Everyone Knew Her as Nancy
That’s what I should have been singing after the Dogtown musician who specializes in covering Beatles songs asked for a request. Considering Nancy Pelosi’s skill in getting the longest Government shutdown in history to come to an end without giving in to Trump’s demands for border wall money, and the fact that I had been singing that line for days, I would have enjoyed singing along with others to Rocky Raccoon and his cast of characters.
But I didn’t think of that in spur of the moment and couldn’t think of a favorite to request either. How do you pick a favorite Beatles song? There are too many. Maybe he, Jan Britten Owen, already did my favorite, or at least “a” favorite, with “In My Life.” Everyone he did was a favorite, and I especially liked when he did a Traveling Wilburys song and nailed the singing voices of Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Tom Petty. He also told a great story about his band playing a McCartney song in a club in upstate New York when McCartney himself popped in and gave the band a thumbs up.

Any of their songs would certainly work for me. Sending good thoughts to Nancy to remain strong!

‘Here comes the sun’ is a special favourite of mine but as you say there are so many. I went to the Cavern in Liverpool a few years ago where tribute bands play Beatles’ songs all day long. Had the best time ever singing along.
