KIND OF A NATURAL PROGRESSION TO GO INTO DIRECTING SO, I WAS LIKE, "YEAH.
HE SAID HE WAS DOING A A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT ABBEY ROAD, "90 YEARS OF ABBEY ROAD.
Jimmy: YEAH I HAD NO IDEA THAT ABBEY ROAD WAS 90-YEARS-OLD.
Jimmy: YEAH THE REASON I REALLY WANTED TO DO IT WAS A FUNNY REASON AS
WELL, WAS THERE'S A PICTURE THAT I SAW IN A BOOK IN ABBEY ROAD OF MY MOM LEADING A
A PONY ACROSS THIS UPPER CROSSING IN THE '70s OH, YOU --

AND SHE'S LIKE, "LET'S TAKE --" THE PONIES CALLED 'JET.'" SHE WAS LIKE, "LET'S TAKE JET TO
WORK." Jimmy: SO YOU JUST GONNA TAKE A PONY TO WORK.

I KIND OF BRING THIS IN -- THIS IS IN THE BEGINNING. HE SAYS, "I DON'T THINK HE
DISGRACED HIMSELF EITHER." [ LAUGHTER ] Jimmy: NO, YEAH
NO, HE IS FANTASTIC. AND ALSO, IT'S LIKE PINK'S -- PINK FLOYD "DARK SIDE OF THE
MOON" WAS RECORDED THERE Jimmy: YEAH ALL OF THE -- LIKE, ALL OF
THE JOHN WILLIAMS I INTERVIEW. ALL OF -- LIKE "INDIANA JONES. BECAUSE STUDIO ONE IS THE BIG
CLASSICAL SPACE. AND THAT WAS IN DANGER OF CLOSING DOWN, BECAUSE ALL OF
THE MAIN CLASSICAL RECORDINGS HAD DONE AND BUSINESS WAS DRYING UP.
SO, THEY WERE USING IT AS, LIKE, A BADMINTON COURT LIKE IT WAS EMPTY AND VAST
Jimmy: IS THAT RIGHT? THEY WERE GONNA -- AND THEY -- THEY WERE
LOOKING AT MAKING IT INTO A CAR PARK AND THEN THE MANAGER,
KEN TOWNSEND, FOUND OUT THAT A A STUDIO WAS CLOSING, A FILM STUDIO IN DENHAM HAD LOST ITS
LEASE. HE BROUGHT IN A CONTRACT AND QUICKLY PUT A PROJECTOR IN AND
A SCREEN AND ONE OF THE FIRST THERE WAS GEORGE LUCAS AND JOHN WILLIAMS
DOING "INDIANA JONES." Jimmy: IS THAT RIGHT? ABSOLUTELY.

ABBEY ROADS. SEE, I'M SUCH AN EXPERT NOW Jimmy: YEAH, NOW IT -

YEAH SHOULDN'T YOU KNOW? Jimmy: EVERYONE JUST CALLED
IT AS, LIKE, "OH, THAT WAS THE NICKNAME OF THE STUDIO?" IT WAS CALLED IT EMI
STUDIOS. Jimmy: UH-HUH BECAUSE IT'S PART OF EMI.
Jimmy: OKAY AND THEN EVERYONE CALLED IT ABBEY ROAD, BECAUSE IT'S ON
ABBEY ROAD AND THEN THE ALBUM MADE IT FAMOUS
AND THEN, KEN TOWNSEND, 90 -- IT DIDN'T CHANGE THE NAME UNTIL 1976
Jimmy: AFTER THE ALBUM. YEAH. Jimmy: AND YOU ACTUALLY
BROUGHT US A SKETCH THAT YOUR - I DID
Jimmy: -- THAT YOUR DAD MADE OF -- THIS IS PRETTY AWESOME IN THE DOCUMENTARY, I
INTERVIEWED RINGO, AND HE WAS LIKE, "OH, YOU KNOW. WE WERE THINKING OF GOING --
BECAUSE THE -- THE ENGINEER HAD A PACKET OF CIGARETTES CALLED EVEREST.
Jimmy: UH-HUH SO, THEY WERE LIKE, "OH, SHOULD WE GO TO THE TOP OF
EVEREST AND DO A PHOTO SHOOT, CALL IT 'EVEREST'? OR SHOULD WE GO TO, YOU KNOW,
HAWAII - Jimmy: YES, THE FINAL -- THAT'S THE BEATLES ALBUM
YEAH. Jimmy: "EVEREST" IS THE LAST ALBUM.

SO, THEY FELT THE FEELING, IT'S LIKE THIS FEELING OF WARMTH AND INSPIRATION WHEN YOU GO IN
THERE. SO, THEY ALL BROUGHT THEIR GAME
BUT THERE WAS A CUTE MOMENT WHEN I WAS SITTING WITH DAD, AND I WAS LIKE, TALKING, REALLY
WELL-RESEARCHED AND BEING REALLY PROFESSIONAL. Jimmy: YEAH
AND HE KIND OF GLAZED OVER, AND HE WAS LIKE, "OH, THAT'S MY DAUGHTER
YOU'RE LIKE A FEMALE DIRECTOR DIRECTING ME." AND I WAS LIKE -- I WAS LIKE,
"GET BACK TO WORK. Jimmy: YEAH, "HERE, COME ON, NOW, BACK TO THE STUDIO.
YEAH IT'S REALLY FASCINATING. I WANT TO SHOW EVERYONE A CLIP
THIS IS "IF THESE WALLS COULD SING." TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
I REMEMBER PLAYING ON A A BARRON KNIGHTS SESSION HERE, AND "HEY JUDE" HAD JUST COME
OUT. SO, I WAS STANDING WITH BERNIE, AND YOUR DAD CAME IN THE DOOR
AND SAID "HELLO" TO THE BARRON KNIGHTS. AND THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME I'D
EVER SEEN ANYONE THAT FAMOUS IN MY LIFE. AND I KIND OF FROZE.
AND BERNIE DID TOO AND THE BARRON KNIGHTS ASKED PAUL HOW TO PLAY "HEY JUDE" ON
THE PIANO, AND HE DID. AND I -- BERNIE AND I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT
IT'S LIKE, "OH, MY GOD WE SAW PAUL PLAY 'HEY JUDE' AT TIME THE RECORD CAME OUT."
