Any Beatles fanatics here?

Ron,

Note there is a question mark at the end. Yes, I'm asking if that is the crash in question. It seems to be the only one that fits the bill as to timing and logic, you reckon?

BTW I was taking a look at Richie Valens too, how very young he was when that happened. If you go to listen to "La Bamba" though, it is almost always the version by Los Lobos, not him. Valens' version sounds a bit rougher.

There is a theory that "Twist & Shout" was a rework of "La Bamba" originally.

We await the light.

Cheers

I would have phrased it differently, by you saying *That's the plane crash*
Sounds like it is in the affirmative,even though you put a question mark at the end.
Sounds like a bob eachway.
Anyway thanks for the other info
Cheers

Tough choice, but if I could only pick one for the desert island it would have to be Abbey Road.

I've heard Ringo say that he thinks the second side of Abbey Rd was their best work. It's tough to choose but he could be right. MMT also rates very highly in my book.

Damn, how does one really pick a "best work" for The Beatles? On virtually every album there were absolute "masterpieces", although they didn't necessarily make it as hits. Then there were the songs that were only ever (initially) released as singles that were outstanding.

I remember when I was learning guitar between '62 and '64ish, my teacher (a respected jazz musician) told me to buy the sheet music to A Hard days Night as he regarded the songwriting ability as exceptional.
