Dear Sir,

In the future, no one will be allowed to add to or subtract from a recording of one of my songs without my permission.

I had considered orchestrating ‘The Long And Winding Road’ but I had decided against it. I, therefore, want it altered to these specifications:-

1. Strings, horns, voices, and all added noises to be reduced in volume.
2. Vocal and Beatle instrumentation to be brought up in volume.
3. The harp to be removed completely at the end of the song and the original piano notes are to be substituted.
4. Don’t ever do it again!

The Beatles band is now 64 years since they got together, so why did they spell their name with an A instead of and E?

Some just learned the reason their name is spelled with an A is because it's a music pun, like the word beat. Get it?

Why didn't we all know this? Did you know this? I had posters of The Beatles in my bedroom and I never realized this.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wUDRIC5RSX4&pp=ygUUd2hlbiBpJ20gNjQgYmVhdG…
