Happy Birthday Ritchie Blackmore. This is amazing video….It was just released last year from the Deep Purple vaults it looks like a home movie with board-fed sound of Deep Purple playing in Japan in 1972. Blackmore’s guitar work is FANTASTIC !

On this day on March 9th, 1970, Paul McCartney quit the Beatles. The news was announced to the world the next day. Here’s a great interview from the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) with McCartney talking about how he felt when John Lennon died and why the Beatles broke up.
