It Was Forty Years Ago Today...

I just finished the new Beatles biography written by Bob Spitz, and it was by turns wonderful and sad. It's still stunning to me that they were able to churn out, seemingly without effort, so much music in so short a time that still resonates with us to this day. Reading the "behind the music" blow by blow made it even more amazing.

At any rate, it was indeed 40 years ago today that they met in Abbey Road studio 2 to start work on what would become "Revolver." In the very first session, they nailed the primary tracks for "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "Got To Get You Into My Life." All in a night's work, I guess.

I've got to go now and play some guitar!
