Thank you for the thoughtful response. I appreciate that every one if the videos is not only fresh, but it is just a bit more creative. That is what pushed the Beatles in the studio. I heard an interview with Paul that they were always trying to push the envelope and for example if they used an “odd” instrument that it would never show up in another song. The piccolo trumpet that was in Penny Lane for example. The next thing was always something a little different.

Of course, the answer created some follow-up questions… “Orange” you glad? (It’s amazing how you can hear everyone groan at a bad pun all at once on the internet) Is there one of you that is more likely to come up with the ideas, or is it truly a group effort? On the technical side, it sounds like you do it all yourselves; did you have someone who does the editing with you or did you just pick it up and learn as you go? Regardless, the results are inspiring! Stay Groovy! Grace, Peace, & Love!

Mona,

Thank you for such a lovely answer. I know what you are talking about with the Rickenbacker, although I have never had the privilege of playing one.

Yes, it was “The Third Man”. I love old movies, much better stories and dialogue. I have probably seen that movie 5-6 times. I am impressed that you knew it. Just makes me like you even more! ; )

Peace and Love,

Alan
