Well Saturday night and a mob of us was enjoying a nice bit of the Fourecks and munching guacamole dip with some lovely chips (crisps to those outside South Texas) out on the deck watching shooting stars – or maybe we were just shooting the breeze when the topic of music and love came up and natch, somebody brings up the Beatles (early-beatles). Well we were off to the races! Rubber Soul – The White Album – back and forth all night – Great Fun! Whenever I think of the Beatles I have to whip out m’ kerchief and sing a solo of She’s Gotta Ticket To Ride – It’s a fave… well, it’s my fave anyway. That lyric – it’ll adjust yer thinking for you – sure! Now ol’what’shername – J-J – prefers Karen Carpenter’s version and I gotta admit that sometimes so do I – I admit it – It’s Good! So Long – Short, we all decides we’re going to make a photo of Ticket To Ride. My new friend Dav and his old-lady lends us their cherry 59 Chevy Impala for the shoot and off we go onna trek to find the perfect stretch of road to re-enact the song – and here it is – shot as usual with the trusty Canon G11 – great cammy BTW – used wide-angle lens (RAW info says it was 6mm) on the car and then built the rest using a Ball-peen hammer and m’ fave version of Photoshop with more layers in it than most of you have ever even seen, for a fun night shot of how it all begins when – - – are ya ready for this? I think I’m gonna be sad, I think it’s today, yeah. The girl that’s driving me mad – Is going away. She’s got a ticket to ri-hide, She’s got a ticket to ri-hi-hide, She’s got a ticket to ride, But she don’t care. Woo-Hoo! – Roll Up – Roll Up – - – Ladies and Gents! Let’s Give A Great Big Thanks To The Beatles and She’s Got A Ticket To Ride! AND!!! Me for me fave pix to go with one of me all time fave tunes – Ticket-To-Ride ~:0) VivaChas!
