I was born in 1960, and so the Beatles are one of the groups that shaped my early musical tastes. I actually ended up playing in a rock band, in the 1990's, only I played the sax. But the guitar player and male singer came from Detroit, and was a Beatles freak, who knew just about every Beatles song, even their most obscure stuff.<br />I eventually learned to play guitar, just from being in that group, watching for chord changes and the like, to keep up.<br />I graduated in 1978 from high school, and was an All American Musician. At one time or another, I played nearly every wind instrument and most brass ones. I just play a bit of guitar at home now, for my own amusement. But I am a firm believer in the arts and athletics in K-12 education, as a way to help give young people a better and more fulfilled life, and to teach character.<br />Thanks for this recommendation, I look forward to watching this. Another good documentary, that I have watched, is on the life of Colin Hay, called Waiting for My Real Life to Begin. He was the lead singer for the band Men At Work, and it is a great documentary I found on Amazon Prime Videos.Pigpen51https://www.blogger.com/profile/01683463718454987063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-36031160862223645242021-07-25T07:21:01.055-04:002021-07-25T07:21:01.055-04:00Boomers always go on about the comparison between ...Boomers always go on about the comparison between the Beatles and the Stones. It’s a matter of personal preference, really, but the Stones never developed, never emerged; the Beatles left a rich creative legacy while Mick still struts across the stage singing “Honky Tonk Woman”. <br /><br />All these later I still love the Beatles; it took until now to truly appreciate their music.
