"I've Just Seen A Face -- The Dillards

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvwJzbNj7U8]

Lovely bluegrass version of the Beatles song, "I've Just Seen a Face", recorded by The Dillards.

The Salem, Missouri band is noted for their occasional musical performances on [i]The Andy Griffith Show[/i] in the 1960s. They were pioneers in the development of southern California folk rock, country rock, and progressive bluegrass. And their influence extended to other musical artists, such as Elton John, The Eagles, and The Byrds. Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones has mentioned their influence in his decision to play the mandolin.

Founded in the late 1950s, the group continues to perform, but with a mostly new lineup. Rodney Dillard, who turns 79 years old today, is the only surviving original member of The Dillards and he remains active with the band. Happy birthday to Mr. Dillard.

I read a story many years ago by a woman whose mother was in a coma and dying. Her mother had sang "I've Just Seen a Face" to her when she was a child so one night she sang it to her mother. Her mother smiled, and died a few minutes later. The power of The Beatles!

@JohnOinger Yes to the first three questions.

You will be called Zeus-Apollo (or ZA for short) because you will have the best traits of both Gods.

I'd not heard that version of the song before, and it's quite good I think. Before I even read the text of your post I thought of this song :) :

Thanks to musicians like him, there are a few good songs that one can play on a mandolin. 😃🎼🎶

Btw, he shares his birthday with Ddonde! (As per Ginnys recent post)😊

@Vivaci Oh, I didn't realize it was Ddonde's birthday.
@Rutterman Yup...don’t see him that much these days.

and I mean good...not stood songs! 😅 That damn autocorrect was just getting OTT yesterday...wasn’t he, darling?

Have you seen The Andy Griffith Show? I don't think it has ever been shown in your neck of the woods.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@hunkalove Yes, I've seen it. They broadcast reruns of the show on one of the classic TV channels.
hunkalove · 61-69, M
@Rutterman My all-time favorite TV show. I have an Andy Griffith Show website.
Thank you, Sir. I've not listened to this, accurate though.

@checkoutanytime You're very welcome.
