Hi JP
I hadn’t noticed that until you pointed it out. I did notice early on at the 0.45 mark Papa Rudi in the frame momentarily. Only years later now that you pointed it out I see it at the 3:10 mark as well. They did a pretty good job concealing it.

Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving to you Jacki, have an awesome long weekend. Celebrating my little sis birthday this weekend too, so a double celebration. It’s strange having two long weekends in a row, Truth and Reconciliation Day last weekend, and Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend. Ain’t complaining.

I learned there are some used book stores and antique stores that has collections of old diaries that were donated by families or the estate after someone passes. That’s how some people who chase down old diaries acquire them. Some people collect old letters and post cards, as they enjoy reading the old hand written scripts and can be fascinating to get a glimpse into someone’s world in another time in history.
Old letters and diaries remind me of this song.

Bach’s music is full of math in symmetry, repeating patterns separated by intervals or inverted. This visualization of his 14 Canons will show you what I mean, when his music is full of math.

I found a few videos of Beatles and Bach music visualized that captures graphically the mathematics inherent in music. It shows the symmetry, harmony, order, and repeating patterns that perhaps Einstein got his intuition from when formulating his mathematics formula to explain how the universe works, like his General Theory of Relativity.
Notice the symmetry and repeating patterns. These visual patterns sound so wonderful. Einstein deduced beauty from sound to patterns that is expressed in math formulas.

Hi Chris,
Yeah, I couldn’t agree with you more about what you said about A Day In The Life. There is so much feeling and emotion there that just grabs me. Where some songs from the 60s can sound dated, this is timeless, in fact you could say that about most of the Beatles works, timeless. It sounds as good today as when it came out 50/60 years ago. This song is truly monumental.

Tim, where did you find this one? It’s awesome, haven’t seen this one before! Yeah both Paul and John are incredible singers, their talent for a lack of a better word is so incredibly deep, they constantly surprise with what they can reach deep inside of them and pull out, not unlike a female Duo Group I know! Paul’s rocker vocals shine, he can rock with the best of them when he wants. The lead guitar sound from George sounds great too. I bet those two police officers standing around waiting to shut down the roof top performance did not realize what a historic music event they were witnessing at the time.

Hi Bud
A couple of great songs there that just underscore John and Paul’s amazing song writing prowess. I remember when Woman came out and was a big hit on the radio. It’s melody just stays in my brain whenever I hear it. The song really expresses John’s love for Yoko Ono. Despite how some blame her for breaking up the Beatles, when you hear that song, you can’t help but respect how John felt. Another one of John’s later solo songs with an amazing melody that sticks is this one.

Paul’s song Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey is another brilliant gem. I had his 1970s “Wings Greatest Hits” album on cassette and loved every song on that album, and this was one of the songs on it. On this one, when the horns come on, it’s like the song transitions into another, similar to A Day In The Life. The song is brilliant, and love the horns. Paul’s melody genius shines. I liked Ringo’s appearance at the end of the video. Paul’s fondness for his giant sheep dog Martha who appeared on this and other videos of his is heartwarming. I think the whole band at the time was fond of Martha as Paul took him everywhere.

Another John Lennon lead vocal performance I really like is this one. His singing is so full of character.
Hmmm back to the grind.

Hi Tim
Great video! And yes John’s vocals are incredible and those harmonies irresistible. I read a story where John said he almost injured himself singing this song, and I can see why, the depth and power of his vocals, no one can do justice to this song better than John. I saw in a BBC documentary once, and the music critics said the thing that set the Beatles apart from all others and why their music so appealing to such broad audience is their harmonies along with their genius song writing.

Hi David
I’ve grown to love every song on that album! When I got this album, I learned that their long line of hit songs is just scratching the surface with the Beatles, if you immerse yourself in the Beatles music there are so many remarkable gems throughout. Not one bad song really.
For me where the great classical composers expressed the beauty of symmetry and order in the universe through instrumentation, with the Beatles it’s their harmonies.

Hi Len
That sounds like a great collection of post cards you must have. Thanks for sharing that. It certainly forms a great piece of history, that can mark certain well known times from just ordinary people. The hand writing I think carries a little bit of the person’s essence in the post card. I found some post cards from John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Just brief sentiments expressed in the few words they wrote, but it expresses so much more of them from the mark they leave and their signature.
Next time I’m in an antique store, I will see if there are any old post cards, it sounds intriguing.

Hi Jurgen
I like this version of While My Guitar Gently Weeps, and I love the video with the animation of the hand writing turning into form. When you write something, it is the opposite, form and ideas turn into script, but here the script turns to form. Thanks.
