Quote:Hi Ern,A little teaser:Who wrote the opening "harpsichord" motif for 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'?I had no idea, so I looked it up in me fab Beatle book! What the author said is the first thing I've questioned in the book: "A Hammond Organ, played by Paul, was used for the song's distinctive opening passage, being taped with a special organ-stop to give it a sound not unlike a celeste."A CELESTE? That's no bloody celeste! I'll have to listen to it again, but I remember it sure sounding like a harpsichord to me! Ern

Quote:The blue one and the red one?Nope, he had those made into a double-neck bass, which became purple in color. Rumor has it he sold it to the bassist in Spinal Tap! Ern P.S. I thought I posted this reply earlier --- either it got lost in cyberspace or I'm on drugs!

Quote:A cornflakes ad I think??Correct about the song in general --- But "Meet The Wife" was a BBC T.V. show! Lennon got all his lyrics around that time from sources such as billboards ("Mr. Kite") and T.V. ads.What a unique gent!Ern
