Busking John Lennon
Thank You everyone for the kind words. This was a fun song to learn. I have always considered the loss of John in such a tragic way just unthinkable. I watched a couple of the PBS specials over the past few weeks and it just seemed right to learn a song of Johns.
Although over the years my view of Yoko has soften, figuring well John loved her so I can understand I guess, I must admit I still skip over her songs, and it is a lot easier with CDs than picking the needle of a LP player!
Thanks again
Pete

Hi pete that was great you are sooo close with this song, by the sounds of it you havent been playing it long so more practice will get it sounding top notch but it was really hearfelt . JL is a tough act to follow and so is this song... It would be nice to hear it again once you have practiced it more. i hope you repost..
chris i liked your little insight here.. especially the necking in public part :laugh:
"As to John, what a loss! The world was robbed of all the songs he would have created and all the provocative thoughts he'd have initiated. I'd have loved to hear what he had to sing as he moved beyond singing about Yoko. No offence intended to her, but but apart from Woman, most of the songs about and with her really sucked and it was like watching two teenagers necking in public, awkward and inappropriate. We all loved John but Yoko was always on a losing wicket because she was seen to be steeling John from the Beatles and us. And her arty ideas just didn't translate into music... and John didn't have a filter to recognise that. "

Hi Pete, I completely missed this one when you first posted it. Just to let you know I think it was well played and you have a good voice.
Obviously you've made good progress !
