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.
