    Does George sing lead on any other Lennon-McCartney songs besides "Do
    You Wanna Know a Secret?

    Also, imo, John and Paul did not leap out of the womb with all the
    tricks of Tin Pan Alley at their fingertips, so to speak, without a
    little help from their friends...in fact, I think they may have been tutored...maybe while they were slaving away in Hamburg...

    But he was dreadfully overlooked...

    Well, Cynthia wrote about how astounded she was by the improvement in
    their performances during the Hamburd time. Many hours a night in front
    of a live audience could account for this.

    I would like to know more about where the guys learned their stuff.
    There's video of McCartney talking about how they would take bus rides
    across the city to learn chords guys who knew more.

    On the other hand, McCartney has also mentioned that he and George had
    studied Bert Weedon's Play In A Day book.

    I don't think getting the whole story. John and Paul emerged with the equivalent of a certificate, of not a degree, from a source such as the prestigious Juilliard...

    (btw, Miles Davis was a Juilliard drop-out because he got bored with
    their teaching, but you can hear his excellent training in the elegance
    of his interpretations...)

    Since both John (hero, Tamino) and Bob (fiend, Monostatos) are both part
    of the opera The Magic Flute, they were likely both part of the
    experiment.

    It seems to me Bob had a team right from the start. They either wrote
    or helped him write some of his songs. They also provided him with
    almost unheard of opportunities, such as playing Carnegie Hall when he
    was still an unknown.

    Although John was naturally gifted, he and the rest of the Beatles may
    have had a similar team, in this case, to elevate what they were doing,
    both in composing and performing. The objective was for them to create
    a frenzy.

    The ultimate objective of this experiment, I think, was to use the
    emotions of young people, just coming out of the constrictions of the
    fifties, to, in effect, change history. And because they were using John
    and Bob, they were using the energy of the Mozart vortex to do this...
    And,of course, conveniently, they were keeping the power of the
    Zauberflote in the hands of the guys...

    just my 2 cents...

    Looks like there's only one other, "I'm Happy Just To Dance With You."

    BTW, I don't see Bob Dylan as having much in the way of natural
    abilities in writing music. In fact, I think just about everything
    connected to him is false. His natural ability is to vampirize the work
    and personas of others...I think this is what he did with Woody
    Guthrie...

    Paul, however, is naturally talented in writing music. So was George.

    But I think John was super-naturally talented. Nobody knew just where
    his ideas came from...and not unlike like Miles Davis, John kept
    shedding his skins. He was not comfortable with what happened
    yesterday...
