Thanks, I'm having a blast.
Phil Collins was one of the screaming kids used in the studio audience in the filming of "A Hard Day's Night." This was something I didn't know until the AFI started their push to raise money to restore classic films and they used Phil Collins to host the segment on "A Hard Day's Night." He displayed a wonderful freeze-fame of himself in the screaming thong of teens at the filming.
I absolutely love the second question, because Delbert McClinton is one of the coolest people in the biz. McClinton played harmonica backup to a ton of old blues front men, and one of those songs (I think it was "Hey Baby" but I could be wrong on that) hit No. 1 in England and resulted in a British tour. It was during that tour he met John Lennon and gave him some harmonica tips that John added immediately to "Love Me Do."
