In 1967 the Beatles (at least Paul) thought about writing what might have been the first "concept" album to date in rock and roll. In the end of that summer of '67 out came what many consider to be the best album of all time- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles only got a few of the tunes down for that concept, "With a Little Help" being one of them. Paul and John wrote the song for Ringo to sing as an alter ego- Billy Shears.
We all get by with a little or a lot of help from our friends. Today for me- this had to be the song... You see, while I was away from home yesterday getting signed up for some transitional duty, Sgt. Cindi West and a strong friend delivered a fantastic surprise to my home. About three or four months ago while looking for bargains I happened across Cindi and the fact that she was selling an almost new super high quality upright bicycle trainer. She offered me a screaming deal, but alas I declined at the time due to other financial commitments (my daughter's wedding) and we parted ways. After my cancer, Cindi corresponded with me and through some back and forth I happened to inquire about the bike's availability again. I will be riding later this AM! Cindi- you are an inspiration and a hero! Many others have asked to help and I appreciate all of the visits, calls, gifts, smiles, and more from too many people to list here right now. I hope I can remember all of the kindness as I blog from here until I get through the entire Beatles catalog!
