Hey all! I hope everyone has a great weekend, even if it is in the rain. I realized after a relatively long day today that I have never written about one of the best loved Beatles songs of all time. What makes this song even more special is that it almost was not a Beatles song. "Yesterday" was written by Paul in 1964/1965. It is a break-up song, at the time the Beatles recorded many love and break up songs but none were like this. For the first time in their recording history Yesterday was the first song featuring only one Beatle (the song did include a string quartet added by George Martin.) Paul's band-mates did not want to release Yesterday as a single in the U.K., and in fact they didn't until after the break up (1976.) The Beatles did release the song as a single with Act Naturally in America where it went to number one shortly after release in 1965. Paul stuck with his song eventually pushing his masterpiece to be included on the Help album in 1965. The song ended up being the most covered song of all time, recorded over 3000 times by other artists.
We all have Yesterday moments, usually we come to be verified later. Keep at it, stay strong and when you know you are right- make it happen!
PS: I go in for an MRI on Monday to check out some back and neck issues that have cropped up. I will know more by November 1. Happy the weekend is here- Greg

Greg, might be early to ask about your condition, but i will anyway. Drop a line when you can. Love Dad and Alice
Yesterday is one of my favorite songs though I find it a very sad one.
Sorry to hear about the back problems. Sure hope they can find out what it is and make it better. We are always thinking about you, and still praying, too. The weather finally changed here after a beautiful, sunny October. We've had gale force winds for two days. Now it's cold.
Enjoy your weekend!
Love,
Mary D.
How's it going? Les and I enjoyed our evening with Lars at the bing lounge. A lot of fun and goof movie.
Greg, anything new with you ?Drop a line when you can. Love dad and alice
I received my MRI results yesterday and confirmed that my back issues are present in my whole back, bulging discs, etc. The good news is other than some physical therapy I won't require any radical therapy now. There you go- Greg
Happy Birthday, Greg!
Love, Les and Cathy
A very happy 51st birthday Greg on this beautiful sunny & windy day!You have come along way. Love Yvonne
