She Came In Through The Bathroom Window: Rush Hour Soul at Abbey Road
Hey Soul Mates,
well the last of the photos from our first tour of Great Britain are available for viewing. We spent the final day together seeing sights. We began the morning at EMI's Abbey Road studio where the Beatles made 90% of their records. Thanks to Bryan, we got to visit the actual recording studios where the Fab Four worked. We started with #1, where lots of musical scores have been recorded including Star Wars and Raiders Of The Lost Ark and All You Need Is Love. Then we went into Studio 2 and I nearly cried (again). For some it's walking into St. Paul's or the Louvre or the Capitol Hill Rotunda or seeing the Grand Canyon next to the Great Wall. For me, it was all those wrapped into one. A sanctified space in which to pay homage. Name a Beatles song, any song and it was probably put on wax in that room. She Loves You, Hello Goodbye, Help!, even The Word, which we covered during our tour. Bryan and I had been singing Good Morning, Good Morning from Sgt. Pepper on the walk from the tube to the studio. That was recorded in Studio 2, as well. The energy and history of the room was quite overwhelming, so I soaked it up. Below is a photo of the very young Beatles with producer George Martin in Studio 2.
Of course, most of you have already seen our recreation of the Beatles' Abbey Road record cover. There is a high quality copy now (suitable for framing) on our site.
Following the tour of the studio, Doug took the tube to Wimbledon to see Centre Court. Bryan and I did the heart of the city (Piccadilly, Tower of London, London Eye), but it was a brutally hot day. We were wilting by the time we got back to the hotel. That night, the group reconvened for a celebratory dinner at Bill Wyman's Sticky Fingers. A restaurant I love because it's decked out in all of Bill's old Rolling Stones' memorabilia. Plus the food is good. Special thanks to our tour sponsors KS1 Security for providing the feast.
We can't wait to Get Back to where we once belonged. The UK was very good to us. Our production continues to take shape. We hope to have the premiere of our new video shortly. Stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to visit our website and check out the pictures of RHS on tour.
Love, Power, Peace
