When my folks got married 12 years ago, my brother sang the Beatles' song When I'm 64 at their wedding. Well, my sweet Papa Steve turned 64 this year, so my brother had the idea for us all to do a remake of that song for him and my mom as a Christmas present. Here's Papa Steve on his birthday wearing the sweater and hat his sister Kate made him ---
Here's the cover College Girl made for the CD case ---

Dylan played bass and lead guitar. My brother did the drums and more guitar. Aunt Kate played the banjo, and Uncle Steve added even more guitar (and "mouth trombone"). My brother, sis-in-law, daughter, Kate and Steve, and I all sang. Our youngest whistled. Dylan mixed it all together on his little editing machine, and we had a mighty fine gift come Christmas morning. The folks happily sniffed and boo-hoo'd most satisfactorily. Yay!
Oh, WOW!!!!!! That was awesome! For REAL, Jo! I liked it WAY better than the Beatles' version! I wanted to save it so I could listen again anytime! Is there a way to do that? Gosh, you guys are talented!
ReplyDeleteBoy that made me want to come live with your family! How nice!
ReplyDeleteWhen are you hitting the road on your world tour? What a special gift!
ReplyDeleteCan you from now on spell College Girl Cawlidge Gurll? I want to seem edgy.
ReplyDeleteYour Papa Steve looks adorable, all cuddly in his beany hat and snuggly jumper. And a handsome man to boot.
