Re: The Beatles on mandolin
The first time I heard a bluegrass version of a Beatles song was by a band that played at my college in Wisconsin back in 1973-1974 - a snappy version of "From Me To You." Wish I could remember their name (does "Monroe Doctrine" jog anyone's memory?) because they helped show me bluegrass could be hip. Contrary to Mick's opinion (but hey, if it works for you, great!), the Beatles song that's always sounded most like bluegrass to me is "I've Just Seen A Face" also from Rubber Soul. Lord knows I've done it that way many times, as have many others.
As I recall, Alison Krauss sang a wonderful version of "I Will." Don't recall if there was mandolin on it.
But that's just my opinion. I could be wrong. - Dennis Miller
