    It's been 42 years since John's death so I thought listening to you play this again was appropriate. Thank you.

    Heartfelt and soulful, what more needs to be said? Absolutely the best fingerstyle arrangement I have ever heard.

    beautiful - you nailed the harpsichord break! So far this is my favorite Adam-Beatles tune.

    You play with much soul. Your expression at 1:53 is pure joy. I hope you will publish a DVD tutorial of your interpretation of Beatles' songs. Your playing makes the day worthwhile.

    I was thoroughly enchanted with your version of this song, I mean totally in the groove. And then you made that face at 1:52, and I spat all over my monitor with laughter. You've gained a fan.

    There are places I'll remember
    All my life, though some have changed
    Some forever, not for better
    Some have gone, and some remain
    All these places had their moments
    With lovers and friends, I still can recall
    Some are dead, and some are living
    In my life, I've loved them all
    But of all these friends and lovers
    There is no one compares with you
    And these memories lose their meaning
    When I think of love as something new
    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life, I'll love you more
    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life I'll love you more
    In my life I'll love you more
