LIKE EVERY OTHER YOUTH IN THE
EARLY 1960S, I BECAME COMPLETELY CAPTIVATED WITH THE BEATLES,
SINGING AND DANCING ALONG TO ONE HIT AFTER THE NEXT THROUGHOUT MY HIGH SCHOOLS
YEARS. Then came college
and near total immersion in the study of classical and jazz music.
Still, I love The Fab Four and
couldn't get their melodies out of my head - even as they evolved from the
simple refrains of "Yeah., Yeah, Yeah" in She Loves You to compositions
that included complex sores for entire orchestras, as in Eleanor Rigby.
The masterpieces recorded by The Beatles were -- and
remain -- unforgettable.
Which is why I have devoted nearly two years of my life
to joyfully and painstakingly interpreting some of their most beloved songs on a
piano ... or, more specifically, on a Bechstein grand piano -- which I
understand is the make and model favored by Paul McCartney.
It was actually my stepson Sean, owner of
Spirit 11
Studios near the shores of Saratoga Lake, who secured that
particular set of ivories for me so that I might attempt to capture the majesty
and genius of my musical idols for posterity. As I told my brother-in-laws,
Francis and Timothy Hauprich, two of the biggest Beatles' fans who ever lived,
being a classically trained jazz musician doesn't mean I don't have rock in my
heart. I do, very much so.
A special word of gratitude also goes out to
Bob Belive who
encouraged me to sip coffee from his collection of mugs featuring licensed
images of The Beatles while this project was brewing.
It was fitting that the cup featuring the cover of the
Meet The Beatles album that introduced McCartney together with John Lennon,
George Harrison and Ringo Starr to the world was nearby the day the pictures
seen on this CD cover were taken. They were, are --- and will always be --- The
Fab Four!
At my wife's suggestion, I'll be sure to bring
different BeatMugs
along to the studio when the time comes to be photographed for the covers of
Volumes 2, 3 and 4 of this four-part collection. Cheers!
