All The Leaves Are Brown - The Mamas and The Papas - Scott Shea
The Not Old Better Show, Music Today Interview Series
Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and today's show is brought to you by Babbel.com. Babbel…the language for life!
We have a fantastic interview and subject today with our guest, author Scott Shea, whom I'll introduce in just a moment.
But quickly, if you missed any episodes, last week was our 723d episode when we spoke with psychologist Dr. Jennifer Guttman about her new book, Beyond Happiness: The 6 Secrets of Lifetime Satisfaction. Two weeks ago, I spoke with Editor-in-Chief at Prevention Magzaine, Sarah Smith. Prevention Magazine has been a leading provider of trustworthy health information, empowering readers with practical strategies to improve their physical, mental, and emotional well-being for 70 years! Excellent subjects for our Not Old Better Show audience.

You can Google Not Old Better and get everything you need about us!
For our Not Old Better Show audience on radio and podcast, we know that there are only a few songs that have captured the contradictions and ambiguities of the 1960s as memorably as "California Dreamin'," the iconic folk music single that catapulted the Mamas & the Papas into rock and roll history. In the book, All the Leaves Are Brown, our guest today, author Scott Shea will tell us how John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Michelle Phillips, and "Mama Cass" Elliot became standard-bearers for California counterculture following their transformation from folk music wannabes to rock sensations and chronicling the tumultuous events that followed their unexpected success.
Scott Shea gives us a definitive account of the Mamas and the Papa's short time together, from their hitmaking approach with legendary producer
