The Beatles: Free 1964 Concert

My friend John posted this up on Facebook the other day, and of course I have to pass it on. I haven't watched it yet. I'm saving it for Thanksgiving break so I can watch it in a turkey/mashed potatoes/pumpkin pie haze. *bliss*

"Until the end of the year, you can watch, for free on iTunes, the most amazing complete Beatles show you’ve ever seen. A show that was literally their first American concert, shot just two days after their Ed Sullivan TV debut, at the Washington Coliseum on February 11, 1964." more info...

Here Comes the Sun: The Beatles & Nina Simone

Just a little springtime fun...

I'm planning to use this song in my Songwriting for Kids summer workshops and came across this Nina Simone version on YouTube last night. So the first video is the original that we all know & love. The second is the Nina Simone version. It's really quite beautiful in a completely different way.

Enjoy! I hope the sun is out where you live!
