I saw that Beatles program and really hated the music in it (the Beatles
are fun though), except for something they played in the second part of
the program. It was the live thing on Shea stadium (I think), where John
Lennon played the organ with his elbows (!), I really liked it (someone
please tell me where I can find that song) and I suppose you could make
it into acid-jazz, but the question is: why bother? Ok, I'm supposed to
use my imagination to name an artist to perform it...well, since the best
part of the song, in my opinion, was Lennon playing the organ, we'll need
a great organist, let's say James Taylor for instance. Now, does that
sound odd enough, JTQ playing the Beatles? :-)
