This was a really fun show, as it included covers of Beatles songs by PNW artists, and the first hour culminated with the debut of the first new Beatles song in decades, Now and Then, which began as a lousy demo by John Lennon in 1978.  Yoko Ono gave it to the surviving Beatles in 1994, and George added some guitar to the Lennon tracks.  But the technology then wasn't like it is today.  Through the tenacity of Giles Martin, son of Beatles producer George Martin, along with director Peter Jackson, and a little help from my friend AI, they were able to clean up the tracks.  Last year Ringo and Paul recorded vocals, piano, bass and drums to complete the song.  So all the elements are original, and AI just helped clean it all up, resulting in a sweet song we never thought possible.     In the last hour I played Mud Shark by Frank Zappa.  Why, you ask?  The Mud Shark story takes place at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle, where the Beatles stayed in 1964 on their tour.  No other hotel welcomed them as guests....the crowds?  The mop top n'er do wells?   Who knows, but none of the hotels could have a photo like the iconic fishing pole Beatles shot. 

RIP John and George.
Thanks Paul and Ringo.
