Welcome to Stroll Down Penny Lane, where we celebrate the life and music of Paul McCartney. In this series we investigate the creation stories behind his songs. We discover that there is often an autobiographical aspect to his songs. And in our examination of his compositions, we also discover what it is that causes such an immediate connection with his music. We are a proud part of Pantheon, the podcast network for music lovers.
