Then it was George. Then it was John. And now it is Ringo. All the stages of my life. Infatuated teen. Mystical twenty-something. Intelligent, cool twenty-into-thirty something. And more whimsical older woman. <br />Still I think George is the one in my soul.

Even though I'm 54, it wasn't until my twenties that I came to fully appreciate them. It's hard to pin down my favorite songs, but I really like "If I Fell", as well as "In My Life" and "I Will". Alison Krauss does a version of "I Will" that I really love. As far as my favorite Beatle, I guess it would have to be George. He always seemed the most gentle and humble Beatle and he loved gardening.Bethhttp://blueridgebluecollargirl.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-11870302807759036072012-01-29T17:24:49.760-05:002012-01-29T17:24:49.760-05:00I found it!

It's their early songs that I love the most. I never ever get tired of hearing them and have one of those Best of the Beatles double album of those songs and still play it.

If you look at CoAst's website: http://www.coastband.co.uk/info.html he is the slightly thickset guy with the dark hair, the glittery stripes on the sleeves of his shirt and the red base guitar.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-39420678193833068072012-01-29T09:06:06.628-05:002012-01-29T09:06:06.628-05:00Plowing Through Life,

It makes me wonder what Steve would have thought of an American's viewpoint and early love of the Beatles! <br />Even John Lennon loved "Yesterday", he would always refer to it as an example of what Paul was capable of... Trivia: Before he wrote the words, he had the music first, and Paul would just sing "Scrambled Eggs" for "Yesterday". True story? Or somehthing that Paul made up to be funny? Who knows for sure?<br />Would LOVE to know what band that Rob plays in now, I put in "Best Pub Gig 2011" in a search engine and it came up with the final 4, which one is it, can you tell me?<br />My sister was born in 1966 and she knows a lot of music that her peers do not, since she had older siblings to expose her to the BEST music!Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-75197415278381653372012-01-29T08:39:14.122-05:002012-01-29T08:39:14.122-05:00The Beatles created fun songs that put a smile on ...The Beatles created fun songs that put a smile on your face; it's no wonder they were such a huge hit.
