Beatlesfest II: 'We Can Work It Out' by cuthbert & henwrench

[cuthbert]

Hey folks - it's been a while...  

Well, the end of another Beatlesfest approaches - I've had a few things cooking for it, but I wanted to get this one out first. Went back and forth with the good mr. henwrench over which Beatles song to cover, and when he suggested this one, I was hooked. The vocal henwrench put down makes it, for me.

I've always loved this song, especially how Paul and John worked it out as two parts: Paul's optimistic, bouncy part, and John's slightly impatient, reminder part. I found out recently that George suggested the waltz time in John's part - a nice touch that made this a fun song for me to learn and play. Another revelation (to me) was that John played the harmonium.

It's a short song, and so I was able to post a nice, high-quality 320 kbps mp3. So without further ado...

Thanks for listening,
cuthbert
