Christian dives into Martin Acoustic Guitars with&nbsp;GRAMMY-Award winning guitarist&nbsp;Laurence Juber, who&nbsp;shares his personal experience playing a Dreadnought guitar. &nbsp;Laurence Juber is a solo performer, recording artist, composer and arranger. His playing fuses folk, jazz, blues, pop and classical styles, creating a multi-faceted performance that belies the use of only one instrument. Internationally recognized as lead guitarist in Beatle Paul McCartney's Wings, Juber has since established himself as world-renowned guitar virtuoso and entertainer. Laurence&nbsp;released his latest album 'LJ Can't Stop Playing the Beatles' on March 3 this year. Stream or download wherever you listen to great music. In 1833, guitar maker Christian Frederick Martin crossed the ocean in search of freedom from restriction and the opportunities of a new land. Settling in Nazareth, PA, his arrival marked the beginning of what is now a 6-generation continuously family owned and operated company, C.F. Martin &amp; Co., and a tradition of American guitar building. One of Martin's greatest contributions to our musical landscape was its 1916 introduction of the Dreadnought style guitar. Named after the game changing British war ship, the HMS Dreadnought, this large-bodied, powerful acoustic guitar still thrives today. It is a primary tool of countless musicians, and a mainstay in the factories and shops of guitar builders around the globe. At NAMM’s Museum of Making Music, based in Carlsbad, CA, you can visit this unique special exhibition and experience the Dreadnought for yourself. Discover its fascinating story, hear its iconic sound and ponder its far-reaching impact. Oh, and don't forget to take a seat on the couch try some out for yourself! The special gallery is available to visitors now through April 31. Head to https://www.museumofmakingmusic.org/exhibits/dreadnought&nbsp;for more info.

This week we have an extra special episode with 2&nbsp;Deadicated guests! The first&nbsp;is photographer and author Rosie McGee, who lived, worked and traveled with the Grateful Dead during their first decade as a band, after first meeting them late in 1965. &nbsp;Her intimate portraits of the band, onstage and behind the scenes, have been widely seen in books, magazines, online and in documentaries; and 200 of those photos illustrate her book, “Dancing with the Dead—A Photographic Memoir: My Good Old Days with the Grateful Dead &amp; the San Francisco Music Scene 1964-1974.” For more on Rosie and to buy photos head to www.rosiemcgee.com. The other guest is Bob Bralove.&nbsp;Bob was part of the Grateful Dead party for the last eight years of the band's existence. Brought into the fold from his work with Stevie Wonder, he brought the then new digital synthesizer technology to the Grateful Dead. &nbsp;Bringing new sounds and approaches to the music, first heard on "In the Dark", Bralove's relationship with band grew rapidly. He began writing songs, (Way to go Home, Easy Answers, Picasso Moon) producing records and eventually playing in that section of the show between Drums and Space, when no one was on stage; the section Dick Latvalla dubbed the "MIDI Jam". Since the end of the Grateful Dead, Bralove has been focusing on his own music and art , including his duo with Grateful Dead Keyboardist Tom Constanten called Dose Hermanos.

The Rock N Roll Archaeologist discusses The Beatles’ rooftop concert held fifty years ago this week with audience member and ex-U.S. manager for Apple Corp, Ken Mansfield. Aka: “The Man in the White Coat”. Ken has just released his book, “The Roof: The Beatles Final Concert, published by Post Hill Press. HE WAS THERE! Apple Records former US manager Ken Mansfield takes a touching and comprehensive look back on one of Rock ’n’ Roll’s most significant events, while bringing an insider’s perspective to the days leading up to those 42 fascinating minutes of the Beatles monumental Rooftop Concert. There are moments in time that cause us to stop and take notice of where we were and what we were doing when they happen in order to commit the experience to memory—how it made us feel, who was there with us, why it felt important. January 30, 1969 was one of those moments. There are those who were on the periphery of the event that day and heard what was going on; but as one of the few remaining insiders who accompanied the Beatles up onto the cold windswept roof of the Apple building, Ken Mansfield had a front row seat to the full sensory experience of the moment and witnessed what turned out to be beginning of the end. Ken shares in The Roof: The Beatles Final Concert, the sense that something special was taking place before his eyes that would live on forever in the hearts and souls of millions. As the US manager of Apple, Ken Mansfield, was on the scene in the days, weeks, and months leading up to this monumental event. He shares his insights into the factors that brought them up onto that roof and why one of the greatest bands of all time left it all on that stage. Join Ken as he reflects on the relationships he built with the Fab Four and the Apple corps and what each player meant to this symphony of music history. More on Ken here: http://www.mainmansfield.com Get the book:  https://www.amazon.com/Roof-Beatles-Final-Concert-ebook/dp/B07JMFB5RT/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ken+mansfield&amp;qid=1547929762&amp;sr=8-1 You can support the show by wearing cool rock n roll gear from TeePublic:&nbsp;https://www.teepublic.com/stores/rocknroll&nbsp;  Call us at 650-822-ROCK or email at: info@rocknrollarchaeology.com
