E'Stefano DiSanto's grandmother couldn't read or write, but she taught herself piano by ear and gave him the only three rules he still works by: diction, pronunciation, intonation. Greg sat down with him on a sold-out night at the Legacy Theatre to talk about the road from those early lessons to Las Vegas showrooms, and why he eventually stepped off the stage to start building shows instead.

Greg Rowles talks with Reuben Amaya and Jay Nixon of Britain's Finest, the internationally recognized Beatles tribute band, recorded at the Legacy Theatre in North Myrtle Beach before their performance.Reuben portrays John Lennon and has been with the group since 2014. Jay portrays Paul McCartney, and he came to the band as a right-handed player who learned bass left-handed in six months so the look and the feel would be right. The band formed in 2011.In this conversation:• What Reuben studies in John's stage presence, and why John played without his glasses• Jay discovering The Beatles through Rock Band in 2009 and building a CD collection from there• How Paul ended up with the Hofner bass by accident• Recording stories from Abbey Road, including the vocal cut in a closet• Playing International Beatle Week in Liverpool and meeting people who remember The Beatles as their local band• Why a song played 3,000 times still has something new in it

Anthony Kateridge has been in this business for 50 years. He came to see Music & Memories on a rare weekend off, sent us a message about it, and we invited him into the WGRLT Studio to talk with Greg Rowles about what he saw.What follows is a conversation between two working entertainers about live music, show tracks, and what gets lost when the band stops listening to each other.Anthony grew up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and started playing with bands at 18. He opened for The Chiffons, backed Larry Chance & the Earls, and got into acting in high school to stay out of trouble. That led to Tower Talent on Long Island, a BMG audition, and IMTA. These days he tours the Myrtle Beach area with a five-person murder mystery show that plays HOAs, country clubs, restaurants, and lodges, with his wife Margaret running live sound and sound effects from the back of the room.In this episode:The difference between a live band and a backing track, and why Anthony noticed it immediatelyRecording in one room the way The Beatles and 1960s Nashville sessions did itHow the murder mystery show came together, and the 400 uncles who became the GodfatherWhy 85 to 90 percent of the show is ad libbedMargaret's sound cues, from the Twilight Zone to a car bombTranslating a Brooklyn joke for a South Carolina audienceWhat "how you doing" actually means in New YorkTwo natives in a room of 150 people, and both of them work for AnthonyMusic & Memories plays at the Greg Rowles Legacy Theatre in North Myrtle Beach.Tickets: https://grltnmb.com/go/bcaCWdwR/Box office: (843) 663-3600701 Main St, North Myrtle Beach, SCSubscribe for more conversations from the WGRLT Studio with the performers who come through the theatre.
