This is a huge achievement, so to celebrate, on this episode, which we call The Birthday Episode, we look at some famous artists and their birthdays.

First, we talk about the incredible Joni Mitchell November 7, 1943), who at 78, seems to be making a significant comeback!

roll... Neil Young Archives

Finally, we look at the opening (or birth) of the most famous recording studio in the world, at 3 John Street in London. That studio, which was bought in 1929 and opened its doors in 1931. Sir Edward Elgar recorded his famous "Land Of Hope And Glory" there in 1931, but we know it because of The Fab Four.
