Love, love, love EC. Saw him at the Carrier Dome on April 7, 1990. I was completely stressed out earlier today after learning I will likely be stiffed on more than $1,,000 worth of editing. But then his acoustic version of "Layla" came up on my playlist, and I was soon breathing more easily.;

I normally don't really care whether anyone reads my posts—I haven't had any earth-shattering revelations about the Beatles lately, or ever, perhaps—but I sincerely hope someone gives this a listen because I find it so, so beautiful:

The men on this forum have already made their opinons about Linda Ronstadt clear -- they think she was physically hot -- but, like most people, she had a lot more to offer the world than her appearance. She had a beautiful voice, for one thing. Her duet with Aaron Neville on "Don't Know Much" is particularly touching, in my opinion.

I could easily see this as a first-dance song for a second wedding or a milestone anniversary. It personally moves me to tears. I find the lyrics so very poignant.

Lovely song, lovely fretless bass.

Hadn’t heard that before. Very nice 

I didn’t realise Peter Brown was still alive. It does sound a bit attention seeking.

This is a first, I  think: a Beatles book I don't feel compelled to read.

I didn't learn anything new from the Post's summary, so I doubt the book will add much either. It smacks of a sensationalistic purpose. Ironically, Peter Brown's The Love You Make (which I just now noticed was also coauthored with Stephen Gaines) was the very first Beatles book I read.

Reviews on Amazon aren't too keen.

Cloudy today but it’s mild as well.

Snow today and tomorrow. . . Ugh! All the other states have moved on to spring, but pathetic old North Dakota is still languishing in winter. 




So—I'm mixing a coctail and getting my calypso on.
