This threw me into a fit of nostalgia for having seen Help at the Orpheum theater on State Street in 1965, with a beautiful woman who later broke my heart. What is scary is that it was 61 years ago. Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana.
I’m gonna over-share for a minute. My girlfriend and I have almost everything in common, except for music. And even though we grew up in different countries and different generations, we agree on The Beatles. Once a week I’ll record (acoustic guitar and vocals) one of their tunes and send it to her in the morning. I’ve been doing that every ‘morning’ recently, because…
Two weeks ago she went overseas to visit her father, a petroleum consultant in Abu Dhabi. Yup. She’s scared shitless and is trying desperately to leave, but so are thousands of others. The island his condo is on (al Reem) has been hit once and there are constant air raid warning at night.
Anyway, I just finished ‘Mother Natures Son’ and hope it will find her well in a few hours when she wakes up…

Nicely done!
The new Everly Brothers.
I’ve been following them for a while. Fine guitar work and excellent vocals!!
I think ‘Another Girl’ is their best…
Mario had more talent than the kids.
Thank you, Althouse, for calling this to my attention.
"The Night Before" is pretty ggod, too.
I noticed these guys through TikTok.
“Another Girl” sounds great, worth a deeper dive!
I used to do something similar with an old friend who could play just about any instrument and songs by ear. A lotta fun!
’I noticed these guys through TikTok.’
They appeared on my Instagram feed a few months ago. Their dad was in a Beatles tribute band and I guess they got the bug. :)

Thank you, now I’m enjoying them, too.
Very good, and yet another reminder of how uniquely gifted the actual Beatles were.
I enjoy them as well. YouTube is actually pretty amazing all around.
