HAPPY 70th BIRTHDAY JOHN LENNON

We celebrate the life of the rock icon by which all others are measured. A man who was noteworthy for the highest levels of artistry, musicianship, humanity, and social awareness, all with a biting sense of humor which put it all in perspective. For all the years that we’ve been enjoying the music of John Lennon, we’ve never grown tired of singing along with those unforgettable tunes and trying to duplicate those amazing harmonies. God bless you John, and happy birthday!
