Yikes!  Ali & I are both only 46.  I mentioned elsewhere that I spoke to my old HS best friend this weekend, and he informed me that earlier this week a guy from our class had passed away, 3rd one inside of a year.  Double Yikes!!

I was disappointed to hear that the real Lucy ultimately didn't care for the song.

This was wonderful - thank you!  Although as I lamented on Facebook, my deep interest in trying out this game is tempered by its ultimate reminder of my sadness that I can't play a real instrument.  Still and all - the designers did a really nice job with this, crafting something that's visually fun for both Beatles fanatics and casual players (and kids too young to be fanatics).  My only disappointment -- spoiler alert -- is the absence of "Penny Lane."
