Fantastic, I really enjoyed that. Helen your voice sounded so lovely. It was recorded so well, with just a nice touch of reverb. John, the accompaniment was first class. Hey, where’s my mandolin recommendation?

Great collaboration and awesome performance! It’s always heartwarming to see people from different countries playing and singing together: one of the things that makes this community very special and unique! Your voice, Helen, is beautiful, your mandolin, John, classly played and the guitar and mandolin accompaniment blended together brilliantly!

Awe, I appreciate all the accolades… this was a lot of fun. Helen is both lovely and talented. I am deeply humbled. Active Melody is so great for so many reason. I wonder if Brian ever envisioned his students conquering time, space and distance with so many outstanding remote collaborations. I am very pleased with the outcome.

Hi Helen,

The Beatles are for me the most creative band ever, with so many styles, including never before heard. Girl, for example, has a “real Greek” touch.
Your performance is excellent as always.Dieter

What a nice thing to wake up to on a beautiful sunny day in New Zealand. That was a great arrangement, and a great video. It was also very timely, since a new documentary movie on the Beatles is about to be released. Well done, guys!

Wonderful collaboration Helen and John. You both know that I’m a Certified Beatle’s Fanatic, and I LOVE this one. You two play so well together, and created your own take on this beautiful ballad. Helen even played copoed at 8th fret like the original.
No Rubber Souls Here. That’s real Soul.
Stay Well Helen and John, and thanks for sharing this collaboration.

Awesome, Helen and John. That was inspiring! The crowd here in Germany (my family) also went crazy and I can still hear the „Zugabe! Zugabe!“ calls ringing in my ear. More of that, please!! 👍🏽

I am humbled by your assessment. Thank you and it sure was a lot of fun (well the mixing part was a bit trifling) but all the love makes it worth it. Hopefully, there will be more to come.John

That was fabulous! These collaborations keep getting better and better! Well done both of you. Liked how you kept the arrangement stripped back so that John’s classy mandolin playing and Helen’s lovely vocals were both crystal clear.
But most of all it was just inspiring to listen too.
Standing ovation 👏 👏👏
