There is something so amazing about playing Beatles music...first of all, there are soooo many songs & they are sooo diverse...& also most everyone knows the songs enough to sing along....
We started the evening with someone saying...lets play something everyone knows (most of us were used to gigging doing our own material & everyone wanted to do something else other than originals)...we started with While My Guitar Gently Weeps....& that is all she wrote...we sang one Beatle song after another til we ran out of songs we knew how to play.... I agree, it would be fun to do a Beatle fest at Joni fest if enough people were into that! >>I love that! I have spontaneous Beatle extravaganzas all the time. the other night two friends came over to play and we ended up doing mostly Beatles and Harrissongs. We do it alot at parties too. My kids love them. I remembeer one night I had my friend Bill Dillon (played on Night Ride Home and Turbulent Indigo + tons of other records type his name in at allmusic.com and be amazed at this mans discography) and his wife over for dinner. After supper we went into the living room and picked up the acoustics and started playing. Several hours later (and many many Beatle tunes) my wife asked if we were gonna do anything else besides Beatles, to which we both replyed at the same time "NO!" And of course we all died laughing and kept right on with the Beatle Fest, which come to think of it would be a gas to do at the next JMDL get together. Love Paz<<<
