41. Ringo

Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue,

'Cause you know darling I love only you. 

The Beatles had a huge impact on my life. Yours too I bet. It's nothing special. Their greatness is given and I have nothing new to add to that. But I love them and love is always very personal. They make me happy.

I can't imagine the world without them. 

40. George

We were talking

About the space between us all

And the people who hide themselves

Behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse the truth

Then it's far too late

My sister-in-law Christine is a big George fan and the proud owner of this drawing.  Well, I don’t know how proud she is but it’s somewhere in her house.  I’m sure it’ll get framed….eventually.  When she gets around to it.  One of these days.  Maybe.

39. Paul

Your day breaks, your mind aches,

There will be times when all the things she said

Will fill your head.  You won't forget her.

For years I’ve been waiting for Lucie to catch the Beatles bug.  So far she’s been resistant.  Downright stubborn.  She prefers the covers from “Across the Universe”.  Kids.  smh.

I heard a new McCartney song the other day.  It sounds like he’s never heard a Beatles song before.  Or a Wings song.  Or any contemporary music written in the last 20 years. 

How the hell does that happen?
