“I wake up to the sound of music as Father Merton comes to me, speaking words of wisdom – let it be, let it be.”
I thought of Paul’s lyrics crediting Mother Mary for assisting him along the road of life. In much the same way, Merton does that for me. Check out this Thanksgiving-related message from him.
The above was part of a FB post on the International Thomas Merton Facebook Page. The following also appeared in that post from Mr. Brennan:
Here is the album version of Let It Be as produced by Phil Spector. Note George’s solo’s (2:00 and 3:25) where he is playing his Telecaster.
Now compare that to the George Martin-produced one that George did (1:57 and 3:23) on the Naked version below. George played this version on his Les Paul Gibson guitar. Listen closely and you can hear the difference(s.)
Note too that Gibson Guitar has been in the news recently for various reasons (click here.)
