Suddenly Single

  Love your review… the magic of the  Beatles is their simplicity… or I’ll say their apparent simplicity. They motivated us to start a R&R band and assign the parts; you’re Paul, your George, your Ringo… and I’ll do John. It seemed doable… and it was doable or passable but Never, ever duplicated. It was simple enough to inspire but profound enough to forever aspire. Oh and All My Lovin’… their first album, Meet the Beatles, not even the lead hit song and yet the rhythm guitar is Impossible 😮 And for a little more on the miracle of the Beatles and the deeper meaning of Julia is Nowhere Boy https://youtu.be/x_9lcdX85Pg?si=D1_Fg50v7AMIazo6 And while we’re on the subject, my sister Linda and I were at Ed Sullivan when they performed this song… Thanks Dad!!! 😊
