Blackbird Having a Bath

Blackbird Having a Bath
The common blackbird (Turdus merula) is a species of true thrush. It is also called Eurasian blackbird (especially in North America, to distinguish it from the unrelated New World blackbirds), or simply blackbird where this does not lead to confusion with a similar-looking local species. Quoted from Wikipedia.

Blackbird by The Beatles

Splendid capture and always a favourite Beatles track (I may be wrong but wasn't this a George Harrison compo?)

Ah yes, so it was - I confused it with While My Guitar Gently weeps (and how I confused those two totally different songs, I don´t know!!)

I am old enough to remember the Beatles starting out, Andy. Cheers, Joe

I had never heard both of them. And surely others. It's strange because I was 13 at the time.

You can hear them on Youtube, Dani. Cheers, Joe

Daniela Brocca club has replied to Joe, Son of the Rock club
I know, I searched them, that is why I know that I never heard them. I looked all the albums and there are a lot that I never heard. In each album I know only one or two. I was very young and maybe the radio did not pass them .

I am old enough to remember them as they were released. Cheers, Joe
