When the Beatles founded Apple Records in 1968, it was with the hope of discovering, signing, and nurturing new talent. Among the artists signed in the label's early days were Billy Preston, Mary Hopkin, James Taylor, and Badfinger. You'll get a sizable helping of those early Apple sides on this week's program. Other sweet sounds are by Irish musician Phil Coulter and Belgian jazz harmonica virtuoso Toots Thielemans.
