The Beatles are making a comeback, at least in our house. Elizabeth recently received 1, the compilation album with all 27 of the Fab Four's No. 1 hits. And it's been a hit here.Elizabeth and Robert listen to this constantly and Robert in particular loves to sing along. When he found out I could play Let it Be, for example, he joined in on the chorus.
For Elizabeth, the favorite song is Eleanor Rigby, and she was doubly impressed to hear -- from both me and Cate independently -- that the lyrics were in our literature texts in junior high. She likes how it's different -- if you recall, there are no drum, guitars or bass in the song, just a string quartet. Plus, she keeps her face in a jar by the door.
Robert's favorite, not too surprisingly, is Ticket to Ride. Presumably it's the love of trains playing a part.
But Colleen is the cutest. Her favorite song off the album is Yellow Submarine. Except, of course, that for most of a week she insisted that it was Blue Submarine. Only today did we manage to convince her otherwise!
We're within a week of packing up the piano. I'll miss my music.

I heard that vinyl is making a come back. We have them all on record and a turntable to play them on when you get here. Terry Walunas was so impressed when she was our babysitter and discovered we had all the Beatles records. We can impress another generation.
Michaeleen visited us when we lived in Lafayette, and she was not only pleased to see all the Beatle albums, but also they were the first ones she had seen where the inserted photo and text material was actually in the album. She had not know that the albums came with them because her friends had taken the photos out and taped them on the wall.
I like Ticket to Ride too- mostly due to the drum part.
My favorite Beatles song is She Said She Said (also on my favorite album)... sadly, not a #1.
