So I still have some pictures from last year to post, including Christmas, but they are going to wait as they aren’t nearly as exciting as they may sound. Instead I have these to offer. Monday August and Déla went ice skating along with a few other kids from their school. August started out hugging…
I will freely admit to “Mr. Moonlight” being one of my least favorite Beatles tracks. Recorded for the band’s fourth album it feels very much like filler. Credited to Roy Lee Johnson, the Beatles performed the song for a while – appearing on the Live At The Star Club album (the version I prefer to…
“Baby It’s You” wasn’t the only song by The Shirelles covered by The Beatles on their debut album. This was an unusual move for the group, because they would cover the same artist over time, usually live (look at the two BBC albums as well as Anthology for examples) but only twice did they cover…
I have used “Please Mr. Postman” before in 2013 but it is highly appropriate again this year. There is a new blog post, but I will re-use the blog title and song summary. Last year I used the stereo version of the song. This year I feature the mono. Listen and compare if that is your thing….
This is another song that was covered by numerous bands before The Beatles took it and made it their own. “Roll Over Beethoven” was a Chuck Berry song that was one of his early hits. This song would be a stable of The Beatles in their early years as one of the building blocks they…
Originally by Little Richard this song was covered by several other artists including The Kinks before The Beatles released it in 1964. The lead track off the Long Tall Sally E.P. then eventually on the Past Masters compilation which gathers the various non-album tracks. In the United States it was released as the B-side to…
Yes, I know, it’s been a few weeks. Hopefully this will make up for that. I have quite a few pictures so let’s jump into it. Over the last couple of weeks we had (on separate nights) the Winter Concert for the school. One night Déla and August performed with their classes. Unfortunately August is…
Tevye is our sixth child. That’s a lot of parenting experience so far. Recently I purchased a rain cover for the stroller. Well, the replacement stroller. It was cheap enough and I figured I would be using it a lot this winter. The last time I was in this position of having to use the…
This morning while getting ready for school August (age 11) came up to me as said when he grows up he wants to be an extra in a Marvel movie. “Oh?” I said. I admired his realistic take on having a dream, but would have hoped for him to shoot for something a little bit grander. “Yeah!”…
Tevye is teething. Yesterday I felt his third tooth breaking through the gumline. Along with being a few days shy of 7 months old, his sleeping has not been the most solid. This isn’t the first time I have tried to give him infant pain reliever. He hates it. It doesn’t seem to matter much how tricky…
