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

"I'm Down"

Happy Good Friday, I hope everyone has some family togetherness planned for the Easter weekend. I was a bit down but not out as we received word that my bone marrow donation hit a snag. One 100% donor was removed from the list for a year for unknown reasons, and the secondary donor isn't possible as a primary donor right now. Then at a little after 4:00 PM I got a call that the Hutch had found a new really good potential donor ( what they think will be a probable 100%).  I should find out more on Monday or next week. My Easter basket is here early for sure. I think from now on I will just wait to announce anything until I'm in the center getting the I.V. started!

The Beatles (Paul for the most part) wrote "I'm Down" in 1965 as an homage to Little Richard and early rock and roll music. It ended up being one of the stronger rockers in their repertoire and the closer for their concerts towards the end of playing live shows in 1966. This version from the Shea Stadium show in 1965 highlights John and George inter-playing including John playing a Vox organ on stage- a bit unusual at the time for the band. Live Happy-
