Monday morning, meet the Meetles, NYC’s favorite Beatles cover band, on a beautiful day in Central Park at Strawberry Fields, across the street from the Dakota, the building where John and Yoko lived.
Thanks to Stuart M.
From their second album, The Beatles cover a great Smokey Robinson song. One of my favorite John Lennon performances.

Monday morning, a spirited sing-in. This was recorded at Strawberry Fields, the small garden patch just inside the entrance to Central Park, across the street from the Dakota, the apartment building where John and Yoko lived. A crowd gathers every year there on Lennon’s birthday Oct 9th and sings. This was from last October’s gathering.

Pretty fascinating to see musician David Bennett put together the pieces of this famously complex Beatles song and assemble it into a very credible rendition. Makes me appreciate more both the Beatles and Mr. Bennett. With great drumming by Zal Jones. And kudos to vocalist Chris Vince who understands the difference between John and Paul’s singing.

A great McCartney ballad from the Revolver album.
Even John liked it.

Monday morning, John, Paul, George, and Ringo. This was a video that The Beatles commissioned way back in 1967 with director Peter Goldmann, before the days of music videos.

Monday Morning in the Park (Prospect?). Carson McKee takes the lead on a lesser-known Beatles song by Mr. Lennon. (The brass figleaf with bronze oakleaf palms if you can guess which album it’s from. Careful–it’s a bit of a trick question.)
Josh Turner on guitar, and guest Jim Hogan with the terrific harmonies.

Monday morning, the MonaLisa Twins get their auditory capacity improved, all because of you.
I first heard this song on the Meet The Beatles album back in 1964. I had no idea at the time that it was from the Broadway musical The Music Man, by Meredith Willson.

Monday morning, shoes off, no one beats Josh Turner when it comes to arranging Beatles songs on acoustic guitar . Paul McCartney once said it was the one song that John Lennon had ever complimented him on writing.

Monday morning, Carson McKee, Reina del Cid, Josh Turner and Toni Lindgren make the most of their hotel room with their performance of the Beatles’ “Rocky Raccoon.” Make sure to stay for the blooper outtake at the end.

Flip side of the 45 single was “Day Tripper,” but I usually played this side. It was released as a double-A-side single.

Another knockout cover.
Now if we can get the MonaLisa twins together with Josh Turner…

I was in high school and my one can’t miss television show was The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. One day in October, they played this, and soon it was on the AM radio, seven minutes long, when the standard for that format was 2-3 minutes tops. It was pretty mindblowing for us. It still amazes.
