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

It's All Too Much- Paul Gilbert

Sometimes it is all too much. People bombard you for all sides, fame and riches were being compared to life's simple things in "It's All Too Much." George wrote it and the Beatles recorded the song in 1967, it was originally intended for the Magical Mystery album but for some reason did not quite make it. It was added to the Yellow Submarine soundtrack album in 1969. The song was George's ode to psychedelia and his life at the time. This cover version by well known (not necessarily in the billboard music world) guitarist Paul Gilbert. It is true to the original with a wild guitar and heavy bass line twist, not for the faint of heart.

excellent video today, I've never heard of Paul Gilbert. He is good and the drummer is good also. Would that be a twelve string electric guitar? Have a good day. The Big A

Paul seems to play only Ibanez signature guitars. The guitar in the video is a double necked 6 string model that must have two different sets of keys to allow for more of a range...Guitar players would know more. He shreds though!

Greg,
Just caught up on everything after taking art students to Santa Fe, NM. We stopped at the shrine of Chimayo, known for the church with the miraculous dirt. I'll be sending some to you. Sounds like a very rough week. So glad you are home and doing better. Spring and warmth and sun are here now. Alan planted spinach already. We are thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers.
