"Catching-up" with some TV after my weekend away I watched "Darcy dances Hollywood".  Darcy's music is recorded by an orchestra in Abbey Road Studios ...
"which the Beatles famously used"

Travelling back from a weekend in Eastbourne I heard on Johnnie Walker's "Sounds of the 70s"R2 show:
"Band on the Run" by Wings
Apparently it was George Harrison's remark "if we ever get out of here" during the legal wrangling that followed the Beatles break-up that inspired Paul to write this song

"Lady Madonna"
is the song I woke up to this morning (at 6.10 am).  It was Vanessa Feltz's birthday feature.  The caller was born this day in 1968 - the week Lady Madonna was No1.

Last night was my College's Spotlight evening were students showcase their talents.  I couldn't go but a colleague told me all about it, including the introductory remarks made by one of the award-givers who talked about sharing musical tastes with her students - one of which is Beatle songs.

I don't read my paper from cover to cover but I do always check the obits and another musician has passed away - Joe Mudele, a double-bass player:
"At his peak  Mudele was a regular on countless pop sessions ... and was part of the group of orchestral musicians that George Martin used regularly at EMI's Abbey Road Studios including the sessions that produced the Beatles' single Penny Lane and the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album" The Times (26/03/2014) p54

Gary Burger of the proto-punk band Monks died recently. An American soldier in1960s Germany, his first group was the 5 Torquays:
"With Burger acting as both lead guitarist and vocalist they entertained military personnel and local teenagers ... at venues such as the Top Ten Club in Hamburg, made famous by the Beatles" The Times (25/03/2014) p49

Left the house this morning at about 7.10 am to the Beatles playing on the R2 Chris Evans Breakfast Show - my normal wake-up station. The song was:
"Hello, Goodbye"
In my case, Goodbye weekend-Hello Monday morning! 

Eating a bowl of homemade carrot n' lentil soup for my dinner and watching BBC2 Antiques Roadtrip I saw Philip Serrell go in search of old spectacles - to accompany an eye test poster he'd bought.  He couldn't resist trying some on including :
a John Lennon pair

On returning home after a walk I listened, as I often do, to Johnnie Walker's 70s show on R2. One of his guests was Mark Rye who talked about working for various record labels.  He recalled one occasion when he broke the rules and took his poorly dog to the studio.
Paul and Linda McCartney arrived and took a keen interest in Mark's dog.  Mark said he'd never forget the bizarre experience of discussing his pet's hernia with Paul! Johnnie followed this revelation with a Wings song: Jet.

I'm also a regular Antiques Roadshow viewer and on tonight's programme:
Hillary Kay valued a letter written and signed by George Harrison.

Browsing the charity shops of Hinckley I noticed a small book display in Age UK - two Beatle titles:
the Hunter Davies biography and "Shout" by Philip Norman.

On buying a cushion in Dunelm Mill I overheard a shop assistant telling a workmate about a friend/relative who was going to get ...
a Beatles' signatures tattoo...
So Hinckley has at least one Beatles enthusiast who wants to "shout" about it.

And finally ... I heard a Beatles song on the Lisa Tarbuck R2 show before an early evening drink in Burbage.  It was:
"Lucy and the Sky of Diamonds"

"Which Beatles album had a pop art cover"? General knowledge question on tonight's Mastermind programme.

And on reading yesterday's paper late last night I spotted this as well:
"When the Beatles released ... All you need is love ... it became synonymous with the free-loving flower power movement that was the 1960s.  Almost half a century later, listeners have no time for such sloppy lyrics ... the word "love" is less likely to be used than ever before" The Times. (20/03/2014) p15
In other words, love is not all we need.

Tom Hollander speaking to Hugo Rifkind about his role as vicar in BBC comedy drama "Rev" said:
"We went to Greenbelt, a Christian Glastonbury, without the drugs or the Rolling Stones, and we did a Q & A in a tent, and for five minutes we got a whiff of what it was like to be the Beatles in 1964, arriving in America" The Times. T2. (20/03/2014) p8
Maybe God is more popular than The Beatles!
