We were one of the first English bands to live together like that. We thought we’d try it and see if anything came of it. I remember the day very clearly: A bunch of friends came over early in the day and we had quite a party. It was sunny and the corn was coming up nicely around the cottage, and we were quite enjoying ourselves, if you know what I mean. As things finally wound down in the evening, I was sitting around just doodling, as I would often do, drawing this character. It was this little fellow with a spiked sun hat. He was holding some puppeteer’s strings, and the puppet hands on the end of the strings were playing a guitar. Under that I just scribbled some words: ‘Dear Mr. Fantasy,’ play us a tune, something to make us all happy’ and on a bit. It was nice, but I didn’t think much of it; certainly, it wasn’t intended to be a song.\"\n\n“I crashed out eventually, but I remember hearing Steve and Chris playing around after. The next day, I woke up and found that they’d written a song around the words 'Dear Mr. Fantasy' and a drawing I’d done. I was completely knocked out by it. Chris wrote that great bass line. We added some more words later and worked out a bigger arrangement, too. Those were very happy days for Traffic.” - Jim Capaldi\"\n\nhttps://www.stevewinwood.com/", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3588448, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588448/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-08T10:01:25-08:00", "show": 65323, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65323/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Here, There and Everywhere", "track_id": "561bfd57-de2f-3e40-880a-28b759777ef2", "recording_id": "0bc0d92b-5b30-4f51-9da0-6164bbf7f448", "artist": "The Beatles", "artist_ids": [ "b10bbbfc-cf9e-42e0-be17-e2c3e1d2600d" ], "album": "Revolver", "release_id": "1346c77f-3f2e-36ed-bc95-fde8c946f986", "release_group_id": "72d15666-99a7-321e-b1f3-a3f8c09dff9f", "labels": [ "Apple Records" ], "label_ids": [ "cf7fc5cf-e011-4ef4-b511-cd0188537910" ], "release_date": "2009-09-09", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "“Here, There And Everywhere” is Paul McCartney’s favorite of his own compositions as well as the only song John Lennon ever complimented his songwriting abilities on.
