 Yellow Submarine

Well, I’m about to hit the road for Tanglewood and environs so it’s been a little hectic of late, but I wanted to leave you with at least this second installment of my recording session from within that fantastic Yellow Submarine!

So this is the view from within the cramped cockpit, and here’s the classic tune: what else would possibly be more appropriate to play in a submersible of this particular, uh, Hue??

Aside from the obvious YouTube links to essential Beatles Material, there have acually been odd submarine-related news items recently…did you know that Radiohead recorded their most recent CD on a massive yacht, including doing some takes in a submarine that was housed mid-ships?

And then there is the ongoing saga of Canadian sovereignty in the North…where to begin…I can’t seem to pull up the National Post article just now, but apparently while the Russians have been planting their flag on the Arctic seabed, and the U.S. along with numerous Scandinavian counties vie for that mythical ‘barbershop’ North Pole (hey, Santa’s North Pole must be red and white for a reason!?), our northern frontier is apparently being patrolled by Canadian Navy-issue yellow submarines!! I kid you not.

I wouldn’t joke about a thing like this; however unfortunately, if indeed this is true, it seems just perfect somehow.
