    Hey Mike. Fun fact. My Dad wrote Beep Beep. Donny Claps ..I always wondered when I heard that , being a huge Beatles fan …if that part of that song was a “wink wink say no more “ to The Playmates. My pops told me a funny story. . When they where touring England. They saw girls running around outside a theatre. And he asked the driver what’s going on. He said it’s this new band the Beatles. My dad thought “ huh” that’s a lot of crazy girls. Can I ask. Where you got this priceless piece of info and thank you so much You made my day and also my 91 year old mom

      Hi Steve, I must have driven everyone nuts as I went around singing that song as a youngster. I could never quite decide if it was a Dash Traveller or a Rash Traveller but now with the aid of google I find it's a Nash Traveller. Better late than never, I guess it wasn't that clear on the old vinyl anyway. Thanks for the story, nice to think it may have inspired the Beatles.

D7, G7, D7, G7, A7#5, Bm, G7, Bm, G7, Bm, E, A, D, G..... etc. Until seeing you play it, it never occurred to me that there's no rhythm guitar in it!

      Whenever anyone talks about someone "will soon break the Beatles record for #1 singles" just remember how many album tracks the Beatles never released as singles that would easily have gone to #1, and the fact that they're comparing a 7-year career to acts spanning 30-40 years.

Black was both a friend of the Beatles and a protégée of Brian Epstein. As the TV mini-series Cilla revealed, Willis was also offered a recording contract by Epstein, but Black objected, saying that she was the "star" and Willis was to be the road manager who would "drive my car"."

    Great. Sadly I'm not a musician and I can't play guitar for toffee, but I always enjoy the open and inclusive way you take us through each song. You've opened my ears to the Beatles musicianship enormously through your own excellent musicianship.

    I always liked this one--youthful bravado and all! Thanks, Mike.
