Here's my crack at a little part of the Abbey Road medley (definitely wouldn't have time to do the whole thing haha). Both these tracks have a real charm, especially Mustard. Love the harmonies and solo in Polythene Pam as well. I played the drums once again my Roland electric kit.

Spectacular job on all the elements! You are a skilled multi-instrumentalist. I enjoyed this a lot! I also noted: nice job on a very smooth transition between the two "song-lets"

Superb in every way - your attention to detail and sheer musicality make this such a great listen, and it sounds like you were also having a blast!
Well done, Keith!

Crikey!
I'll come back and comment more when I've assimilated all the talent there is on this - give me a couple of years.

I'm a bit lacking in my knowledge of the Beatles - I never really got into them so I have to admit I don't know these songs. But I can tell your playing, singing and production is top quality !

I clicked on this with trepidation. The medley from Abbey Road is one of my favourite pieces of music of all time, I think it's a complete masterpiece. Well, I needn't have worried, you did an amazing job here. It's a really, really impressive piece of work but I was so disappointed you didn't do more, I was ready to sing "She came in through the bathroom window" at the end...... Maybe next time.... ;)
This is beautifully played, arranged, sung and produced. You really know what you are doing Keith and I really enjoyed listening to this.

Oh my! Absolutely outstanding. I did these for a previous Beatles Fest (the whole medley), and they are hard to nail. Unlike me you've done them properly - attention to detail and incredible skills. The guitar tone (and playing) on Polythene Pam alone is rapturous. Completely brilliant!

Totally brilliant cover Keith...so faithful to the original.....you caught the essence for sure...I love how the energy kind of lifts up a notch on the P. Pam section....it makes me think that this was a very early proto punk song ....way ahead of its time....and you caught the vibe perfectly....and what a guitar solo.....you forget you are listening to a cover .....it's that good.....well done and then some
