The song "Spiritual" by Pat Metheny which AP cites as her inspiration for the "dozy embrace" flashback reminds me very strongly of another song. And that song is...Let it Be, by John Lennon/Paul McCartney. Anybody else feel the same way??

I love "Spiritual." I guess the very deliberate playing at the beginning of "Let it Be" might be evocative of it. The song that I somehow associate with it, though, is "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley.

I'm not familiar with Jeff Buckley...hmm...this would be the second independent Beatles/BBM correlation that I am aware of. Gustavo said in NYC that the simple chord progression at the beginning of Wings is similar to that in Blackbird, but something like 'then it goes in one way and Blackbird another.'
Interesting, anyhow...
Ellemeno:
Lynne, I'm guessing you would really like the Jeff Buckley song. You can listen to 30 seconds of it on iTunes. (I prefer the 6:53 version of it, not the longer live version.)

Everyone in Denver is buzzing about the concert Friday by organist Paul Jacobs, chair of the organ dept. at the Julliard Schoo at age 30! I'm so sorry I missed it!!
