I bet you he is still in the heavenly realm, inspiring us from beyond
and probably even working toward world peace.

Robbed? I don't think a talent like that is destined to be here
long. His was a celestial visitation.

Do you swim? Water often represents emotions, yes? Are you afraid of

That's..."all?" That's a LOT! The book is soooo good. How can he
add to the book but not have it effect how it accompanies the music?
Is that where the remixing comes in, or...? {scratches head}

Funny! We don't have any bald Beatles. (Does Paul wear a toupee?)
