Up on the roof

The World

Fifty years ago this week The Beatles gave their last concert on the roof of their offices at Apple Records. Portions of the concert appeared in the film “Let it Be.” The fab four gave a 42-minute concert from the rooftop.  It was a bitterly cold day … much like today. We close out today’s show on the roof and host Marco Werman brings along his violin.
