Playing Eleanor Rigby


Related topics:

One of the blogs I link to has the YouTube video of her daughter playing the Beatles' song Eleanor Ribgy on the piano. This is by no means the easiest song to play and she did a great job, so I thought it was worth sharing with my readers too.




It's always great when someone raises their kids up with an appreciation of the classics ...

For those of you who've never heard of this song, this was on their Revolver album, and released as a single on the backside of the Yellow Submarine 45 disc. Want to know more about this song? Check out the Wikipedia reference.

It's gonna be a hot Carolina weekend out there. Be sure to get out there and make it a great weekend, but stay out of the sun, drink plenty of liquids and keep cool!

    Wow. You go girl. My 4 year LOVES Simon & Garfunkels 'Ms. Robinson'...knows it down to 'here's to you Joe DiMaggio...' yet he came home from preschool to tell me they told him he couldn't sing it because it was an 'issue song'? What the hell does that mean? Next time I'll send him singing 'Goodbye to Romance" by Ozzy...that should get 'em.

    Thanks for the showcase!

    A week later, she's sounding even better, and starting to learn "Something," by The Beatles as well.

    And she's just ONE of my little prodigies. :)

    Nice Earl! Way to train them in the classics at an early age! I even started to sing along; "Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding had been, nobody came."
