Check this out, it's Niagara Falls Hall of Fame guitarist Jamie Holka doing a great acoustic take on "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."

 

 

 

Holka ia terrific. 

 

Was he inducted this year? I ask because my sister was in town for her 50th high school reunion and went to this year's introduction. 

 

My brother was an original member of the HOF (inducted posthumously). A high school friend of mine, Bob Hillman, was inducted this year.

Yes, he was. So was his longtime collaborator Bruce Wojick.

as a big fan of The Beatles and Chuck i get a laugh that this obviously sarcastic piece is held as proper criticism to this day.... there still is some strong and some ironic truth sprinkled within....

Unpopular Opinion. Let it Be Naked was better than the original Let it Be album.

I came across this amazing cover of Eleanor Rigby by a group called the Brothers Comatose. Absolutely wonderful.

Happy 55th Anniversary!!!

 

 

 

and again John takes 90% of the oxygen on their harmonies....

on a highly expert site, this is listed as one of the few pop songs with descending key changes... on the chorus... i don't understand what this means though, only got my grade 8 in piano... and the vocal melody ascends at the same time.... i can discern it for the piano on the Kinks Sunny Afternoon, a bit more obvious

But John gets edged out by the more arch nasal tones of George in harmonies....  one of the better examples

it was the 60s, lots of strange stuff went down, especially among normal people like one's great-aunt and uncle 

 

 

as the years go by it it all gets better, random snippets of their songs out there are helpful\

 

did the best John voice peak with Money? 

[row_33]

-------------------------------------------

 

the best harmony mix of MacLen on record, even in the same channel, why didn't they do this again, or at least this clearly???? 

 

i chime in that this is in 6/8 to accommodate the  2 "middle" eights

Abbey Road parking lot, 1967. Taken by a fan who still has this. They didn't look happy at that time.

Late 1967? London? Mick having tea and smokes, no idea who the chick is.

Nah. Revolver is peak beatles, everything after is just kinda bleh to me.

 

After that you have the appearance of the likes of Black Sabbath, and the ascendancy of the Who.

Could be that they had to leave their comfortable place to work on the mono version of Pepper.
