IT WAS 40 YEARS AGO TODAY SGT. PEPPER SHOWED ME HOW TO PLAY

It's not that unusual sounding today, but at the time it was a musical departure like I'd never heard. I had just turned nine, and was in Paul Sheya's basement. We played the shiny new disc he'd swiped from his older brother over and over and over. The experience changed me forever. I can't speak for Paul, but I'm comfortable suggesting that 20th century music was moved as well. Did you listen to Sgt. Pepper today?
