Last night, a group of people sang a Reggae Birthday song for Steve. The recording isn’t a high quality one, but you’ll get the idea …

Regarding the Birthday song by the Beatles, John Lennon said in an interview done one week before his death: "Like all the Beatles White album songs, it was written in India. Once we had our mantra we sat in the mountains eating lousy vegetarian food with a lot of time to write all those songs. Paul wanted to write a song about birthdays, so he did that one.
It's a piece of garbage, but there is one interesting sound in it: We put the piano through a guitar amplifier and put the tremolo in, which may have been the first time that happened. This appeared in Playboy magazine, April 1981.
