Okay, we are alive. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show.

I have a very special guest. He goes by the Sage of Quay, Q-U-A-Y. He's also known as Mike Williams, and a great scholar.

Really, I call him a scholar about the Beatles and so much about the Beatles, not just about Paul and Fall, but so many other things.

And I was trying to get in, kind of get around his arms around all his research.

It was very hard, but I listened to a lot of his shows on YouTube, and you'll see his website here.

So I'll put a link to his website, sageofquay.com and also his YouTube channel.

And just wonder, just amazing stuff about the Beatles and I've

titled this one the masonic machinery behind the creation of the Beatles because it's such an

interesting phenomenon and we as growing up as a Beatles fan you go back wide album and so many

influences but you never I never think them what's going on behind the

curtains so to speak and there's a lot going on there's a lot about the Beatles and uh Mike knows a lot

of it and I've come across so many of his talks just researching myself like some of these

other he's just one of those people who always keeps popping up with

the Beatles like a pop background but he's done it's yet we were talking to pre-show eight years of

research into the Beatles but he can talk more about that so mike williams welcome to the show well

you thank you so much for the invite I greatly appreciate it yeah so for people who may not have

heard of you or the

sage of quay or all your research, maybe you can just kind of introduce people to how you got

started looking into the Beatles and this amount of research and interviews you've collected

over the last eight years. Well, I should start by saying that growing up, I was a beetle freak. And I was born in

1959, and as early as 1968, I was on my parents to take me to the movie theater to go see

Yellow Submarine. That's how much I knew about the Beatles at the age of nine.
