It's Good Friday and the sun is shining so it would be rude not to pick it.

Master Lennon turned 58 yesterday.
In 1984 this became the first of his two #6 UK hits, the other being Saltwater in 1991.

Interesting pick this week I think - definitely a break from the norm, as not one of the Beatles tunes artists generally cover.
Because today would have been Gerry Rafferty's 74th birthday (d'ya see what I did there? ).

Strangely haunting, harmonic ditty that was the B side of 'Ticket to Ride.
John once described this as "an attempt to rewrite 'This Boy' that didn't quite work".

Nice one Bern.
And Happy Birthday to Barb who shared her day with my daft old Ma who was delivered (see what I did there ) in Bootle 110 years ago tomorrow.

Just discovered that today is 'Global Beatles Day'! Hadn't even realised such a thing existed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Beatles_Day
The date was chosen as, on this date in 1967 The Beatles performed "All You Need Is Love" live on the TV program "Our World", which was beamed around the globe.
The single topped the chart for 5 weeks.

One from the early days when they still did cover versions on their albums (this a Chuck Berry tune).

Love that one Bern thanks. Amuses me that I can still remember the words to all the early songs when I couldn't remember the poetry I needed for exams around the same time... good job I loved Shakespeare or I'd never have passed Eng Lit
