She Walks In Beauty - My Quest For The Bigger Picture, Jim McCarty & Dave Thompson https://www.lulu.com/en/en/shop/dave-... Was privileged to have another conversation with Hall of Fame Drummer from The Yardbirds, Jim McCarty. He shared some stories that were in his book which is about Jim's wife Elisabeth, who passed away in June of 2020 and his attempts to contact her in the afterlife. We get into some interesting conversations including one in where a medium told him about Charlie Watts months before his death as this interview was taken a week after he died. Life is short and before we know it we're at the end of it. What we do before then is up to us to make it a better place for ourselves and our societies.

Was going through some old computer hard-drives when I found my interview with Dr Delbert Blair from 2009.

This was 6 years before I started talking about the "strange and unusual" as a weekly topic.

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I met Dr Blair but I've always been open to different topics of discussion on my radio show.

What Dr Blair talks about in this interview is extremely relevant to today.

Since this was done in 2009, I started the interview off with a question about Dec 21, 2012, a day that was predicted to be the end of the world.

Was Dr Blair correct in his assessment of what would happen in 3 years? Press play to find out.
