Got another hour free today and recorded this very quickly. I hope to get more time next week to do some more of the fab four's stuff.
This is one of my many favourite songs from Rubber Soul

Thats a long haul you are taking on that milkshake (thats what it is right?). Sweet and simple and beautiful. I love that mandolin-like solo there. Its a beaut. Most days I tend to think of Rubber Soul as my favorite Beatles album with Revolver a very close second, other days it changes around, then there is Magical Mystery Tour, always liked that one...damn man its all good isn't it. Great song Geir.

Brilliant. Perfect. Right down to the Lennon intake of breath. This one fits you like a glove. And that mandolin-sounding part blew me away. What a brilliant interpretation; you've covered it beautifully and faithfully, but the special Geir touch we know and love is all over it.
In fact, I need to listen to this again straight away.
