incredible era.

Guest podcaster and misfit toy Case Aiken (Another Pass, Men of Steel) joins us to sing the praises (and carols) of this Christmas classic.
