Its been about 8 months since this recording. I think I'm past the mistakes on it now to a point where I am willing to post it. This was recorded at my percussion ensemble concert last year. We only were able to rehearse about 3 times…

First off, the title is a bait-and-switch. The Beatles aren't mentioned in any substance until the last chapter of the book. The book is really about its subtitle: "An Alternative History of American Popular Music", and judged on that…
