Paul McCartney began in 2022 tour in Oakland, CA. I was told that he was singing with John and I had to see for myself. I saw videos, (just one), of him singing “I’ve Got a Feeling,” with John singing his part on a big screen in the background. The footage was from the rooftop…

There is a new video released of Julian Lennon singing his father’s song “Imagine.” http://Julian Lennon Performs ‘IMAGINE’ for Global Citizen’s Stand Up For Ukraine w/Nuno Bettencourt htp://Julian Lennon, Imagine This is so beautiful. It is the first time he has performed this song and he did it because he felt the circumstances happening in…

Dolly Parton is my hero! Besides being one of the most loved and admired music stars there is, she is also an acclaimed writer and humanitarian. Her giving of herself is endless. Yesterday, Dolly Parton withdrew her name for consideration into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What a brave, selfless woman! As you…

Today February 25, 2022 would have been George’s 79th birthday. I don’t wish people who have passed happy birthdays, for obvious (to me) reasons. All The Beatles birthdates are marked on my calendars for me to acknowledge. Anyhow listening to Sirius XM, they advertised they’d be playing a lot of George on The Beatles channel.…

I’ve been listening to Sirius XM, “Classic Vinyl.” One of the DJ’s, Earle Bailey, refers to the songs that are played are from “The First Generation of Classic Rock.” I love this! This means that I am part of this first generation of the greatest rock’n’roll of all time! What a wonderful realization, and I…

I had made an observation that I was going to write about, that after 58 years, The Beatles, are still mentioned or written about almost daily. I am counting from 1964, when they first came on the scene, here in the United States. This is crazy! I have written about articles I’ve read in the…

The new nominees for 2022 have just been announced. Every year I struggle with their choices. My problem this year is the nomination of Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Dionne Warwick and any rappers, (whom I’ve always had a problem with). These are not rock and roll artists! I love Dolly Parton, everyone including herself will…

I have finally watched all three episodes. I had done this before Christmas. I am ashamed of myself for several issues regarding this movie: The fact that it took me so long to watch all the episodes. This is because the circumstances have to all be right, (in my mind). That includes no one else…

On this day, 20 years ago, my favorite Beatle, George, passed away at the age of 58 from cancer. I bring this up because I didn’t have a blog then and I’ll never forget how I felt that day. Amazing, “My Sweet Lord,” just started playing on the radio. (coincidence, I think not). When it…

I was reading the local paper, Richmond Times Dispatch, yesterday, August 29, 2021, and much to my surprise there there was a 1/2 page article commemorating the 50th anniversary since the release of this album, (actual anniversary was November 2020) His son Dhani has remastered the album, including a lot of extras; acoustic renditions not…
