I currently have a free 3 month subscription to Sirius XM radio. Besides listening to Phillies’ baseball, I’m spending most of my time on The Beatles Channel. I have always been a Beatles fan and this channel really strikes a chord. Pun intended.
I think they do a great job of playing songs from the
original catalog but they also play the members’ solo work. With a light hand, they
pepper in cover songs from other bands. Lastly, they add in some songs and artists
that inspired The Beatles from the 50’s. It has a way of clearing the musical
palette without losing sight of the purpose of the channel.
I’m not the most knowledgeable or die-hard fan but The
Beatles have always echoed through my life. I know a lot. I have forgotten a
lot. This channel is exposing me to more. My opinion of John Lennon continues
to vacillates. My respect for Ringo grows as I hear more of his songs and his
work with his All-Star Band. George is my dark horse favorite. And Paul is
well…Paul (and very clean).
Originally, I was going to write one post with a few
anecdotes. The Wife suggested I break it up into a few posts…so picture yourself on a boat on a river and
turn off you mind, relax, and float down my stream of conscience wool gatherings…
