• The Mothers, The Beatles, and The Other Bands – Thoughts from May 12 and 19, 2024

  

  May 12, 2024 As I mentioned in my non-existent seminar, it’s Mother’s Day today. Patti and I no longer have living mothers so it’s just a reminder of what’s missing in our lives. We also don’t have living fathers, but we’ll deal with that when we get to Father’s Day. I celebrated the day by…
