Things We Said Today #430 –  A Whole Lotta News & a talk with Ron Griffiths

     In Episode 430 of Things We Said Today Ken Michaels, Allan Kozinn and Darren DeVivo speak with Ron Griffiths, an original member of the Apple band the Iveys (which became Badfinger) about the band’s history and the newly released collection of demos, “How Much Is the Sky.” There is also plenty of news (and discussion): the news segment runs from 2’20” to 33’32”; our chat with Ron follows.      Here are links to some things Ken mentioned in the news:      Paul Myers Record Store Day Podcast: https://recordstoreday.com/CustomPage/9207      John "Buzz" Bezzini's Blog Post: https://www.beatlesbookstore.com/category/buzzs-beatles-book-blog/      FeedSpot:  https://www.feedspot.com/fs/about      And last but not least -- in past episodes, we have mentioned a Go Fund Me pages set up to raise money for another member of Badfinger, Joey Molland, to cover his medical expenses.
