Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 21, 2022

A victim of the great British Invasion of the 60s. Or is it BritBox!?

There’s only one thing to say: Arrrrr! Oh wait, Talk Like A Pirate Day was yesterday.

Janis, she’s a fit bird! Fancy a pint?

If you’ve never seen the James Corden “Carpool Karaoke” bit with Paul McCartney, do yourself a favor and watch it. Paul’s still got it. https://youtu.be/QjvzCTqkBDQ

Where the fireman rushes in, through the pouring rain

The memory lane of Penny Lane. Keep going Arlo, you might get to Abbey Road.

hey….i can remember sitting on my parents couch in 1964 and perfecting my ‘John’ voice and inflections….. ’’RiNgo…have you see PAull…. ( yep…sounds just like him..still got it)

Is that a Guinness I see? Guinness…Ahhhhh

Is that we speak in England? I never knew!

“A four of fish and finger pies”

Music for the stouthearted.

Wore my Abbey Road shirt yesterday. I remember seeing them on the Ed Sullivan show.

At Sir Paul’s concerts these days, the legendary horn solo in “Penny Lane” is played on a synthesizer. BLASPHEMY! Is he really too cheap to hire a horn player? When Wings toured back in the day, he had a four-piece horn section.

Has Arlo been hitting the “Guinness” a bit hard?

When I was a kid, and the Beetles were a new thing, a kid brought a transistor radio to school (they were a new thing, too) and got suspended for the week, not for bringing a radio, but for playing the Beetles. And this was years before their Haight Ashberry days.

meanwhile, back…

My SiriusXM radio is set for Classic Vinyl and Rewind, all I here is 60’s – 80’s (early). Best music.

1952 Vincent Black Lightening, now there’s a love song;-)

After years of listening to “Penny Lane,” I only recently learned that it has a fair amount of off-color humor. Enter the following or something similar into a search engine: penny lane dirty lyrics

And now for something completely different.

On 09.14.22, I was wondering how bluetooth got its name (not a joke) and decided to look it up later. The very next day, Ripley’s had an article about it (also not a joke). I like odd coincidences.

♪♫ “Ow wooden it be loverly…” ♪♫

The real British Invasion was the music of Beatles……….still is!

I wonder if JimmyJ didn’t slip one past the censors with this one!? He’s really good at that! 8^ )

All that’s missing is some fish and chips.

50’s rock and roll….strolling and slow dancing, 60’s great songs and groups competing for #1 hits and toward the end FLOWER POWER & getting high, 70’s everything was GO and big time concerts, and adding sounds and instruments to the music.

Her Majesty’s a pretty nice girl, but she doesn’t have a lot to say …

Duran Duran…not the Beatles nor the Stones for me.

Enjoy Paul’s remembrance of his visits with Her Majesty over the years: https://www.paulmccartney.com/news/paul-on-queen-elizabeth-ii

Long lost music is found frequently and played joyfully.

I wouldn’t mind hearing a Beatles song.
