One of my favorite Beatles songs! Learned to use the family record player at around 5 years old so I could play my parents' Hard Day's Night and Help! LPs over and over. I played them so much they got sick of hearing them and gave me a pair of old Marantz headphones with ear cups the size of my head. I wore out the LPs, but the headphones still work.
Not weird at all! I learned to sing harmony from Beatles and CSNY records - a skill that has gotten me many gigs that my guitar playing alone would not have. Some of those bands/jobs led to lifelong friendships and some truly life-changing experiences. I'd call that a pretty direct influence on my life.

I love the harmonies...actually the harmonies of these guys influenced my life, which is a bit weird I grant you!

We seem to share a common background!
Always glad to know another member of the tribe. Cheers!
