David Mason was the product of the great North Country brass bands. He was also principal trumpet of The London Philamonic Orchestra. Also he was professor of trumpet/cornet at Kneller Hall, Royal School of Military Music where I was priviledged to have a master class with him as an army cadet. I have always cherished that 45 minutes with a highly modest man and hero of any aspiring trumpeter. His obituary in the London Times newspaper was only one of many. Sadly, Kneller Hall was closed after 150 years and its school has been amalgamated with that of The Royal Marines near Portsmouth.

There are so many tremendous musicians on these tracks. So many of them, amidst a 40+ year classical career, have a story about spending three or four hours one evening at Abbey Road, and recording thirty or forty seconds of music that immortalized them and their talents for generations to come. I just found out that Sheila Bromberg, the extraordinary harpist who played on "She's Leaving Home" one night for nine quid, just passed away in 2021. What a treasure it is to have a few moments of greatness from these artists stitched into the fabric of popular music. Even if we don't always know them by name, these records have truly made them immortal.

I think that single, Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane is the absolute peak of the Beatles career. Recorded in late 1966/early 1967, right between Revolver and Sgt.Pepper. I mean if Revolver and Pepper were both 10s, this single would be like 11. Their very best as songwriters, recording studio technique pioneers,...You name it, it's there. That period between late summer 66 when they quit touring and just when they began recording Pepper is the most important and intriguing one. In august they were screaming "Rock and Roll music", a mere 3 months later they had re-invented themselves and their music.

There's a wonderful performance of this by Elvis Costello honoring McCartney at an event at the White House. They keep the piccolo trumpet player in the shadows until the solo and it's a magical effect when he appears and belts it out perfectly. The crowd roars its approval then and there. That solo alone is an absolutely perfect bit of music - honestly, Mozart or Bach would've been pleased with it. Now that I'm older, the song seems like perfection. It's so effortlessly conceived and executed it's easy to overlook how very fine it is on so many levels. The lyrics seem quotidian, even trivial, but they are, in fact, superb. They work indirectly, they put you into this magical time and emotional experience. There is so much affection and depth hidden in there. I can't hear that verse about the pretty nurse selling poppies from a tray without getting a lump in my throat.

Alan Civil played the French Horn part in For No One. I haven't seen any video of him talking about it, but I think, having spent a lifetime in classical music he found the only thing people wanted to ask him about was playing on that track. I'm pretty sure he played on a couple of other Beatles tracks as part of an orchestra, including Day In The Life. My sister and his sister shared a flat in West London around that time but I never met him.

While true, swing is certainly less popular now than in the 40's, the boogie woogie of the 20's even less, and the ragtime popular music of the 1890's even less popular again in the present day. Musical styles certainly seem to go out of fashion, and drum/bass guitar/electric guitar music is rarely played on commercial pop radio now; whereas of course these electric guitars were avant garde new release instruments in the 1950's and 1960's at the time of the Beatles. Nowadays, electronic music is of course predominant in pop (a genre only invented in the 1950's & 60's, popularised with transistor electronics in the 1970's and 1980's up to present day where programmable computers are more powerful than ever and can be easily used to make music).

Wow... it's incredible to me that David Mason played it so beautifully in the original but that the student (?) nailed it at the end is a testament to his teacher!! This is probably the most impressive trumpet solo I've ever heard and it leaves me in awe every time I hear Penny Lane.

He nailed it but not in tune with the original! The higher the note, the less leeway to match the pitch.

I’ve always felt like the Fabs started with the the trumpet part and built the rest of the song around it! Pure nostalgic joy…perfection!

The other day I saw a clip on utube about the harp player on Paul's "She's leaving home" and now this. All I can say as a lifetime Beatles fan (I'm 64) is thank you.

I always wondered about the sidemen who played iconic parts on Beatles recordings. Now I know.
