From Me to You

A favourite hobby of mine is listening to Music, and being a 60's child, the 70's and 80's were great decades for pop music....well for me anyway, thats why Programmes like 'Life on Mars' and 'Ashes to Ashes' bring back such great memories for me of growing up, but like so many others - The Beatles were such a great influence on my Music taste - not an influence that brought me to playing an instrument, or singing - apart from miming a recorder at my Primary School or singing Kareoke, thats not where my talent lies, it's the knowledge of Music, I compile my own Music Quizes to raise money for Charity, and also love taking part in them too...but for me the Beatles were such a great Band and there's still Bands of today that use the Beatles as their influences, and they get covered so regularly...My first link, is a blog that quotes 10 Beatles covers that are better than the original...for me thats impossible, and Joe Cocker's version of 'A little help from my friends' aside, I haven't heard the others, so look forward to giving my own un-biased views http://thedeletebin.com/2008/05/13/10-beatles-cover-songs-which-may-be-better-than-the-original/
I did go to the Beatles story a few years back in Liverpool, and thoughly enjoyed it, but felt I was rushed a little by my 11 year old son, who, although listens to them with me at home, did seem quite keen to rush through the Museum etc to get to MacDonalds, but would very much like to return for a more indepth look at the Museum aswell as the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour that Liverpool offer http://www.beatlesstory.com/
