sing along, or play along, or just listen ... it's Beatle-y multi-tracky time!

Hey! You might've heard, it's John Lennon's birthday! What better way to celebrate than singing along with the backing track for I Feel Fine? Then you can sing along with John's Rain, with the added fun of having Lennon himself do some harmony with you! Sweet! What? You don't know all the words? So, get a refresher course: listen to John's Rain lead vocal track, loud and clear and accompanied only by bass and tambourine. And his vocal track is mixed waaay up for your listening pleasure on I Am the Walrus and Ticket To Ride. And hey, if you're one of those folks who just can't sing at all, well, maybe your bird can. But hey, even if you don't have the greatest voice in the world, why not try singing along to some of John's tunes, to honor the 70th anniversary of his birth? I mean, Paul Mccartney did! If you don't, you won't know what you're missing.

Thanks, flapjax...nice post.
As the brain cells shed information, there are few memories where I can do the "where was I" when I heard... JFK, MLK, RFK, JWOL, and SRC about sum it up... Some people are so important that the memories are embedded and indelible!

And be sure not to miss the interview with John on the occasion of his 70th birthday:
"The scars run up and down John Lennon’s torso, unignorable souvenirs of that night nearly 30 years ago when a team of Roosevelt Hospital physicians, led by Dr. Stephan Lynn, heroically patched back together an upper body torn open by the gun of Mark David Chapman."posted by woodblock100 at 7:20 PM on October 9, 2010
I hope that John Cohen doesn't mind me linking to his blog post here.
