      Thanks, Greg!

      I so love this Judy song, and I’m so glad you became a fan, but I always respect your good taste in music.

    Judy has one of the most perfect voices I’ve ever heard.

    I’ve glad you weren’t sold into slavery, you aren’t the type. Of course I love this song, and of course I’ve seen her many times. You sound like you are doing well, and of course I have missed you.
    Waving at the Kat who has more screws,

    John Lennon
    “In My Life started out as a bus journey from my house on 250 [sic] Menlove Avenue to town, mentioning every place I could remember. And it was ridiculous. This is before even Penny Lane was written and I had Penny Lane, Strawberry Fields, Tram Sheds – Tram Sheds are the depot just outside of Penny Lane – and it was the most boring sort of ‘What I Did On My Holidays Bus Trip’ song and it wasn’t working at all. I cannot do this! I cannot do this!But then I laid back and these lyrics started coming to me about the places I remember. Now Paul helped write the middle-eight melody. The whole lyrics were already written before Paul had even heard it. In In My Life, his contribution melodically was the harmony and the middle eight itself.”

    and here is something few have seen.The original missing two verses which mention the Liverpool places of his past –

    Penny Lane is one I’m missing
    Up Church Road to the clock tower
    In the circle of the abbey
    I have seen some happy hours

    Past the tram sheds with no trams
    On the 5 bus into town
    Past the Dutch and St Columbus
    To the Dockers Umbrella that they pulled down
