Welcome back to Great Day Washington.
It's time for the Morning Mix.
Beatles legend Paul McCartney is
getting some help to find his
long lost favorite bass guitar.
McCartney bought a Hofner 500
Slash 1 in Germany in 1961.
The instrument is featured in
several iconic early Beatles
songs including Twist and Shout,
Love Me Do and She Loves You.
However, it's been missing since 1969.
Now a group called the Lost Bass Project
has launched A worldwide search to find it.
The group, comprised of Beatles
fans and researchers say hundres
of new leads have already poure.
This is crazy. This is really c.
You know, he bought that guitar,
I think it's at 30 pounds,
which is about $38 way back whe.
Who knows how much it'll be worth today.
And
as these those songs that you h,
I mean, that's what it's on.
They played at Abbey Road.
It's been in so many iconic
places and they don't.
It just vanished. It just vanis.
Like I was sure I was trying tod
them like did you know somebody,
They know somebody stole it or whatever.
It just vanished.
And they've been getting, yeah,
they've been getting some leads,
but most of them not turning into anything.
But they're calling this like search,
not an investigation.
I read that. Yeah, they don't want people.
They want people to be forthcom.
Right. We won't tell on you.
Yeah, just help us get it back.l
right. A new collaboration betwn
Megan the Stallion and Cardi B s
coming out this Friday, September 8th.
The new track can be pre saved
now on Spotify and Apple Music.
The song Bongos is the second sg
that these two have done togethr
after this 2020 smash hit of*
which got a lot of controversy.
She joked there that this performance,
you know, they might get sued by the FCC.
So I am really curious what this
next collaboration is going to .
These two women push the enveloe
and are unapologetic
for it. Yes. And it paid off for them.
I mean that was a very popular .
We shall see. It's very interes.
I'm up to though, I know it is.n
you had WHOP as your first
collaboration together.
Yeah, I'm I'm, it's not really y
genre that I listen to all the .
But like their hits that they h,
I enjoy them. So catchy.
They are very catchy.
Give them that. That's right.
Well, today is the last chance to visit
Amelia Earhart's 1937 Cord Convertible
Phaeton sedan on the National M.
It's part of the Cars at the
Capitol exhibition at the
Smithsonian American History Mu.
Then starting tomorrow,

You can find both cars in betwen
the American History Museum
and the USDA building.
The display is free to visit.
Sweet looking cars. No. Beautif.
You know, I used to go to car
shows with my dad all the time,
so that brings back great
memories and it's so fun to wat.
It's free.
Yeah.
And I think this weekend they're
also going to have some activits
for kids and things to do.
So I hope people go check that .
That's really cool and kind of
just learning the history of these cars.
I mean, not only Amelia Earhart's car,
but then a perfect opportunity o
teach your kids about Amelia Eat
and then to have the first Pors,
you know, one of the first ones.
It's it's if you're.
Even if you're not a car connoisseur,
it's a really cool thing to
be able to see in person.
Touch it, if you can touch it.
I don't know if you touch it, Al
right. Also seen in DC,
this is a grown man pushing an
oversized pig down the street in a cart.
Sort of like a stroller. Yeah.
The viewer spotted the scene ins
Navy Yard community and word hat
that this pig is a beloved fixte
in the neighborhood is no smallg
that will give you a double tak,
triple take, like what is
it that's no small pig.
And he looked. It looks heavy.
Yeah, isn't it?
He's really pushing hard.
I saw this on on Lying
this weekend and it's one of the
kind of we just had Adam Longo
verifying videos and like is ths
actually happening? You know.
But it was coming from a Washinn
count that it's pretty credible.
Like, what is going
on? Yeah, but knowing that

the neighborhood mascot.
We need to do a little bit more digging.
