A few people have asked me how my trip to Boston went, and that is a difficult questions to answer succinctly and in a satisfying manner in a way that doesn’t take up much time. So here I am… I think I got a concussion. This is of course a retrospective and speculative diagnosis. Retrospeculative?…
George didn’t get to contribute much, especially in the early days of The Beatles. He sang lead vocals on every album, but most of them were covers. on the debut album he sang one cover and one original (written by John and Paul) then his first original contribution on the next album (“Don’t Bother Me”)…
One of the two songs recorded by Paul, George and Ringo based on one of John’s demo tapes during the Anthology project in 1995 and released as a single. What is astounding to me is that George Martin did not produce this (along with “Free As A Bird”) but Harrison’s friend and fellow Traveling Willbury…
“Hey, how was your trip to Boston?” I’m glad you asked. While I have traveled to Boston several times, this is my third time going specifically to see the Mighty Mighty Bosstones during their Hometown Throwdown. I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to go, and by myself, which leaves Laura home with the…
Dear Joe, Tim, Joe, Ben, Chris, Lawrence, John, Kevin and Dickey (along with Nate, Tim, Josh, and others I am forgetting), Thank you. The Mighty Mighty Bosstones has been an important band in my life for a long time. I have blogged about my association with the band and music several times over the last…
Here is another post about our trip to Massachusetts last summer. We took the overnight plane from Seattle to Boston hoping the kids would sleep on the way there (and yes, Laura and I hoped we would get a couple of hours as well). August just didn’t sleep. I think he was too excited. Tevye did…
Here is another snapshot from our trip this past summer. We have a friend here in Seattle that is from Boston. Every year she goes back for a weeks or so and visits family. She also rents a house in Maine and spends a few days with her kids on the beach. Their vacation overlapped…
Last week I posted briefly, a sort of snapshot – literally and figuratively, about our trip to Massachusetts last summer. Today I’m going to do the same thing. We had rented a house in Salem for 2 weeks and took the red-eye out. The kids were of course exhausted by the time we got there,…
I was walking Xavier to preschool when he said “When you pick me up and August and Dela and Ciaran we should go to the park with the stones you can read to me.” It took me a minute, but eventually I asked him “Like when we were in Salem?” “Yeah!” “That was a graveyard.”…
“The Inner Light” Written by George Harrison it would be his first song released on a single – as the B-side to “Lady Madonna” in 1968. Poor George. Tell Me Why describes George as using “delicate imagery” while using session musicians re record the music in India while the others were in England working on other…
