Welcome to Thumpin’ Thursday! I’ve dug back in time for this week’s video, and gone to a classic song, and one of our many Beatles cover songs.
The song is “One After 909” by The Beatles, from their album “Let It Be”. I wonder if this song is in their new Rockband game? Well, if it isn’t, it perhaps should be. It’s simple, but just has a catchy, bluesy feel to it.
I first heard this song thanks to Chris, when the two of us and our friend Alberto did a show at his house. This song opened the show and it stuck with me because of how catchy it is.
When you look at the lyrics, you see it’s definitely a train story. It apparently is about a man who’s going to pick up his friend/girlfriend/wife/whatever at the train station, but the woman, who was supposed to get on 909, gets on the one after!
I ordered a new HD TV yesterday because our old box went boom on me. I was watching Sportscenter Tuesday morning and all of a sudden “BEOUUUU”, and then that was followed by the smell of electronics burning. Not good. So, I purchased a 32 inch LG LCD with a whole lotta HDMI inputs. I was a little nervous, but then I noticed my cable box has an HDMI out.
Funny thing, is last week I said to my wife “Do you think it’s time to get a new TV?”
Stupid karma.
Editor’s Note: Unfortunately, Jeff’s acoustic cover song music videos are no longer on YouTube, but we decided to keep his cover song blog posts up. We figured these music blog entries would be good for posterity’s sake and because Jeff always gave such insightful posts each Session. We hope to see Jeff’s impressive catalog of acoustic rock songs here on the Laptop Sessions cover songs and origianal music blog again in the future. But, for now, please make sure to check-out hundreds of other acoustic cover songs from all of your favorite bands here on the Laptop Sessions music blog!
