Ladies and gentlemen, here are not the Beatles.

Hat tip, WTOP HD-3, "The Gamut," which just played the song.

I thought, "who is that?" The RDS tag came up with the answer. They have an online playlist too. Look at 3:17 p.m. for Tuesday, Aptil 23, 2024.

{edited} I don't know if you can listen to "The Gamut" online. Radio Garden does not pick them up; at least, not the last time I looked.

Oh, never mind. They're online.

Anyway, here's what they played:

This is another Lennon/McCartney tune that the Beatles never recorded. Given to Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas. I think he cut out a verse.

Another one? Sure.

This is a Lennon/McCartney tune that the Beatles never recorded. It was given to one of Brian Epstein's other groups under management... Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas.

got his autograph after the show. Guess that is as close as I'll ever come to the Beatles!

(BTW, of all the performers I've met at autograph sessions over the years, BJK was second only to Chad & Jeremy for his utter lack of interest in making nice with fans.)
