How it all began
The first song ever recorded by John, Paul, and George
Paul McCartney describes the Buddy Holly Influence (1980)
On April 2013, Pete Ham was honored by the City and County of Swansea,
his hometown, with the title of "Master of Melody". Along with his 1969-75 bandmenbers: Tom Evans, Joey Molland, Mike Gibbins, and Bob Jackson,
they were once hailed as "The New Beatles". Their story, however, as quoted by a life-long friend "... is a Tragedy of Shakespearean Proportions."

Paul McCartney once described the ballad as "...the killer song of all time."
I'm sure there are those who will say, "I don't see what all the fuss is about." And to some degree, after personally learning over 2,000 cover songs, I can see your point. There are hundreds and even thousands of great songs. But this song has a degree of complexity and simplicity that's just uniquely mystical. Take a look at the Clay Aiken Live Version and look at the violin player with the white badana sitting in the middle of the string section. I think she is a good example of what the fuss is all about; it's a taste of Heaven.

As Performed Live by BEAR McCREARY
Music by Bear McCreary - Lyrics by David Sanz
As each journey ends, one begins
one man's death dawns another
As each truth unfolds, knowledge grows
longing to... be set
free
I will live in ecstacy where my own angels fly free
I will live in misery where my own demons torment me
Only fate could know, love would grow
from a time long before us
(And) from our journey's end, once again
Truth and love... (will) carry on
I will live in ecstacy where my angels fly free
I will live in misery where my own demons haunt me
As my journey ends... hold my hand
Say good-bye... set me free
All My Best - David Sanz

Rio
As Recorded By Duran Duran
Living on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right you catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
I've seen you at the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two of a billion stars that mean so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
- Saxophone -
Hey now woo look at that did she nearly run you down
At the end of the drive the lawmen arrive
You make me feel alive, alive alive
I'll take my chance cause luck is on my side or something
I know what you're thinking I tell you something I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio, Rio dance across the Rio Grand
- Saxophone -
Do do do do do do Do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do-do do do do-do-do
The secret of creativity is "inspiration", stimulation of the mind and emotions
to a higher level of feeling or activity. But before you can be stimulated to act, you must first develop a reasonable degree of sensitivity, the capacity to respond to stimulation. One without the other is worthless, but together... they are the foundation for all human creativity.
