NOTES:

This classic Lennon McCartney song has always been important to me personally.

It was the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding reception.

And unfortunately the song we carried her out of the church to at her funeral.

I have sung the song many times over the years since I first heard it in the 60’s.

Always thought it was John Lennon’s masterpiece … and then he wrote Imagine.

Some lovely piano playing on this track by David Chester, originally it was a duo.

Hope you enjoy our version of this wonderful tune … this one’s for you Judy.

NOTES:

The guitar playing on this track is magnificent … from one end to the other.

The whole band gets into a wonderful groove in the ending.

And Dennis gives a nod of respect to The Beatles on our way out.

A challenge to sing but lots of lovely moments … reaching for whatever you got.

Was going to go back and “fix” this or that but just decided to leave it alone.

May not be perfect … but then nothing is.

NOTES:

We recorded this song in about 20 minutes. Suddenly one of the musicians announced he had to go but we convinced him to stay for a few more minutes.

Have always loved this tune and wanted to try it a little differently with a shuffle for fun … but we had never ever played the song together before.

So I shouted out instructions as best I could until Al started counting us in.

We played it through once and it came off not bad … couple of mistakes.

Quickly called out where we went wrong as Al stated counting us in again.

And that was it! … hard to believe we got what we got … the organ is stunning!

A comment on just how good these players are … never cease to amaze me.

We overdubbed the background vocals later … a fun song … hope you enjoy.
