Mulligan Stew May 30th 2026-Saluting The White Album

May 30, 1968, following a long trip to India and back, The Beatles met at EMI Studios in  London and began recording the first of 30 songs for what would become The White Album (officially called The Beatles).

While they were living in India, they studied Transcendental  Meditation with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and wrote 19 of the songs they would record. The White Album is considered by many to be one of the best albums ever recorded. Playing four of those songs for you. Donors with the correct mantra get 5.
