Beatlesfest

I was at Abbey Road on the River in Louisville, which bills itself as the "world's largest Beatles-inspired music festival". Well, maybe it is...68 bands performing over 5 days on four stages. Bands with names like "Eight Days a Week", "Savoy Truffle", and the "Sun Kings" (not bad, the latter), some with cleverer sobriquets like "Backwards", and the rest, of whom "Nervous Melvin and the Mistakes" were a pretty decent local band that Jeff likes.
The low point was the "Beatrips" -- perfect instrumental sound and good costumes, but the Japanese accents were hard to take. Rovely Rita, indeed. The highlight had to be when a band announced they were going to play the second worst Beatles song ever and I knew immediately it was "Mr. Moonlight". No, it was the look on the GB's face when some band started into the day's third rendition of "Hey Bulldog", a song she despises heartily due to Rick and me playing the piano part for 38 consecutive minutes (honestly, no alcohol was harmed during the performance) but thought she was safe from for the weekend because who ever heard of that song anyway?
All in all, I could have done with a little more and the GB could have done with a little less, but at least I ate twice at Steak n Shake (it's a meal).
