Musical Chain .....

[higherlevel4u]

I know ... I know .... I can hear the groans from here ..... not ANOTHER Higher musical thread .....

This will need a little research for each post, but it will be interesting to see where it leads to ..... I am going to start off with arguably the best band in history (I won't get into that discussion here ...) – The Beatles ..... then I am going to name another singer or band that has a direct link to the Beatles. The next poster must find a link to another singer, songwriter or band and then post that name, and so on ..... I think it will be interesting to see where it goes .....

Okay, starting with The Beatles ....

My first post is

John Lennon (member of The Beatles)

Next post must list someone who has a direct musical link to John Lennon ..... and of course, describe the link, please .....

Cheers, Mike ..... my belief as well, but not one to force on people, there ARE other contenders .....


So, who has a musical connection to Julian Lennon?

I believe it now falls to you to try to answer that question.
It would have been much to ez if I had said George Harrison.
