Delightful, fun, and heartwarming.
I dare predict we will hear a LOT more from this young man 
Is Abbey Road the last Beatles album the same way there was never a sequel to The Matrix, or am I missing something?
It was the last Beatles album to be recorded. The Beatles began work on let it be before Abbey Road but did not finish the album, it was scrapped and later āsavedā by remixing from the unfinished sessions after the Beatles broke up.
Good to see the younger generation appreciates some REAL music.
That kid has a pretty awesome collection of instruments. And the skills to go with 'em!
Very talented. Please, donāt sign with a label.
True that. Iām actually mad I never imagined how cool She came in through the bathroom window could sound with an ukelele.
Yo dawg, Iāmma let you finish, but dismissing music other than your favorite as not being ārealā is kind of elitist, even if it turns out youāre ājust jokingā.
Go broaden your horizons - listen to something youād normally never listen to, like some traditional Japanese Enka; or some of the many shades of South African Zef hip hop; or the irresistable insanity of Gypsy Punk; or the haunting ferocity of traditional Faroese vocals; or the addictive electronic stuttering of Glitch; or any of countless genre-defying examples of what I can only refer to as āThe Living-Retroā; or maybe just take a ride on the weird side of youtube.
The Beatles are great, but sticking them on a pedestal and worshipping at their feet only blinds you to the thousands and thousands of amazing artists out there, just waiting to be discovered.
So rememberā¦ Beyonce had one of the best videos of all timeā¦one of the best videos of all time!
Wow, this kid is awesome. That is one creative mind heās got.
Donāt sign with a label? Why? Has āMusicians shouldnāt make a livingā become so pervasive that people are actively trying to skewer the careers of talented people instead of just consuming their content for free?
Iām guessing you mean ādonāt sell out to a major conglomerateā, which is all fine and dandy. Truly eschewing all labels means that he not only has to be a talented musician, but now he needs to understand marketing, distribution, contract drafting and negotiation, and a host of other skills that donāt have to do with actually making the content we enjoy.
Disclaimer; Iām a musician who just signed to a label. Itās an āe-labelā, has no offices, takes no cut of sales, and fully supports my desire to keep giving my music away for free. Donāt paint all labels with the same brush.
I didnāt know this. I wonder if this is related to a bootleg record I have of sessions from Let It Be. Do you know if LiB sessions were bootlegged before the album was released for fans who thought it would never be released? my plate might be rarer than I imagined.
Back in my day, you only needed ONE instrument to play side two of Abey Road. It was the same one you used to play side one. (wait for itā¦) All you needed to do was flip the LP over.
Remember your words when your 50 or 60+ about the NEW music coming out and someone remembers your old school mixes. Or if you are 50+ be kind too the younger gens.
Iām confused. Are you trying to excuse narrowmindedness in the present by claiming that everyone inevitably becomes equally narrowminded in their eventual futures?
See, thatās a self fulfilling prophecy that only works if we listen to your argument. 
Let it Be wasnāt bootlegged before the official album came out, but there are A LOT of Let it Be period bootlegs, mostly because so many of their rehearsals and jams were being filmed and tracked at the time for the intended movie. Some bootleg companies have put out big boxed sets of ācompleteā (is it ever really?) Let it Be sessions, but I canāt get into a lot of it myself. George doesnāt want to be there, RIngo looks bummed out most of the time, John was out of it, possibly due to heroin, but at least due to Yoko, and his head was somewhere else. Poor Paul is trying to be the trooper and cheerleader, working hard to inject energy into things. You can tell he really didnāt want the band to fall apart the way it was, but I digress.
Pretty much. When we approach the 50 year mark, exploring new music is not always essential and there is a clinging to the past that shaped growing to be 50. You can say I am wrong I donāt mind. Would not be the first time.
I donāt care for Boyance or Kayne or any of those younger no talent Agency products who never wrote their own music or lyrics.
Nothing is inevitable. If people become stodgy and short-sighted as they grow old, itās not because thatās simply the way of things, or because fate made it so. Itās because they slowly let themselves develop bad habits and cultivate negative thinking. Itās because they closed off their minds to new experiences, for any number of reasons.
Not everyone who grows old grows crotchety - you can find proof of that easily enough. Your assumption is just as inaccurate and foolish as claiming that people are innately wicked, or any other sweeping statement of that sort. That sort of thought is the tool of racists and sexists and bigots and cowards of every order, and itās been refuted time and again by people who choose to look beyond the boundaries of their own little corner pocket of the world.
For the record, Iām not a fan of Beyonce or Kanye. Their musical styles and their images simply arenāt to my tastes. (Although, I actually think Kanye is a skilled performer and some of his work is quite impressive - I just donāt care for the baggage that comes with it in the form of his personal behavior.) But Iāve actually gone and listened to their work. Turned out it wasnāt for me, but I at least gave it a chance and kept an open mind. Thatās all I ask of anyone.
The Beatles are great. They helped me see new facets of the world when I was younger and listening to them for the first time, and I still enjoy revisting them every now and again, but there are other facets of the world out there waiting that I want to see as well. I could never be content just listening to the same Beatles albums over and over again for the rest of my life. I want to hear other music, other stories, other bits and pieces of lives I donāt live and places Iāve never been.
There is only one constant in this world - change. Finding things you love and sharing them with people is all well and good, but the world keeps changing, and if you worship your one musical idol at the expense of actually getting out and experiencing the world, then you know nothing of it and are not a part of it. Youāre living in your little bubble of the past, clinging to memory, letting the world pass you by.
Heās a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his Nowhere Land
Making all his Nowhere Plans
For Nobody
Doesnāt have a point of view
Knows not where heās going to
Isnāt he a bit like you
And me?
Nowhere Man, please listen
You donāt know, what youāre missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command
Heās as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?
Nowhere Man, donāt worry
Take your time, donāt hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand
I hit a nerve. I do appreciate your effort too reply. Not everyone who hits over 50 is a codger but I guess I am settling into that format. The āNo where manā could be about our fathers until we become our father. Hang in there and in your midās 50ās let me know how proactive you still feel.
I always thought John Lennonās song āImagineā was about communism.
