Thanks Bee
For this week, happy 79th birthday to Sir Tom Jones. According to an article (link below the Youtube link), Macca actually wrote this song for Tom Jones but only on condition it would be his next single - that wasn't feasible so music history was changed. Good version though!
The tune...

Breaking my own rule here and posting one on a Sunday but, as it's Fathers Day, this one from Macca has a sentiment which I'm sure all us dads would share with our sons and daughters.

Little something from the legend that is Mr. Nils Lofgren to mark his 68th birthday today.
Different, but good.

Huey Lewis turns 69 today so here's him doing a fine job of a Beatles album track form '69 - see what I did there?

Part 2...
Was originally going to post Ringo's Theme - the instrumental of This Boy from 'A Hard Days Night' movie - you know? this one (although no spoken word in this clip - pure musical overlay)...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_cx1CdeVIQ
When looking for it I spotted this brilliant short re-enactment from about 2 weeks ago by a young lad - enjoy...

Bern, love the Concert For George, never tire of it.
Part 2 is brilliant, where do get these from?
Continuing on the This Boy theme, I love this outtake that sees the boys getting the words wrong and end up laughing their heads off.

With the weather we've had (ignoring yesterday's 'blip') it had to be this one.

A little self-indulgence this week just to celebrate my nephew Georgie's promotion to Sergeant in the Army - he's made us all proud.

Alexa's keeps giving me ideas to pick tunes recently - today she tells us it's 'National Booklovers Day'; so, as I only used the full band's version a few weeks back, here's Macca's solo effort.

Although not the best recording ever but interesting all the same.
Thought this would be appropriate for Bernie and Barb.
The Beatles at the Cavern.

Thanks Keith, for keeping the thread going in my absence and for the dedication - I'd not heard that one before.
For this week... Rick (Jessie's Girl) Springfield turns 70 today so here he is, live, with Richard Marx enjoying covering 'All My Loving'

John McNally of The Searchers celebrates his 78th birthday today. He used to live 'just over the bridge on St. Johnny' when I was a lad.
As they were rivals to The Beatles I can't find a proper Fab Four cover, but here's their interesting, stripped back, take on a tune certainly more associated with the Beatles.
I've got that LP somewhere!

A happy 76th birthday to the legendary Roger Waters (Pink Floyd).
Was pleasantly surprised to find he'd covered a Beatle tune - interesting and enjoyable version in my humble opinion.

Hi Bern, the sad person I am, I used to buy anything Beatle related. This track was released on a charity album No Ones Gonna Change Our World for the World Wildlife Fund in 1969,
12 months before it was on the Let It Be Album.
I still have the LP, I think it cost £1.00 back then, its now worth about £40.

See Rolf is on it. Our world has changed, Keith, and not for the better. I'm feeling slightly selfish, saying this, but I'm in glad I've had my time. I feel sorry for the generations to come. I have no children but lots of God kids, nephew's and nieces. God knows what they've got in store for them. Maybe the younger ones will know no difference. Ignorance is bliss as they say.

As the famous (replica) gates of Strawberry Field reopen to the public tomorrow after 14 years it would have been rude not to pick this one.
