Topic: Michelle (Pianoteq)
the beautiful tune by Lennon/McCartney, one of two tunes by the Beatles in the Real Book (the other is Yesterday). one of my favorite tunes by them. very simple but surprising.

Super-nicely done. I have always thought of this song as brighter, but I guess it's pretty darn dark!

Budo, you gave a splendid rendition of this song, some dramatic and powerful parts too. Your rendition is your own special translation of the music. It feels to me, when listening, that you really ”deliver”, so basically, your ”delivery” (giving) is the way you make the piece unique, probably because it is one of your favorite tunes. Hardly anyone else play this piece exactly this way. I enjoyed it
First minute intro, second minute ok here we go wow, third minute a bit different and, as always, the nice ending.
As a youngster I had to choose Rolling Stones or Beatles. I chose Beatles (have probably listened many times to all 350 songs and reading books.)
Interesting:
When Paul was working on the piece, Paul asked a teacher of french if there is any disyllabic female name and if he can translate ”these are words that go together well”
So he got Michelle and ”sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble”
Thank you budo. You make my day when I'm listening to your playing. I deeply appreciate it and enjoy it much.
Best wishes,
Stig

thank you very much for your comments. i guess the song easily could have been Avril or Chantal or even Clothilde! i'm glad the teacher picked this name instead.
i never knew that one had to pick Team Rolling Stones or Team Beatles. kind of like Yankees vs Mets i guess. they are both so different i never thought of them as being an either/or, but i guess i can see it!
the other Beatles tune in the book is Yesterday, another beautiful song.
