There's an amazing photograph in the booklet that accompanies the CD of Paul McCartney's "Standing Stone," a new 78-minute work for chorus and orchestra.
At first glance, the photo looks like a routine shot of the London Symphony Orchestra in an Abbey Road studio during a break in the recording sessions. Some musicians are practicing, some are chatting with each other, and one is reading a book. A cellist, on the other hand, is looking at the music on her stand. She has her fingers in her ears, and she's sticking out her tongue.

Paul Obviously Couldn't Wait Any Longer for that Reunion Thing to Happen
The other day there was a story in the news about someone planning to clone John Lennon from the remnants of his teeth. This got me to thinking. My first thought, of course, was Beatles Reunion! My second thought was, well, I guess they'll have to clone George Harrison, too.
Then, we'd have to hope Paul and Ringo lived long enough to join the other two.
In this video, Paul obviously came up with a better idea.
It's really quite amazing.
Pmac playing with his former bandmates, singing I'm down in perfect time with the 1964 performance. Lennon and Harrison chime in almost as if they were still alive.
The 70-year-old Macca even let's his 20-something former self sing a few lines.
So, for the purposes of this video, we have five Beatles.
The original 4 plus the 70-year-old Macca.

The performance took place after McCartney's first appearance on CBS' Late Show With David Letterman, which is filmed at the Ed Sullivan Theater. The Beatles' historic first show at the studio took place on 9 February 1964.
