The Beatles as we came to know them became a group in 1960. In 1962 they finally became whole when Ringo joined and Pete Best exited the group. The Beatles recorded songs as a group from 1962 until 1969. During those seven short years they went through many phases of group dynamics. Towards the end of their recording life, the group had gone from collective songs towards individual efforts where a second or third Beatle wasn't even a necessity. In 1968 the boys actually played together for what many said was the last time on "Hey Bulldog." While a John Lennon song, Paul contributed as did the rhythm section in the studio. The attached clip was actually made to promote the Lady Madonna single, but shows the Abbey Road vibe of the time and a good time in the studio. The song is basically meaningless, and a bit of a rocker.
Speaking of dogs, our puppy had an issue where her hair was not growing back from the August surgery. Yvonne got a blood test done the other day and Sadie is low on platelets at about 100, normal is 160 and above. I happen to be low on platelets too... So we are left wondering about other potential issues for now. We will check her again in a few weeks, her liver enzymes were elevated and her cholesterol was great.
I am getting over most of my recent chemo weeks' side effects, still a little unbalanced and woozy. I had a PET scan on Friday and hopefully the results will come in Monday or Tuesday. PET scans look at tumor growth and lymph nodes... I hope everyone has a good Superbowl Sunday, I like both teams but think the Steel curtain is too tough for the Pack.
I am living Happy, I hope you are too- Greg
