No Reply – The Beatles

My sister brought home “Meet the Beatles” when I was 4 or 5, and my mom’s hopes for me to be a classical concert pianist (which were her parent’s hopes for her though in her heart she was a stage actress) went out the window forever.  I think I may have heard this song while we were traveling overseas, and was at about the same age simply thrilled to find “there was more”.  Its discombulating at my current age to watch the Hard Days Night concert scenes, as the members of the audience are so young, “babies”. Still, I love the raw sound and emotion of the song, the small jazz influence, the key change, to this day.
