For the benefit of Mr. Carroll, it’s Part 2 of our Beatles and Alice in Wonderland extravaganza! We discuss the connections between Paul, George, Ringo and Alice, having explored Lewis Carroll’s influence on John Lennon in Part 1. What early, carefree Beatles ditty does Paul McCartney credit to Lewis Carroll’s influence? What do George Harrison and Cheshire Cat have in common? What mid-80s Carrollian musical included both George and honorary nephew Julian Lennon? We’ll answer all these questions, hear some great music and last but certainly not least, examine Ringo Starr’s dramatic turn as the Mock Turtle in a 1985 TV special. No horses dance the waltz, but a splendid time is guaranteed for all!
