Hi Benny, It's good to hear from you!!! ... so you like the Beatles, huh, Abbey Road, especially. Yes I had these old Beatles albums saved as bitmap images stored on my hard drive... I have Sgt Pepper, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Magical Mystery Tour, Yellow Submarine, Hey Jude, Abbey Road, The Beatles, A Hard Days Night, and my all time favorite, Let It Be... I have long since forgotten the websites where I stole them from however. If you Google Beatles Album Covers as that should do the trick .. Anyway, thank you for your kind words!!

Hey John! I had every LP of the Beatles (you know, those big black flat discs with the hole in the middle). Maybe Walt will remember those things. I bought them as they were released. Yeah, I'm a big fan from way back when.

Those big, round black things with a hole in the middle? I just happen to have a box full right here. Dell Computers did a commercial with a background song I recognised but couldn't place. I called Dell and was finally led to a woman who asked around and identified the song. Then I remembered that I had that album, so I dug my records out of storage. Man, there's some oldies.
Sorry, John, only 1 Beatles (Sgt Pepper - didn't you mention that one, Benny?) Have 7 early Rolling Stones, tho - including "Englands Newest Hit Makers". Cheech and Chong, man, it's amazing wher my head was lo those many years ago.

Very Neat!! That has been made into so many T-shirts though, Do you know what album sessions he first wore that T-shirt to: Guess? Alright I'll give you the answer "The Somewhere in NYC" album....with that radical group, Elephants Memory. Good songs too: John Sinclair, Women Is the Nigger of the World, New York City, Sunday Bloody Sunday, The Luck of the Irish....

Rockkerr - you mean the 1962-1966 Beatles Blue Vinyl LP, 1967-1970 Beatles Red Vinyl LP, and the White Vinyl Beatles LP?

I never had the Blue or the Red ones, but I did have the White Vinyl at some point during my life - but someone stole it at a house party that I brought it to... yeah, that really sucks!!

I do have an Orange Vinyl Beatles Christmas Messages LP too, which has all the messages from 1963 to 1969.

Speaking of rare Beatles albums, the "Butcher" Apron Cover with the Meat, and Baby dolls...the Yesterday and Today LP is going for around, $2500.00 to $4500.00 today. Anyone have that? Or know anyone who does?

Since all of you know so much about music how come not one of you can figure out the song on the ringtones page and win an 8x10 glossy?

Vicky, why am I always the stupid one? (Don't answer that!)

Which ringtone do you meam? All I can figure out is there is supposed to be one playing on the main page. If so, I can't hear it. I hear all the others, but can't find/hear one as a 'mystery' tone.

:cry: Oh boo hoo hoo am I really that stupid? Poor Poor me, I'm so stupid I have to pull down my pants to count to 21. :cry: :roll:

Hey everyone,

I can't hear either - yeah, I'm in really bad shape ... lol!!! [Must be all the AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Judas Priest that I used to play in order to get the chord progressions].... Seriously I didn't know where it was as I'm kinda new here!! I will look further on my quest...."I'm off to see the Wizard, the wonderful Wizard of Oz"... :))

What Vicky means is - Can you guess the name of the song by the musical notes coming out of the cell phone? There are only 9 notes. That's not too many but if you know someone who reads music, then you have it half licked. It's kinda like "Name That Tune" in that you have to guess the title in only 9 notes.
Here's a hint - This song is in the key of C but I believe the original recording was done in the key of F. :lol: :lol:

Shoulda known, Vicky Vette, she's sneaky yet. Bet you thought we were all smart enough to finger that out, huh, Vicky? But, you were wrong, weren't you?

OK, wait, dah dummmmm, da, da, da, dummmm - I GOT IT, It's "Brown Sugar!" No, wait, dah, dummmmm, I GOT IT! It's I'M GOIN' HOME (by helicopter.) No, wait, It's The Norwegian NATIONAL ANTHEM!!! No, that's not it. Ah hell, I gotta think some more -- My head hurts. (Thanks for the hint, Benny.)

Thanks Benny I found it... it's on the main page of website under Vicky Media - My Ringtones. Anyone have a keyboard or a guitar? :)

Part I:

Walter I'll help ya, 'k - not sure if I can get the title though.... Let's see

The staff is using a treble clef so that's good - as opposed to the bass clef....

You remember the following from elementary school?

The lines in the staff represent:

Every Good Boy Does Fine

The spaces in the staff represent:

F A C E

We begin with a "G" quarter note...

Then a "E" half note sustained to an 2 "E" eighth notes, to a "G" to an "A" eighth note.

A "D" half note sustained to a "D" quarter note.

Ending with a "D" eighth note

Part II:

I'm trying this out on harmonica and singing it too...Let's see:

I'm thinking it can be a few songs:

1. "The Wedding March" aka "Here Comes the Bride"...
2. "Taps"
3. "Jingle Bells"

FINAL ANSWER: "The Wedding March"

Am I close? What say you Vicky?? ... A Big smile!!!
