Blackwater 53393 Posted November 8, 2023 Posted November 8, 2023 8 hours ago, Cypress Sun said: Heard it a couple of days ago. Meh. IMO, a shameless, no doubt successful and PT Barnum type, money grab. It’s not bad. I doubt that it would be a huge hit if it weren’t The Beatles. On the other hand, that McCartney and Starr took the time and the initiative to complete the song that had been in the can in demo form for years is commendable. Getting Harrison’s track/tracks edited in and putting in the work to arrange, produce, and master it makes it a piece to be sought after. And now their first hit! 1 Quote

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 13, 2023 Posted November 13, 2023 Woke up this morning with this song rattling around in my head. John Prine wrote and recorded it first, but I think he thought of it as Bonnie’s song! Quote
Rye Miles #13621 Posted November 14, 2023 Posted November 14, 2023 Here's a real blast from the past! I must have played this a million times in different bands. This is the original from 1959 1 Quote

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 19, 2023 Posted November 19, 2023 I’m a child of the late sixties and early seventies! There was a place about an hour north of where I spent my teenage years called Paulines. This song and that place are permanently etched into my memory! Again, Blood Sweat and Tears… 3 1 Quote
Calamity Kris Posted November 19, 2023 Author Posted November 19, 2023 There is a piece by JS Bach that was interpreted by NRBQ, Capriccio, that I've been trying to get a recording of. I'm not able to find one but if you do, you'll really enjoy it. It's on their "Tapdancin' Bats" album from 1983. Quote
