Just watching the 3 hour (?) documentary Get Back. Going to take a few evenings to get through it. Billy Preston just joined them in the studio. For anyone who hasn't seen it yet, I highly recommend you spend some time with it. Fascinating to watch in real time as some of the most iconic songs are created out of thin air. McCartney just strumming the bass like a six sting as George & Ringo look on, waiting for Lennon to show up. Paul is just mumbling to himself and suddenly you start to hear the slightest inkling there's something going on. George stops yawning and picks up a guitar. Ringo adds some rhythm with hands and feet. And there it is out of nothing, the embryo of a classic. It's takes a few days to put flesh on the bones but it's something to watch. |

I’m going to brag a little (ok a lot), that I got to walk across the famous "zebra crossing" to Abbey Road Studios and spend many hours (and drink a pint or two) inside the studios where the Beatles and Pink Floyd recorded, to name just two. I was working with Apple setting up a multi-media production suite. At the time (this was the late 90’s), they re-painted the white wall outside the studio regularly so that there was space for new ’Beatles Tribute Graffiti’. It was like going to music history church. If those walls could talk... |
