My Musical Journey. Part 8: The Baroque Beatles Book.

In 1966, I took a music appreciation class at Orange Coast College. As part of the section on baroque music, the teacher played us some selections from this oddity by Joshua Rifkin. 
I was amused by the idea of transcribing the Beatles' (who I still hadn’t come to appreciate) music into a period setting. It’s quite well done. And it did help me begin to understand the Four Moptops’ unique musical genius. I listened. I laughed. I learned.
