Maybe you weren't able to creatively acknowledge the recent avalanche of Beatles news, re-releases and anniversaries.

Maybe you chose not to get caught up in the maze and daze of it all, or you were waiting for a better time and a better way.

Probably everything you ever wanted to know — and more importantly, some of the things you didn't know about Abbey Road and the making of the last official Beatles album — is likely to be found in this program produced by public radio's leading Rock historian, Paul Ingles.

The show gathers music experts, Beatles experts and articulate fans to remind us that Ringo actually was a genius of percussion; that the Beatles legacy would have been a completely different shade if it hadn't been for George Harrison, and that Abbey Road's list of significant innovations goes on and on and on.

There are warm sentiments for Paul's bass, John's gift for an economy of lyrics and insightful interpretations of what really happens at the end of "I Want You (She's so Heavy)."

As is the case with most other Paul Ingles' programs, "A Spin Down Abbey Road" lets your listeners sit at the table of a fun, fascinating and intriguing discussion.

Moby talks with Tracey Tanenbaum about his quest to write mournful music that is "vulnerable, enduring and beautiful."

From his latest pursuit of that ideal, he produced his 2009 recording, "Wait for Me." Moby is a highly inventive composer, player and also a worthy talker and wordsmith. In this edition of A Musician’s Life, he puts a human spin on his own music-making process that non-musicians can easily contemplate and process.

As in the recent Ben Lee portrait from this series, Moby openly addresses modern-day music economics. He recounts the licensing and over licensing of his seminal recording "Play" (1999). Moby's music beds heard frequently under advertisements generated worldwide awareness of his music and led to cries of "sellout" from sideline critics. It's a tag he accepts and regrets, but it does not necessarily keep him up at night.

An honest musician and storyteller in an honest radio snapshot from WXPN's Tracey Tanenbaum.

The series, A Musician’s Life, is worthy of consideration for a multi-part series (daily, weekly or monthly) on your station.

John Diliberto profiles the ensemble Qntal, whose sound fuses music and instruments of old with sounds and instruments of today.

I guess this would be what techies call a "mash up," with its union of 20th century gothic rock, ancient German and Latin texts intoned over a sonic tapestry of warm, dark, mysterious moods and an ever present beat.

Qntal follows the one successful habit of all great composers and ensembles: know which rules to follow but in all other areas, the possibilities are endless.

An excellent introduction and feature for music lovers not necessarily beholden to a single musical category.

More nice work from John, Kimberly et al, now celebrating their 20th anniversary as the producers of Echoes.

I confess…I don't know what Elvis Presley's place is on public radio.

Will Elvis and a musically splendid Elvis Documentary fit on your station? How about a sweaty Elvis?

The Elvis jump to public radio might be a big leap, but if you're up to it, this program offers all of the public radio dream elements. There's the music and storytelling, including the stories and memories of the TV producer, the musicians on camera, and an adoring fan. Find out how it was seen, heard and felt by the world at large.

But the program’s gem is the story of a near washed up superstar's sensational overnight comeback.

Before everything else, Elvis was a rock and roll king. The 1968 TV special made that clear, and this radio special from Joyride Media tells that story in an energetic, incredibly musical and sweaty kind of way.
