 Thank you to Fairfield University for Janet and Lindsay for for having me. I'm not sure they know what they're getting into, but I appreciate it. This is sponsored by Fairfield University and they call it stag sets where they invite alumni to come back and play for an hour. So I'm honored to be honored to have attended Fairfield U where I met my stag mate, broke up with my stag mate, and then later married my stag mate, Mary Ross. So I'm class of 77, she's class of 78 and I'm happy to be here. So I won't give you my whole life story, but just five seconds worth. When I was growing up, my my first musical heroes were my brother who played the accordion and my brother Bill who played the clarinet. So thankfully, one Sunday night when we were watching at Sullivan, this band of British rockers came on called The Beatles and at that point I knew I would never play the accordion or the clarinet. It's just rock and roll for me so tonight. This afternoon I'm going to do just Beatles songs and not just the Beatles songs, but the Beatles songs that made it to number one in the charts in the U.S. So this is, this is it, here we go. If anybody has requests, keep them to yourself. I'm not doing them. If there's anything that you want, if there's anything I can do, just call on me and I'll send it along with love from me to you. I got everything you think you want, like a heart that's so so true, but just call on me and I'll send it along with love from me to you. I have all the long to hold you and keep you by my side. I have lips that long to kiss you, keep you satisfied. Oh, if there's anything that you want, if there's anything I can do, just call on me and I'll send it along with love from me to you. From me to you, just call on me and I'll send it along with love from me to you. I have all the long to hold you and keep you by my side. I got lips that long to kiss you, keep you satisfied. Oh, if there's anything that you want, anything I can do, just call on me and I'll send it along with love from me to you, to you, to you. That was one of the songs that they played on Ed Sullivan that night and then they went right into this one. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. She loves you, yeah. Lost your love when I saw her yesterday, yeah. That's who she's thinking of and she told me what to say. She said she loves you and you know that can't be bad. Yes, she loves you and you know you should be glad. She said she hurt her throat. She almost lost her mind, but now she says she knows you're not the hurt kind. She says she loves you and you know that can't be bad. Yes, she loves you and you know you should be glad. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. And with a love like that, you know you should be glad. It's up to you. I think it's so unfair. Pride can hurt you too. Apologize to her because she loves you and you know that can't be bad. She loves you and you know you should be glad. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah. With a love like that, you know you should be glad. She should be glad. With a love like that, you know you. I'm not sure if it was the first time they were on at Sullivan or the second time. I think it was one of the first times, the first time that they did this song. Say that's all of them. I want to hold your hands. Say to me, you let me be your man. And please, say to me, you let me hold your hands. I want to hold your hand. I want to hold your hand. And when I touch you, I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling at my love. I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide. I think you'll understand when I say that's all of them. I want to hold my touch you, I feel happy inside. It's such a feeling at my love. I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't understand. When I feel that's all of them. I want to hold your hand. I want to hold your hand. I want to hold your hand. Sorry. All right. It's always interesting to see the sound quality of these. So that was the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show back in 64. And then, all right, don't move. Don't touch anything except the piano. So then, and by me love, my friend will never make you feel all right. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love. I'll give you all I've got to give if you say you love me too. May you not have a lot to give, but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love. Can't buy me love. But it tells me so. Can't buy me love. It's satisfied. Tell me that you won't, but it just can't buy. Can't buy me love. Can't buy me love. So quiet in here when I don't play. Scary. So this is the famous opening chord that has been debated for years. What is it? I should be sleeping like a log. Well, when I get home to you, I find the things that you do will make me feel you. You'll know I work to get your money to buy your things. And it's worth it just to hear you say you're gonna give me everything. So I understand I'm homeless when I get you alone. You know I'll be here alone, okay? Everything seems to, I should be sleeping. I find the things that you do will make me feel you. You'll find the things that you do. So here's this one that I think is from A Hard Day's Night as well. John came up with this opening riff and I hear that he wanted to play it on every song on the album because he liked it so much. I can see why. She said so. She said she's mine, you know. She tells me all the time, you know. She said so. She's mine, you know. She tells me all the time, you know. She said so. She said so. Back in the, I was in a band called Food on the Roof. We thought that in order to get gigs, we had to put together a promo cassette tape that we could then bring into the bars. And we did this song eight days a week and we thought that we just nailed it. And I found the cassette about 10 years ago and I played it and it sounds like Alvin and the Chipmunks play the Beatles. It was, it was horrible, but it's a great song. Yeah, we're good. You know it's true just like I need you. By the way, you have a part in this. It's the clapping part. So it goes, next time. It's from the second Ed Sullivan show, I think. And it was just Paul standing up there with his guitar. Here's a song that I think Paul actually wrote to John. Paul, we can work it out. All right, we can work it out and get it straight or stay good night. We can work it out and fighting months. Try to see it. The time will tell if I'm what you see it your way. The chance that we may fall apart before too long. Fighting months again. The time will tell if I'm right. What you see it your way. The chance that we may fall apart before too long. We can work it out. All right, here's another Paul All By Himself song. What amazed me about the Beatles is just their ability to do any style, whether it's rock and roll or just Paul singing with a string ensemble behind him. It's that she keeps in the job and writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear. Running the socks in the night when there's nobody there. Does he care? And as he walks from the ground we'll see. Zipping through this list of songs. We'll take requests. So this, I think this was the nostalgia period for the Beatles. We had John writing Strawberry Fields and Paul writing this song about growing up in Liverpool called Penny Lane. Penny Lane, there is a barber showing photographs. Very head, he's had the pleasure to have known. Know the people that come and go. Stop and say hello. On the corner is a banker with a motor car. Then a children laughing him behind his back. And the banker never wears in the pouring rain. Very strange. Penny Lane. Suburban skies. Penny Lane, there are five women out of grass. Pocket is a portrait of the Queen. He likes to keep his fire engine clean. Pretty nice to selling poppies from a train. As if she's in a barbershaven. We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim. Very strange. Suburban skies. Clearly by Paul. Children at your feet. Wonder how you managed to make ends meet. Who finds the money when you pay the rent? Did you think that money was heaven sent? Friday night arrives without a suitcase. Sunday morning creeping like a nun. One day child has learned to tie his boot race. See how baby at your breast. Wonder how you managed to be the rest. Thursday night you're stuck in children at your... 10 years ago and it was amazing. The best part was when he made a mistake and he owned it. And um bye. It was it was just it was great to hear him make a mistake because it means there's hope for the rest of it. Anyway uh this next song I can't believe it took this long before George had a number one song on the charts. But it took until uh something and my son Patrick likes to change the words to something in the way she moves. That's not right. Oh you can sing it. Hey Jude. Hey Jude. All right wait a minute. You know that's like an 11 minute song. All right um so hey Jude. Hey Jude was... Yeah it was a number one. I wasn't gonna do it because it's so freaking long but um I don't have the words for it. I don't have the words for it either. Uh oh. What? That's okay Bob. How about a bold one of you? I'm just gonna do let it be and hopefully that's that's good enough. Barbara I'll try to get to the one that you asked for. So many good songs. Maybe next time. A bit more time left so here's um it was a pretty one. So many good ones. I'm gonna see if I can find... Hey Jude. Thank you Bob. Oh thank you. How hard could it be right? Barbara sees us. I didn't do this song because I have no idea what the words are. Okay we got time for like one more. I get to pick it. News one uh don't listen too closely to the solo.
