Incredible String Bands

Is there something sad or sinister about listening to a string quartet playing a tribute to the Beatles, rather than grooving to the original band?

Perhaps this is just what happens when you get older?

I am reminded a little of when I first heard the soundtrack to Peter Van Greenaway’s excellent movie ‘The Draughtsman’s Contract’. I have always been a big string quartet fan, especially of Beethoven’s later works.

However, I would give a ‘big up’ to this current series of tributes…..e.g. Bjork, Radiohead, Dylan….etc…it’s ‘way cool’.
