    I love the song Taxman, but I much prefer the way Black Oak Arkansas played it.

    HUBERT- Yeah, your welcome. My son took me to a Paul McCartney concert for my birthday in 2005 , and he told everyone that at the concert. Even had video footage on the big screen of the space thing

    STILLA - Yeah, there is something very haunting about Eleanor Rigby to me. It has always deeply inspired me, not only the music, but the words as well ! Rubber Soul was a great album as well ! Liked it a lot ! Peace out, Mr. Flipper

    Have you heard of the Fab Faux? If you like the Beatles', these guys are a GREAT cover band (even McCartney thought so, and the Beatles notoriously hated copy-cat bands).

    Here is a story about them, with audio clips (click the Listen Now link at the top) on them here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18342562

    They focus on the Beatles' later work... the stuff they could only do in a recording studio back then, not live, but which can be done live now.

    The Fab Faux's members are all full-time musicians and singers who remain active in the music industry. Lee can be seen on late-night TV as part of the David Letterman band, Agnello is an in-demand music producer and sideman, and the other members are noted session men and producers. With guitarists Jimmy Vivino and Jack Petruzzelli, and drummer Richard Pagano, The Fab Faux is a collective that's about attention to detail.

    That includes having a real string section with it on "Yesterday." Or a real piccolo trumpet to play the famous solo on "Penny Lane," or even a fire-truck bell in the same tune — especially impressive considering that the band does all of this while in live performance. The Fab Faux's collective talent makes it possible for the band to take apart The Beatles' music, and then put it back together again — a process that Agnello describes as "really nerdy."

    "We'll keep researching and alter stuff," Lee says. "It's a never-ending tweakage on this music."

    Not everything The Fab Faux does is about faithful re-creation.

    "Take, for example, 'Drive My Car,'" Lee says. "It doesn't have an ending; it has a fade, as records often do. Wouldn't it be great to bring to the stage what the song would have sounded like had it continued on into a nice jam? We have such good players in this band that it would be a waste not to let somebody take a solo."

    Hey Flipper,

    Have you heard the cd "Love?" from Cirque du Soleil?

    It is an AWESOME remix of several Beatles songs. I recommend it.
