Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

"Dear Prudence"

Happy Thursday evening! We've been visiting with our Daughter and Son in Law from Hawaii for the past few days, so no blog entries for awhile. I had to find a good cover to come back to the blog with and found a beautiful John Lennon song, "Dear Prudence" covered by Kenny Rankin. It was recorded in the summer of 1968 by the Beatles- for The Beatles or White album. Trivia: Paul played drums, bass, piano and some horns on the Beatles version due to Ringo taking a small hiatus during some of the album recording sessions. Kenny Rankin does it justice and makes some changes that fit in nicely. John was trying to write a song to Mia Farrow's sister Prudence who had taken up Transcendental Meditation very seriously and was holed up in an Indian Maharishi's compound...

You are a good writer, too. Your grammer is much better than mine! You sure know your music trivia, too. You used to beat everyone in trivial pursuit. I hope Sam and Natalie enjoy their time in Oregon. The Beach should be nice, albiet cooler than what they are used to. I hope you get a chance to enjoy some sunshine soon. Les and I are going to Maui in June. so that should be fun. See you soon,
Love, Cathy
