The glass candleholders will go to the first two people (one prize per family) to send me the names of ALL SEVEN of the Beatles songs which will be posted at 1:00 Central/Fritz time today.

“I Should Have Known Better”… but this Satur “I Should Have Known Better”… but this Saturday at 1:00 pm Central time I’ll be hosting another Name That Tune contest, this time featuring songs of the Beatles. During this quarantine you don’t have to “Hide Your Love Away”. If you don’t know why I’m doing this, you can “Ask Me Why” and I’ll say “Because”. Everybody in your household can “Come Together” with one guess. If you were a Beatles fan, you’re no “Fool On The Hill”. To win the prize, you need to “Think for Yourself.” I know there’s a lot to think about; “It’s All Too Much.” When we have a winner, “I’ll Call Your Name” out via this site. I created the music samples “With A Little Help From My Friend”. My guest musician and I have gotten together for Beatles-fests for years… so a special thank you to PETER ROONEY for his wonderful guitar work. In honor of the Beatles final live concert at Candlestick Park, you will be competing for one of two candleholders.
