Inspired by the Rutles, the Utopia album Deface the Music, the first album by the Spongetones, the Back Pack's The Grey Album and the long-since litigated away Beaten Path projects, I've been writing a bunch of Beatle pastiches for years now, with the conceit that I write two tunes per British album (or the American Magical Mystery Tour album, and four for the White Album) that would essentially be as quintessentially "those albums" as I possibly could make them. Because of my, er, "skill" on the guitar (which is a kind way of saying "my maladroit strumming"), this little exercise -- what I've always referred to as The Applesauce Project -- has always just existed in my head.

And then with my new iMac came Garageband 4, and with the recent acquisition of the Fab Four Virtual Instruments software from EastWest, I now have authentic instrument samples from signature Beatle instruments.

So.

Here are what I like to refer to as "sketches" -- ideally, these serve not as final pieces but as a demo for a Beatles tribute or soundalike band. One day...
