Wow...it's not enough that the Beatles could put SO much together as a group from basically 1963-1969, but the solo works are also astounding. A critic, in fact, commented that after the "break-up" that the works would be multiplied by 3.5 times ( a playful snap at the drummer Ringo). To a degree, the man had a valid point.

especially after we rehash and argue my four "picks"...one per member. Agree with me. Disagree with me. Hey, help yourself! In this debate, NOBODY could possibly lose.

Strap on the headphones. What fun!

John performs "Jealous Guy" from "Imagine". This is an emotional, introspective all-time classic.

Ringo does "It Don't Come Easy". Mark knows how much I loved my father (Mark did too). The first song that was tuned in on dad's big Caddy after Toledo, on the way back from his one-and-only vacation from FLA in 1973 was RINGO! We both loved it. My "Renaissance" pop and me!

Paul McCartney. Always loved "Uncle Albert, Admiral Halsey". Typically "pop" Paul. Not meant derisively. After all, who would truly be your "KING OF POP"? Paul or a pedophile?

Finally, this one is a bit lengthy. The LATE, GREAT George Harrison. The focus is on "All Things Must Pass", (the song, not the album) but we had to include George's narrative here with regard to the album, and a tribute to "Wah Wah". I loved George's comments about "I grew up with a microphone and a tape recorder and I was very comfortable with that" (look at the practices within the ailing "industry today, for a striking and disturbing contrast, non stop "sampling", which I view as out-and-out theft, but don't tell that to the "Chiffons"...) George thought Spector's approach was too "echo"y, and there is a lot of truth in that, but, what an awesome sound! Phil Spector is a disgrace close to the level of O.J. Simpson, but the "wall of sound" was actually pretty cool, wasn't it?

These cuts and pastes BETTER WORK!

Good evening, or is it morning?

Whatever...God Bless.
