Loved the Beatles as a boy, but when I started to learn guitar years later my tastes had changed. Was drawn toward the rich heritage of country, bluegrass, folk, blues, etc. About ten years later I was with a group who got hired to play a private function w/a stipulation we do several Beatles songs. An incredibly humbling experience as I started to learn the guitar parts and vocals. My favorite from that experience was 'I'm Looking Through You'. The man's a 'Universal Treasure'. Grace and dignity beyond measure. Phenomenal sense of humor and a tough, tough guy when he has to be. Altogether admirable.
