Sheila (Recorded Live in 1962 by The Beatles)

March 3, 2009

Sweet little Sheila

You’ll know her if you see her

Blue eyes and a crazy smile

 

Her cheeks are rosy

She loves and she shows me

Hey this little girl is fine.

 

Never knew a girl like

a little Sheila

Her very name drives me insane

 

Sweet little girl

that’s my pretty Sheila

Hey, this little girl is mine.

 

Me and Sheila go for a ride

I’m telling you I’m

feeling funny inside:

 

Then little Sheila

whispers in my ear

I’m telling you girl

I love you Sheila dear

 

Sheila says she loves me

She says she never leaves me

True love could never die

I’ll be really happy

 

just me and her together

 

True love could never die.

I’ll be really happy

 

just me and her together

 

Hey

this little girl is fine

 

Hey

this little girl is fine . . .

Music #2: Two Favorites by the Boys from Liverpool

April 21, 2008

After a day filled with serious news and other gravitas, I’m almost always looking to come down with music.  And I never have even the slightest idea where I will end up. Ave Maria is just as likely as Cream. Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto has as good a chance as Skeeter Davis.

Well here is where I went tonight. These are two of my favorite songs by the boys, “You Can’t Do That” and “It Won’t Be Long.” 

And yes, I did see them in concert in the summer of 1965, thanks my Mom, who surprized my sister and I with tickets when I got out of the hospital after having my tonsils removed.

I still have the stub and the program from that night. They played from a stage that covered second base.
