The last song I performed on YouTube was French. This time out everything is quite British. I write “everything” because it’s a medley of five songs from the Fab Four with a fun 10-track mixed reprise of one of the songs at the end. Woo Hoo! A Beatles hit from each year between 1964 and 1968.

This is not a songbook medley. I actually picked the tunes I wanted from sheet music and then did the basic arrangement of the parts I wanted to play, the transitions, and the sequencing. The last song was a free-for-all of ideas, and during the summer I recorded a couple different audio-only versions for testing purposes. So, you have to stick around until the end to hear and see how things turn out! I’m not giving away the names of the songs. The fun is in the recognition:

On a random note, it’s coincidence but interesting that this project is finished right before the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II at a time when the United Kingdom has been the focus of news for the last week.

Up next, it’s a love song and jazz standard made famous by Frank Sinatra.
