Born May 10, 1946, today is DONOVAN's 60th birthday.
Back in the Spring of 1968, Donovan hung out with THE BEATLES in India, where he famously showed JOHN LENNON the guitar-picking style that Lennon would use on songs like "Dear Prudence" and "Julia".
Then in November of that year, Donovan hooked up with PAUL MCCARTNEY for MARY HOPKIN's "Postcard" LP, which McCartney was producing. At one point, Paul and Donovan were recorded running through a bunch of songs with acoustic guitars, including Paul's recent "Blackbird". The tape runs a little under 15 minutes. A very charming recording, in great quality.
