Thank you for that! I wasn't really doing The Beatles this night... I had the piano music in a collection of old songs. After recording this, I realized it was obviously most influenced by The Beatles, so I added it to my little playlist of Beatles songs. Can you tell me something new about "Sheik of Araby"?
Franco Contri here...Jack, in his alter ego as Uwe Wessturn (he never spells it right) and I have had tentative, initial conversations about the POSSIBILTY of a Contri & Wessturn reuinion...all very non-comittal at this point...live shows seem unlikely but I think we may be able to agree on some studio work in the near future...if only to stop all this Jack Hicko solo business and get him back to the level of artistic greatness I know he's capable of...peace Philly Franco
just one little thing, the original song is not from the Beatles, i'm Mexican and the song composer was a woman called Consuelo Velazquez, so she is the one who did the song.
Yes, I know the song is an old standard. I am doing the Beatles' "version" of the song, in particular the McCartney vocal. I love that The Beatles were a "cover act" for many years, which is pretty much what I am also! Thank you for taking the time to watch and write!
Lol! I believe amost all songs are too slow! The Beatles knew this and the public felt the same way about their version. I have now done the same thing to the Beatles version! Thank you for watching!
Mad.
But very very good.
Beatles do a Gm to GMajor on "Besame...", it makes a slight difference.

Actually, I think the Beatles version is not stupid at all. They give it the energy that no one else does.
