"Flaming Pie"

( From Wikipedia ) The title Flaming Pie (also given to one of the album's songs) is a reference to a humorous story John Lennon told journalists in 1961 on the origin of The Beatles' name when they became newly famous: "I had a vision that a man came unto us on a flaming pie, and he said, 'You are Beatles with an A.' And so we were." The album itself definitively has a Beatles flair to it; "The Song We Were Singing" was written about the Lennon/McCartney writing team.

P.S. I noticed Ringo Starr will be at Chastain Park July 10th. Would love to see Ringo again!

"I'm a Born Again American"

This is an interesting video that my aunt sent me. She and her husband are missionaries; he is a pastor of a Baptist church in Sofia, Bulgaria.

The video is kinda like some of the videos on youtube, where people in different parts of the world collaborate on a song. Modern technology, eh?
