Here Comes the Sun - My Version

It is 1975. I called John Tranchese in Bayonne, N.J., today. He sounds just like he did when I saw him two years ago in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Tonight the radio played "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles. The first time I heard this album I was with John in Atlanta at Thanksgiving in 1969. We were at an all night party with friends. There was an early snow, and we took a walk in the light, dry snowflakes at dawn down to the freeway to talk about philosophy and our estimation of life and its meaning. We watched the sun rise in the early winter sky.
