This from Paul McCartney upon hearing of George Martin's death.....

I’m so sad to hear the news of the passing of dear George Martin. I have so many wonderful memories of this great man that will be with me forever. He was a true gentleman and like a second father to me. He guided the career of The Beatles with such skill and good humour that he became a true friend to me and my family. If anyone earned the title of the fifth Beatle it was George. From the day that he gave The Beatles our first recording contract, to the last time I saw him, he was the most generous, intelligent and musical person I’ve ever had the pleasure to know.

Pretty much settles the issue.

Love the Beatles !!

Jim

Yes  - major contributor to great music.

I was angry at CNN however when the posted that he was " a major part of the BEETLES"

Luther

Very well written !

Great message

Jim

Ok = this is my futile attempt to play and sing this song.
funny how it sounds really good in my head, but when I play and sing it into a mic - ahhh not so good.
but anyway -  here it is and maybe one of you good players and singers can do an improved version.
I actually think of Bill singing this to Dondra    - since he spends so much time with her and they are in constant care of each other.

Hope you like it Bill !

Thanks for listening.

Thanks for sharing

TF

That is awesome !!

So spot on it's incredible.

My wife tends to compare me to another friend ( bachelor)  that has a lot of $, goes all over, has beautiful cars.
My answer is always the same when she does,I simply say "  he doesn't have you or our daughters - I win!"

Thanks for sharing TF. Very good work!

Jim

Badeye,

Seriously - yesterday I actually looked at the date  icon on my computer bc I thought somehow I messed up and  it was Thursday - when you didn't have the post. up. 
Leadbelly is awesome - what a wild life he had. His Biography is a good read.
His song "Where did you sleep last night?" is one of my favorites - it's actually how I discovered Leadbelly.  I thought it was a  Kurt Cobain / Nirvana song - but after researching found that they just were covering good ol' Leadbelly.
Thanks for the Blues with Saturday coffee and cartoons !:)

Thanks Arkady

I added the lyrics and chords in my edit.

baha    - After reading the Bald Eagles post, the fishing season post, I actually thought this was going to be about trucks.
What a pleasant surprise - this band is very good.  A cross between Bonnie Raitt and Steeley Dan.

It kind of created a picture in my head of what a band from all the Chordie Contributors might look like if they ever all got together and seriously played together for a while.
Let's see - Kiki Jan and Mekidsmom singing along with Mojo,  Gil and Phill on guitar and keyboard,  Strummerboy Bill on Percussion,  Dino and Beamer on Lead,  bluejeep, TF, BGD, and whoever else I'm unintentionally leaving out playing and singing backup ,  I am sure that would be fantastic!   an organized chordiestock band:)
Thanks for sharing

I just watched demos of it - its pretty amazing
My draw back is that - with my bad singing - instead of one bad singer there would be 3 or 5
 
Thanks for sharing though = it is pretty cool
