Day 7 - 63 -- Music Class Highlights

Today involved a research meeting for a project that is nearing completion of the current stage. That is exciting. I spent longer than usual appointment with the Physio to workl with the arm and jaw. I now have some new stretching exercises to do each day. By late afternoon, I had time in office to deal with e-mails and ready work for tomorrow. A highlight of the day was the music class I'm taking this term. This week we covered the Beatles' career for 1967 -- the year of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, the death of Brian Epstein and the misadventure of The Magical Mystery Tour film. After viewing the film, one student noted that this made HELP! look like the Shawshank Redemption <smile>. It was a challenge to sit through it again.

From a musical perspective, the group continued the experimental process begun with Revolver and produced 26 songs in that one year. I chose two selections to share tonight. The first was part of an international project for the first satellite broadcast to air simultaneously in several countries. The second is less mainstream and includes some Hendrix guitar styling. Enjoy!
