As the 40th anniversary of the release of All Things Must Pass is upon us, Jeff has convinced me (with ease) to join him for a tribute performance to the album at The Cat’s Cradle in February. I get to recreate the contributions of Badfinger acoustic parts throughout and sing from the title cut, which is a loose translation of part of chapter 23 of the Tao Te Ching — or so it is thought.

All things must pass
All things must pass away
All things must pass
None of life’s strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

And if you want some fun — take Ob-La-Di-Bla-Da.
Lennon & McCartney
We don’t like their sound, and guitar music is on the way out.
