IN THE GROOVE (April 18, 2023)

Well, whaddya know? It’s tax day here in the USA! And what better way to say “Thank you” to The Man than by listening to one of the coolest songs written by George Harrison.

I know it’s an exciting day, another chance to show our gratitude for the privilege of paying taxes on our earned incomes. Wow … what a concept! As always, we tell it like it is here In The Groove. Just one of those things that make you go “hmmm”.

Now let’s all try to cheer down and have a listen to a really great tune. Follow the lyrics closely; they are spot on. As I like to say, “There’s not a single thing wrong with a George Harrisong!”

Every time I hear this song I’m reminded of two things: 1) the very creative and clever lyrics and 2) George’s incredible (and often overlooked) guitar playing.

So here’s the question of the day:

In my little blurb before the video, I tossed out the name of another great song written by George Harrison. Did you notice it?

I’ll have the answer for you next week.

Now here’s a reminder of last week’s question of the day:

Jimi Hendrix is a member of an exclusive and extremely unique club. What is the name of that infamous club?

And the answer is … “27 Club”. Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Alan Wilson, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment but it wasn’t until Kurt Cobain’s 1994 death at age 27 that the idea of a “27 Club” began to catch on in the public eye.

That’s it for another segment of In The Groove; come on over and join me Thursday At The Movies and don’t forget to check in on Deb tomorrow for another magic carpet ride through the World of Music!

See you on the flip side.
