Thanks you all for those very gracious comments.  I am humbly grateful.

To answer some questions:

from left to right in the stereo field we have:
*slightly open high hat (which Ringo loves) lined into the BR600 from the DTExpress drum machine
   and Yamaha pads
*two tracks on the Taylor B1 acoustic, via audio technica 2020 cardioid condenser mic
*main vox, same AT mic, mid stereo field
*BR bass simulator-P79UprtPhsd; I wanted a sound like an upright bass so I used this patch but
  turned the MODulation off to drop the phasing.  And I used the Taylor guitar.
*three parts alternately used a spot way to the right in the field - harmonica, piano, vox
  harmonies- three parts, two tracks each part
I sent Hooper an early mix and he sent back a fine piano track with a nice honky tonk feel.
I did the rest, Mastered with unedited Orchestra patch.  I told ya Hooper's taught me a lot! 
He's a little older, and an immeasurably better musician. 

Thanks again for those wonderful comments. ;D  Constructive criticism is welcome too. :o

Let it be known, there is a fountain, that was not made, by the hands of men.

Never been into the Beatles that much, maybe 2 to 3 handful of songs (3?), but anyway I love this one. Nice overall feel and that honky tonky piano, harmonica & guitar sounds perfect. Very nice recording

Amazingly true-to-the-original cover. Vocals are bang on.
