Paul and drums

Our kid was first in a group with John called Quarrymen, and apparently, I’d forgotten the set of drums fell off the back of a lorry, as we say in Liverpool, and landed up in our house. So I was learning drums, and one of the Quarrymen came back and said, ‘I remember you’re coming down the house, and it was great when you played drums for us.’ I said, ‘Did I?’ I’d totally forgotten. But then I realized why I forgot. It’s because I broke my arm in a scout camp, and this hand dropped. It was dead, paralyzed. So it took several years to get it back, and at that time, those drums that I was learning on, first of all, my brother, no wonder the drums on the band on the road are good. That’s where he learned it from my drums. But I couldn’t play anything then. So I’d forgotten that I was even the drummer, and Ringo got the job.

(Mike McCartney)

Mersey Beat Founder and Editor, Bill Harry wrote a guest column for Beatle Fan Magazine in 2019. He stated “For their August 7, 1961 gig, the Litherland Town Hall classified advertisement in the Liverpool Echo carried the message: ‘Hear Pete Best Sing Tonight.’ Best had been talked into performing the song “Pinwheel Twist,” which Paul had written for him to sing. Pete recalled in a conversation with Spencer Leigh: ‘Paul wrote the song and asked me to do it. He coupled it with Joey Dee’s hit “The Peppermint Twist.’ I used to get up and do the twist onstage and Paul played my drums. It was a little novelty act and it went down well with the fans. When The Beatles performed it, Paul took over on drums, George played Paul’s left-handed bass right-handed and Pete sang.”

(Source)

I used to get on Pete’s case a bit. He’d often stay out all night. He got to know a stripper and they were boyfriend and girlfriend. She didn’t finish work until four in the morning, so he’d stay up with her and roll back at about ten in the morning and be going to bed when we were starting work…

(Paul McCartney, Anthology, 2001)

Q: When did you first play drums? A: My first recollection is in Hamburg. You’d get behind the kit to try and show the drummer what you wanted. That gradually grew to messing around on other people’s kits, which were lying around because there were a lot of groups playing in the places we played. You picked up the simplest beats very naturally. I remember one evening when Tony Sheridan’s drummer didn’t show up, so Tony said, “Come on, man, sit in!” I said, “No way! I can’t do this.” And he said, “Yeah, you can.” So I did it and then I was thinking, “Well! I’ve actually done a professional drumming gig!” Later, with The Beatles, there was a period where John, George, and I operated as a trio and picked up little bits of work. I remember playing in an illegal club in somebody’s basement on Upper Parliament Street in Liverpool’s Caribbean Quarter. One day this guy called Lord Woodbine, who ran the club, asked if we’d come in and accompany this stripper called Janine. We said, “Wow! Yeah, man! There’s a job.” He even paid us money. Q: It sounds like you would have paid him for that gig. A: Exactly [laughs]. So she came in and said, “Okay, I need you to play Ravel’s Bolero.” We said, “Oh, gee. Sorry, luv. We don’t read music. But we’ve got ’Raunchy.’ That might do.” I had somebody’s old drum kit, and I sat there with a broomstick between my legs, with a microphone tied to it so I could do a bit of vocals and drum at the same time. It was hilarious.

(Paul McCartney, interview with Robert L. Doerschuk for Drum!Magazine, 2005)

Q: When Ringo joined the band, that must have interrupted your emerging career on drums. A: Yeah, I was completely redundant. We loved Ringo so much. He was our favorite drummer in Liverpool, and when he joined the band, it was an explosion: Every song sounded new and fresh. He could pass what we felt was the true test for drummers, which was to be able to play “What’d I Say” — the cymbal work and the toms.

(Paul McCartney, interview with Robert L. Doerschuk for Drum!Magazine, 2005)

We did do a few little bits and pieces together before we all went our separate ways. John and I and Yoko did ‘The Ballad of John and Yoko’. He enlisted me for that because he knew it was a great way to make a record. ‘We’ll go round to Abbey Road Studios. Who lives near there? Paul. Who’s going to drum on this record? Paul. Who can play bass? Paul. And who’ll do it if I ask him nicely? Paul.’ He wasn’t at all sheepish about asking. He probably said something like, ‘Oh, I’ve got this song I want to record. Would you come round?’ And I probably said, ‘Yeah, why not?’

(Paul McCartney, The Lyrics, 2021, about Dear Friend)

Steve Miller happened to be there recording, late at night, and he just breezed in. ‘Hey, what’s happening, man? Can I use the studio?’ ‘Yeah!’ I said. ‘Can I drum for you? I just had a fucking unholy argument with the guys there.’ I explained it to him, took ten minutes to get it off my chest. So I did a track, he and I stayed that night and did a track of his called My Dark Hour. I thrashed everything out on the drums. There’s a surfeit of aggressive drum fills, that’s all I can say about that. We stayed up until late. I played bass, guitar and drums and sang backing vocals. It’s actually a pretty good track. It was a very strange time in my life and I swear I got my first grey hairs that month. I saw them appearing. I looked in the mirror, I thought, I can see you. You’re all coming now. Welcome.

(Paul McCartney in Many Years From Now by Barry Miles, 1997)

I really had to ask myself, “Do I want to give up music, or keep going?” I got a four-track Studer recording machine, like the Beatles used for Sgt. Pepper, put it in the corner of the living-room at my house in London and tried a very simple technique of just plugging directly into the back, not going through a mixing desk. It’s a cool way to record because it’s pure. If, say, I was doing a drum track, I’d play the drums, record it with one microphone, listen to it back, move the mike a little if there wasn’t enough hi-hat or cymbal, and then re-record. Then I’d add bass by plugging the mike into track two and overdubbing while listening to track one through headphones. I’d do that with all with four tracks. It was very hands-on, primitive way of working. <…> It was funky, and still sounds good to me.

(Paul McCartney, “Wingspan” documentary, 2001)

We did not see Ringo until the next night when he arrived at the session. He walked in and went straight to his drums…fiddled with them, then fiddled with them some more. “Somebody did something to my snare drum,” he said irritably. “Paul was here last night. He played them,” explained John. “He’s always fucking around with me things!” It sounded as though Ringo were back in Liverpool and all of them were still teenagers and nothing in their lives had changed. I realized then, that no matter what might happen among them, this was the way they would always relate to each other.

(May Pang, Loving John, 1983)

(Krla Beat, pic by lisamarie-vee)

So, I got into my studio in Scotland and started working, doing the drum track. I normally start with the drums. I sometimes use drum machines, but I like to redo it with real drums. I enjoy drumming. Then I put some bass on it. I was just doing an experimental thing. I was messing around and experimenting. Slowing down tapes, or speeding them up.

(Paul McCartney, The Lyrics, 2021, about Coming Up)

Paul and I were in England, having dinner together [along with our wives]. I told him I was making an EP, and I said, “Why don’t you write me a song?” He wrote the song [Feeling the Sunlight] and put bass on it, he put piano, he put the drums on — and I had to take the drums off. [Laughs.]

(Ringo Starr, interview with Rob Tannenbaum for AARP, Nov 2023)

George was the first one to make a solo album [Wonderwall Music], and I was the drummer. John started the Plastic Ono Band, and I was the drummer. Paul likes to play drums himself, or I would’ve been on his albums too.

(Ringo Starr, interview with Rob Tannenbaum for AARP, Nov 2023)

Q: As strong as you are on bass, keyboards, guitar, and as a singer and writer, is it frustrating to play your drum parts at a more limited level? A: That never intimidates me, though it probably should. I just have so much enthusiasm when I do things that I don’t even consider it. I’m lucky, because some people would wrack themselves with doubt, but when I came to this project I was like, “Man, let’s just have a bit of fun!” It didn’t occur to me that I was some idiot jumping on the kit. I know that a lot of drummers can play rings around me, but as long as I keep it simple and don’t get too flash, I can play with a steady, swampy feel, and that’ll do the job.

(Paul McCartney, interview with Robert L. Doerschuk for Drum!Magazine, 2005)

[bproccoli]

it was a cloudless night. the moon hung high, cold light filtering through the window and casting angled shadows across the room. it made todd's limbs look unnaturally long as he walked the short distance to the opposite bed.

the mattress dipped down as he sat causing neil to open his eyes.

"what's wrong?" he asked, worried.

"i should be asking you," todd replied with a yawn, gesturing behind him. "i could hear you toss and turn all the way over there."

"did i wake you? sorry. i couldn't sleep"

"nervous for tomorrow?"

"a little," neil smiled. "rather than nerves it's more… excitement."

goosebumps formed along todd's arms from the cold.

neil noticed, adjusting his position before lifting the edge of the blanket. "here."

todd slipped inside, naturally gravitating towards the warm spot left by neil's body heat. his entire demeanor relaxed, sinking into the soft sheets, surrounded by a comforting scent, faint but familiar—neil's.

"want me to run lines with you?"

"you look like you're about to fall asleep any second."

"with how much i read the script, i can even recite it with my eyes closed."

a quiet laugh. todd felt—more than heard—it from where his and neil's shoulders were touching, separated only by the fabric of their clothes.

"is that so?"

"is that a challenge?"

"no, but go ahead." neil softly nudged todd with his shoulder.

todd started reciting the first verse that came to mind. it was oberon's.

i pray thee, give it me.

his hands wandered as he recalled each line, unable to stay still.

i know a bank where the wild thyme blows,

at first, fiddling with the edge of his shirt, just for something to do.

where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,

then it moved, to the left. like root to water, like moth to flame, towards neil.

quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,

until their pinkies touched, followed by the rest of their fingers, palm resting against the other's.

with sweet musk-roses and with eglantine:

neil's hand felt slightly cold. todd held it tighter to keep him warm.

there sleeps titania sometime of the night,

there was a rustle, as neil turned to look at todd.

Lull'd in these flowers with dances and delight;

and another, as todd looked back.

And there the snake throws her enamell'd skin,

he saw neil smiling, so gently, so fondly, that he almost forgot what he was going to say next.

weed wide… enough to wrap a fairy in:

neil laughed, dimples showing and todd's mind went completely blank except for one thought.

if he kissed it, would it sink even deeper?

and so he did, lightly, a swift brush of lips against skin.

neil froze mid-laugh, caught by surprise. todd watched as neil's wide-eyed expression faded from his face, as he slowly processed what happened, as his adam's apple unconsciously bobbed up and down his throat.

silence.

"what's next?" neil's voice was quiet, barely above a whisper.

todd's eyes flitted towards neil's lips.

neil caught it. fighting back a smile he asked, "the next line. what is it?"

"...i forgot. "

"you said you could recite it with your eyes closed."

todd stared at neil—eyes bright under the moonlight, back was the playful glint that had been absent the past few days. and so todd played along, he recalled the entire verse in his head until he reached the line where he previously stopped. then, he continued. and as he spoke, each line soft and breathy, he inched closer and closer to neil. until all that's left between them were warm exhales caressing each other's cheeks.

at the end of it all, he smiled, and asked quietly.

"can you kiss me now?"

neil's lips parted as he sucked in a breath. a beat, before puck's lines flowed from his tongue effortlessly, like second nature. only, it now carried a different meaning.

every word purposeful, he replied.

"fear not, my lord, your servant shall do so."

[pathofregeneration]

...the whispering pines; the streams that splash; the dark tresses that float and swirl upon the surface of the deep loch hidden in the trees; the holy vespers that rise from the woods in the West amid the evening scent of woodbine… yea, all, even all, within my woods, sings its glory to the Lord.

— Wandering the Woods

[otherworldseekers]

Titania:  Sleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms.

             So doth the woodbine the sweet honeysuckle              Gently entwist; the female ivy so              Enrings the barky fingers of the elm.              O, how I love thee! how I dote on thee!

....

Oberon:  Now, my Titania; wake you, my sweet queen.

Titania:  My Oberon! what visions have I seen!               Methought I was enamour'd of an ass.

              Come, my lord, and in our flight               Tell me how it came this night

~A Midsummer Night’s Dream

This is Part Two. See Part One.

The #cringefail of Dorian Gray

Chapter 1, Part 1

The room was poppin' with that sweet smell of roses, and when the light breeze rustled the trees outside, the heavy sniffos of lilacs or the soft perfume of pink thorns floated through the open door. Chillin' on a divan made of Persian saddle-bags, Lord Henry Wotton was puffin' on countless ciggies. He could just spot the honey-coloured blossoms of a laburnum tree that was legit lit like a flame, and sometimes he could see the shadows of birds flyin' past the long silk curtains, giving this cool Japanese vibe. The buzzing of bees flyin' around in the grass or circling around the dusty woodbine vines made the silence feel even more heavy. The distant roar of London sounded like a deep organ note in the background. Right in the middle of the room, bolted onto an upright easel, was a full-length portrait of a suuuuuper hot dude. The artist who painted it, Basil Hallward, was sittin' in front of it, a little ways away. He went missing a few years back, which caused a heckton of drama and weird theories. The painter was straight-up vibin' as he peeped at the dope and fly form he had just expertly captured in his artwork. A big grin of satisfaction spread across his face, and it looked like it was gonna stay there for a minute. But then, he bounced up suddenly and closed his eyes, puttin' his fingers over his lids like he was tryna glomp a lit dream he didn't wanna wake up from.

A Little Bare

By Paul McCartney

Mersey Beat: September 6 1962

Paul McCartney John, George, Stu and I used to play at a Strip Club in Upper Parliament Street, backing Janice the Stripper. At the time we wore little lilac jackets...or purple jackets, or something. Well, we played behind Janice and naturally we looked at her...the audience looked at her, everybody looked at her, just sort of normal. At the end of the act, she would turn round and...well, we were all young lads, we'd never seen anything like it before, and all blushed...four blushing red-faced lads.

Janice brought sheets of music for us to play all her arrangements. She gave us a bit of Beethoven and the Spanish Fire Dance. So in the end we said 'We can't read music, sorry, but instead of the Spanish Fire Dance we can play The Harry Lime Cha-Cha, which we've arranged ourselves, and instead of Beethoven you can have 'Moonglow' or 'September Song' - take your pick...and instead of the 'Sabre Dance' we'll give you 'Ramrod.' So that's what she got. She seemed quite satisfied anyway.

The Strip club wasn't an important chapter in our lives, but it was an interesting one.

Editor's note: Paul used to regularly send letters to me when he traveled and I decided to include some excerpts in Mersey Beat. This amusing piece was illustrated by a photograph of Paul credited to Francis Michael. This was actually Paul's brother Mike and was his first photograph to be printed in a newspaper.

The strip club appearance took place in July 1960 at the New Cabaret Artistes club at 174a Upper Parliament Street. Strip clubs were illegal in Liverpool at the time as the city had a Watch Committee which strictly enforced moral laws. The club, which had a short life, was run by Lord Woodbine and Allan Williams and Williams had hired a big-busted stripper from Manchester called Janice. Janice refused to perform unless she had a live group backing her, so Williams hired the four-piece Silver Beatles to provide her backing for one week. The group didn't have a drummer with them and comprised John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Stuart Sutcliffe.

I doubt if John and Stuart were red-faced, they spent many an hour drawing from nude models in the art college Life Rooms and actually found it boring.

Hob is humming lightly to himself as he works on the car, but pushes himself out when he hears the rather distinctive sound of hoofbeats approaching. Levering himself to his feet, he is confronted with the sight of the angry young lord from last week standing rather incongruously in the entry of his garage. He is dressed for riding in a dark blue coat and jodhpurs that are fitted so well that they immediately have Hob’s thoughts going to low places, and holding the reins of a large black horse.

Morpheus's eyes pass over Hob again, the same cool indifference as before. He  certainly is handsome, Hob thinks, with his fine aristocratic features,  perfect pale skin and arresting blue eyes,  but very cold.

“Mr Gadling,” at least he acknowledges Hob this time, even if it is rather curt. That is to be expected, Hob supposes, after all, he is only the staff. “I require you to drive me to Ripon tomorrow afternoon; I have a meeting of one of my charities to attend.”

“Very good, my lord,” Hob says.

“Take a sandwich for yourself,” Morpheus continues, as if by rote. “We will be a while and shall miss dinner.”

“Thank you, I will. What time do you wish to depart?”

“4pm. I cannot be late so do not be tardy,” and without waiting for a reply, Morpheus turns on his heels and stalks back out of the garage. Hob stares after him, unashamedly admiring the view, but then his eyes catch on something else: Morpheus’s gelding is limping as he follows his master.

“Lord Morpheus!” he calls after the other man. “Your horse is lame.”

“I am aware,” Morpheus says icily, stopping but not turning back and Hob winces to himself. “Hence why I am walking, not riding. I simply have not found Lynch yet.”

“Mr Lynch is out, my lord,” Hob says, “I can take a look at him, if you like?”

Morpheus looks back over his shoulder then, regarding him suspiciously. “And what would you know of the care of horses? You are a chauffeur.”

“Ah, I like all sorts of horsepower, me,” Hob says with an easy shrug, walking forward to scratch the gelding on the neck. The animal turns his head to lip at Hob’s shoulder curiously, blowing warm air in his face. “Anyway, I looked after the horses on my dad’s farm. Best job in the world.”

“Then why on Earth did you leave?” Morpheus draws fine black eyebrows down scornfully. He is a bit of a moody bugger, isn’t he? Hob thinks cheerfully, but maybe he has cause. At this close proximity, and despite the aroma of the horse,  he can smell the omega’s scent properly and it is delightful: layered, and delicate and beautiful. Woodbine, absolutely, and vanilla, but under that a hint of jasmine, and citrus and a zing of black pepper. He smells of heady summer evenings and the promise of the night. Hob has not had this strong a reaction to the scent of an omega since… well, since Eleanor. Not that this will be a problem. Why would it be? He is the epitome of professionalism and this fancy young lord would not look at him twice anyway. 

“See the world?” he finds himself saying.  “Nah, my mum wanted me to have a chance at bettering myself.”

“As a chauffeur?” Morpheus sounds more than a touch incredulous and Hob chuckles slightly. 

��It’s a good place for one such as I, my lord,” he says and watches a rather fetching blush stain Morpheus’s pale cheeks as he realises he is being rude. Hob takes pity on him and changes the subject back to the horse. “He’s a fine animal. As fine as I’ve seen. Let me see if I can help him?”

Morpheus’s face softens slightly and he glances from Hob to his horse and back again. “Yes, he is," he agrees quietly. “Have a care with him, Mr Gadling, for Raven has always taken great care of me.  I should be loath to lose him.”

***

Hob is not tardy but Morpheus is still scowling fiercely when he brings the car around the next afternoon. Perhaps his lordship's definition of 'not tardy' matches Hob's definition of 'bloody early' and he resolves to be early next time. 

Morpheus waits for Hob to hop out and open the door for him, then enters and settles without a word. They drive in silence for a few minutes, but Hob is a garrulous fellow by nature and can't cope with the quiet.

“D'you think you'll get your way”' he asks, looking at Morpheus through the rearview mirror. The other man's head lifts from where he'd been contemplating his lap and his eyebrow arches inquiringly, clearly surprised to have been addressed by the chauffeur. “About the Duke, I mean?” Hob continues and at Morpheus's continued silence, he clarifies. “Only I couldn't help overhearing your, uh, your conversation with his Lordship the other day and it sounds like you believe in omega rights?”

Morpheus considers him with cold blue eyes before turning to look out of the window. Hob thinks he’s going to be ignored completely, but Morpheus finally answers.

“I suppose I do,” he says neutrally, the 'and what of it?' is unspoken by implied.

“Only, I'm quite political myself,” Hob says. “In fact, I brought some pamphlets that I thought might interest you. About the vote an' all,”  he reaches over to the passenger seat to pick up the small pile of papers and hands them back over his shoulder to Morpheus.

The other man gives him a long, speculative look, but takes the pamphlets from him. 

“You are very bold,” he says curiously. “I do not believe our last chauffeur even initiated a conversation with me, let alone tried to give me radical literature. You must be aware that this is not exactly the most forward thinking of houses that you have come to work for.”

'Well, from what I overheard, you seemed like a safe bet. Think I’ve got you figured already,' Hob shrugs nonchalantly, grinning at the unimpressed look he can see on Morpheus’s face through his rearview mirror.

“Indeed? You are the only one, then.  Perhaps I need to be more circumspect with my views in future,' Morpheus says dryly. “but I ... thank you for the pamphlets, anyway. Only, do not mention such things to my father. He is rather stuck in his ways. One whiff of reform and he hears the rattle of the guillotine.”

Hob laughs easily. Yes, he would've pegged Lord Endless as a conservative all right; insistent on clinging to values that have no relevance in the modern world. 

“I have never been to a political rally. I do a lot of charity work but that is not the same. I have always wondered what they are like.”

“Well, add it to your list,” Hob says.

“I beg your pardon?”

“Your list, my lord? The list of things you’ve never done but would like to. Then as you do ‘em, you tick ‘em off. Very satisfying. Thought everyone had a list? For example, I’ve never eaten an oyster; that’s something I’m gonna try an’ do. Get myself to the coast one day and try and oyster. Tick it off my list.”

Morpheus looks baffled. “Oysters are not worth the effort of travel. They are vile.”

“Well, I wouldn’t know, my lord, having never tried one before. Though now I look forward to finding out if you are right.” Hob laughs. “What’s on your list, then?”

“I do not have one.” his passenger says firmly, still looking confused.

“Then you should definitely start one, my lord. I highly recommend it. Adds purpose. And sometimes excitement.”

Morpheus doesn’t reply except to continue to look perplexed. Hob lets it go.

“Forgive me,” Morpheus continues, after several minutes of driving in silence. He has clearly been contemplating something, and it’s not The List. 'But it seems rather... unlikely. A revolutionary chauffeur.”

“Maybe,” Hob agrees, “but I'm a socialist, not a revolutionary,” he grins at the road ahead of him. “and I won't always be a chauffeur.”

“Have bigger plans, do you?”

“Always. Always looking ahead, me. Times are a changing, I could be anything. An' I will be. A journalist? A politician? Who knows? Same for you, my lord.” he nods at Morpheus’s reflection.

Morpheus's face turns cold,  those lovely lips compressing to a thin line. “My path is set. You have choice and I have a duty,” he says tersely, and turns back to staring out of the window, effectively cutting off any further conversation. They drive the rest of the way in silence, but every time Hob glances back at his passenger, Morpheus's eyes are turned down, looking at the pamphlets in his lap. Hob grins to himself. He knew he’d like this one.

Dreamling Abbey

My fic for the @the-centennial-husbands-bigbang !!

No lie, guys: I decided to do this after coming out of a heart scan at the hospital on the sign up deadline. The thinking being: I could have a dicky ticker here, why not try something new? And this was perfect because if there's one thing I know about myself, it's that I need a deadline.

And so here we are.

I am MOST affronted by how hard this was?! And how bloody long it took me (mostly because I spent a lot of time staring into space or relentlessly googling 'did they have xyz in Edwardian England) All you wonderful, talented writers have made it look so easy that all that effort came as somewhat of a shock. Honestly, I am deeply saddened that the copious amount of Dreamling fic I have voraciously consumed in the past 18 months has not magically made a fantastic author out of me. Why does osmosis not work for writing?

If you read, I hope you enjoy!

(The ticker's fine, by the way. Not dicky at all.)

Fic Summary: Lord Morpheus is the eldest child of the Earl and Countess of Endless, an ancient family hiding huge debts behind a fine name. As an omega, Morpheus cannot inherit his father's title or the family's ancestral home. His function is simple: secure a match that is both socially advantageous and financially viable, thus securing the future of the estate and the title of Earl of Endless for his offspring. The family believe that their troubles are solved when Morpheus dutifully (if reluctantly) becomes engaged to his wealthy cousin, Patrick. However, all their carefully laid plans are thrown into chaos when Patrick drowns on the ill-fated Titianic.

Now Morpheus is navigating treacherous waters of his own and discovering how tight the ties of family loyalty bind him. Will the charming and handsome Duke of Crowborough prove his saviour? Or will the wealthy yet odious Sir Roderick Burgess ensnare Morpheus in plans of his own?

Meanwhile, the family’s new chauffeur, one Robert Gadling, is muddying the waters of Morpheus’s existence even further- where is the line between a servant and a friend? Can Hob help Morpheus see that life exists beyond the confines of family and function?

Chapter 1: Complications with the Great Matter.

April 1912.

The papers had been late this morning. Not that Morpheus notices their tardiness. Serious daily newspapers are the preserve of his father and since Morpheus has little interest in the society gossip that proliferated on the pages of The Daily Sketch, the only periodical he is allowed in his room, he rarely bothers to glance at it. However, the large photograph blazing across the front page is so arresting that he finds his eyes drawn to it immediately, ignoring all else on his vanity to take the paper and read.  It is bad news of course, the papers rarely print anything but.  ‘DISASTER TO TITANIC ON HER MAIDEN VOYAGE’ boldly proclaims the headline, beneath which is black and white image of the doomed liner, adjoined by one of her seemingly also doomed captain, John Smith. Morpheus’s eyebrows draw down as he reads the brief article: so many presumed dead, so few saved.  They would know people, of course. His mother knew the Astors, and they had dined with Lady Rothes only last month. Still, the privilege of first class likely meant they would be amongst the survivors. Those below decks… on their way to a better life, well they would not have been so fortunate. What a tragedy, Morpheus sighs and closes the paper. This news rather put his own woes into perspective-

The door bangs open and Desire flounces in without so much as a by your leave, as is their way. 

“Dream!” they shout without preamble, then glance at the newspaper in his hands with a slight moue of disappointment. Being the bearer of bad news is something Desire takes a measure of delight in, “Oh, you’ve seen already, Huh,” They shake their head, before bending over Morpheus to look more closely at his paper, hand gripping his shoulder. This close, the smell of the perfume Desire favours- a rich and spicy aroma deliberately chosen to overwhelm their natural omega scent- makes him wrinkle his nose and move his head away. Desire’s fingers tighten on his shoulder and they huff in amusement. They are not strictly allowed to wear perfumes but Desire goes their own way with everything.  “When Jessamy told me, I thought she must have dreamt it!” Desire continues in a low tone, meeting Morpheus’s eyes in the mirror.  “To think, we were just talking about that ship the other week. Remember how excited old Lucy Rothes was? Supposed to be unsinkable- ha!”

“Every mountain is unclimbable until they climb, so every ship is unsinkable until it sinks,” Morpheus responds neutrally, putting the paper down and shrugging Desire’s hand off to stand. Desire moves with him, smoothing their hands over the non-existent wrinkles on the shoulder of his jacket before adjusting his already meticulously placed tie pin. Morpheus endures the attention for a moment before once again moving away. He does not enjoy this close scrutiny and Desire knows it, but it is always a delight of theirs to make him feel uncomfortable.

“Hm” Desire hums then shrugs, “Come on, now you’re all sorted, lets go to breakfast. Aponoia said she saw the telegram boy come by. I want to find out if there’s any more news. Won’t it be something if someone truly important drowned? Gossip for weeks.”

***

The papers always print bad news. Of course they do. But that news is viewed through a detached lens. Shocking, of course, but not too close to home. Telegrams though- that’s different. They take that news and make it personal. 

Breakfast had proven to be a fraught affair. Their father had been away from the room when they first arrived, speaking with their mother so they were to learn, but he had soon been back and imparted the news of their family’s misfortune to his children with unusual brevity. Then he had left without saying anything further, leaving the three of them to process the news alone: the news that Patrick Endless, their wealthy cousin and Morpheus’s fiance, had been aboard the Titanic with his father, James and neither were listed among the names of the survivors. Morpheus had not felt like eating further and had removed himself back to his rooms with his siblings following uninvited (though not strictly unwanted). He had wanted to think but he also knew the danger of getting lost so deeply in his mind, so Desire’s sniping and Aponoia’s quiet presence would be… grounding. 

The stupid thing was that Patrick was not even meant to be on that cursed ship; he and his father weren’t expected in New York until May. Why? He thought Why did they go? And without saying anything? Perhaps Patrick had planned to telegram from New York- a boast and a surprise. 

“Turns out that the lure of the Titanic’s maiden voyage was too strong.” Desire says as if reading his mind, and with a hint of mischief in their golden eyes. They lounge dramatically against the doorframe whilst Morpheus stands and stares out of his window, gazing at the grounds below. It all looks so quiet, so normal. Why doesn’t he feel sad?  Desire continues, “They wanted to be part of history and now they are history.”

“Desire,” Morpheus chides half heartedly. It is a crass statement but he can’t find it in himself to react more strongly. Maybe they are looking for a reaction from him, or maybe this is now how his sibling processes strong emotions. It certainly seems in character. Aponoia has not yet spoken. She just sits unmoving, staring vacantly ahead, toying with the ring on her finger, turning it over and over. He himself feels oddly disconnected from the news. How is one meant to react upon learning that their intended had been so suddenly and shockingly killed- drowned in the icy waters of the North Atlantic, their frozen corpse not even recovered, just left to sink and rot in the sea. Dream blinks slowly, probably not like this, he thinks vaguely. He feels there should be some weeping and wailing involved at the very least. 

But there is only numbness.

***

“Uh, I detest black,” Desire flounces into the room the next morning whilst Morpheus is busy writing in his journal. He enjoys writing, it helps to order his often scattered and rebellious thoughts. 

Jessamy, the maid he shares with his siblings, has just finished fixing his hair and is busily setting his bed to rights, plumping the pillows and smoothing the coverlets.  Desire regards themself critically in Morpheus’ tall mirror, turning this way and that. Aponoia trails after them silently. She is also dressed in black and it makes her look even more wan and washed out than usual. As for Desire, their outfit may have been the requisite black, but it still looked to Morpheus to be sufficiently rakish as to raise their parents’ blood pressure. Hardly proper mourning material. “At least going into mourning won’t ruin your aesthetic, Dream dear,” Desire stretches languidly and collapses back on the just-made bed, smiling thinly. “Always a silver lining somewhere.”

“Full mourning still seems a lot for a cousin,” Morpheus replies vaguely. He tries to pay little attention to his siblings, bent over his journal and writing quickly. The habit of diary writing was born of necessity: a strategy to help quiet his mind, he’d been told, but now it is a pleasure. 

“But not for a fiance,” Aponoia’s voice is quiet. There is no accusation in her tone, only the retelling of fact.

Morpheus huffs slightly. “He was not really a fiance.”

“No? I thought that was what you call a man you’re going to marry?”

“I was only going to marry him if nothing better turned up,” he turns the page and continues writing.

“Morpheus! What a dreadful thing to say!” Desire looks simply delighted. “Poor dear Patrick was absolutely besotted with you. It was quite pathetic to witness really- your indifference and his lovelorn obsessiveness,” they shudder theatrically. “Perhaps it’s a good thing he drowned; saved him from a miserable life with you as husband.”

“You dare suggest I would have been a poor husband to him?” Morpheus demands, slamming his diary closed and rounding on his sibling. Desire shrugs insouciantly, fiddling with a diamond earring.

‘“Well you didn’t love him. Barely liked him. And he wasn’t the cleverest where you were concerned, but he would have seen it sooner or later, and hated you for it. Of course, I could wish an unhappy marriage upon you, dearest brother. But Patrick? He deserved better.”

‘Better?’ Morpheus raises his eyebrows. Desire’s words were often full of spite towards him but this was such a quick switch around from mocking Patrick to defending him. Was there something here he had never seen? Never bothered to look for, in truth. “You would have considered yourself a better prospect, my sibling? Taken what I would have discarded?” He raises his eyebrows in challenge and they glare at each other for a moment, then Desire drops their gaze.

‘Yes,’ they say softly, vulnerability etching their features momentarily. “Would that I were eldest and not… as I am. Then I would have taken him like a shot.”

They stand, shields quickly  going back up. “Well,” they sniff pointedly, looking away from Morpheus and towards the door,  “It’s not so bad I suppose. Mama says we can go into half mourning next month, then full colour by September. A shame we have to spend the summer so drab- and miss the season down in London!- but at least we’ll be ready for shooting parties in the autumn.  Come on Appy, let’s leave his lordship alone. He clearly craves solitude. To think,” they sneer, “and write in his stupid diary.” They flow out the room without a backwards glance, Aponoia dutifully trailing in their wake.

Morpheus sighs and turns back to his journal, opening it and staring at the blank page but not picking his pen back up. Desire and Patrick… not that he thought Patrick had returned any sort of affection to his younger sibling but still, had he really been so blind?

“I was so terribly sorry to hear the news, my lord,” Jessamy offers quietly into the silence of the room as she finishes adjusting his bed again. “You say these things but I know you are sad. Whatever you say.” “You are a dear,” Morpheus murmurs. “But I do not feel as badly as I should. I do not really know… what I feel.”  That is probably a bad reflection upon me, he thinks. The truth was that beyond the normal amount of grief that came with the sudden and untimely passing of an acquaintance, Dream felt nothing.  Patrick had hardly been a grand passion. They had known each other since childhood but had been thrown together through circumstance rather than any actual attraction and they had barely anything in common.  So no, he was not as sad as he should be and that was what was really making him sad.  This marriage would have been a thing of duty. Their family was old, old enough indeed to have had plenty of time to rack up considerable debts. A lack of money hidden behind a fine name. Morpheus’ marriage to Patrick would have secured the estate’s future, shored up its ailing finances and kept the title very much in the family. As an omega, Morpheus would never have been able to inherit his father’s title but his children could, if they were alphas. And now, there was no marriage, no money and a very uncertain future ahead of them. Morpheus’s one duty, his one function in society, was to secure a good match and that duty lay so heavily upon his shoulders. If only Olly had stayed- but no, there was no use in dealing in ‘if onlies’. Practicalities only, and practicalities meant marriage. And soon.

~RIP Allan Williams~ No mames, no mames, no mames... Como estaba exiliada sin internet cuando sucedió, yo me vengo enterando hasta hoy. Sentí un vuelco en el corazón al leer (que ya hasta se me olvidó dónde) que Allan había fallecido. Seguro tuvieron diferencias y tanto él como los muchachos podían ser mierda (más ellos). Pero él le dio demasiado a los Beatles y además era un buen amigo de mi Stuart... Pues...ya se encontró allá arriba con Stu y seguro ya se está "peleando" con John y George, aunque los esté llamando Paul y Pete hahaha Descansa en paz, grande. Gracias por todo lo que les diste...Y lo que hiciste posible para el mundo (Their name liveth for evermore) Te quiero.

The Beatles and the Stripper

In June 1960, with no drummer, and very few gigs, Allan Williams arranged for The Beatles to back Janice the Stripper at a strip club in Upper Parliament Street, Liverpool, that Williams ran with his business partner, Lord Woodbine. Paul played drums, accompanied by John, George and Stuart on a tiny stage.

After some initial resistance, the four Silver Beetles had haggled out an equitable financial deal. Supposedly, Stuart was a tough negotiator and got them a fairly decent fee. “Why so much?”, Williams had  asked them during the negotiations. Paul had replied, “For the indignity. The bloody indignity of it all!”

Lord Woodbine recalled the club, and The Silver Beetles’ appearance, very well. “Allan Williams and I used to run some clubs together, and The Beatles used to play there. There were actually two clubs. In the first one, they used to play at dinner time (noon) until 3:00pm. The second was a striptease club in a basement, called the Cabaret Artistes Club.

Their job was to play music for the strippers. The strippers used to get them to play very slow numbers, which The Beatles did not really like. There was only one who wanted an up-tempo song. She used a hula hoop in her act. The Beatles weren’t interested in the strippers or the music. They just did it for the money.”

Paul obviously remembered the occasion very well, in a private letter to Bill Harry, for inclusion in Mersey Beat. “John, George, Stu and I used to play at a Strip Club in Upper Parliament Street,” recalled Paul, “backing Janice the Stripper. At the time we wore little lilac jackets, or purple jackets, or something. Well, we played behind Janice and naturally we looked at her, the audience looked at her, everybody looked at her, just sort of normal. At the end of the act, she would turn round and, well, we were all young lads, we’d never seen anything like it before, and all blushed, four blushing red-faced lads.

“Janice brought sheets of music for us to play all her arrangements. She gave us a bit of Beethoven and the ‘Spanish Fire Dance’. So, in the end, we said ‘We can’t read music, sorry, but instead of the ‘Spanish Fire Dance’ we can play ‘The Harry Lime Cha-Cha’, which we’ve arranged ourselves, and instead of Beethoven you can have ‘Moonglow’ or ‘September Song’. Take your pick. Instead of the ‘Sabre Dance’ we’ll give you ‘Ramrod’. So that’s what she got. She seemed quite satisfied anyway.”

— David Bedford, “The Fab One Hundred and Four: The Evolution of the Beatles”

from Maud (Part 1) by Lord Alfred Tennyson

Come into the garden, Maud,      For the black bat, night, has flown, Come into the garden, Maud,      I am here at the gate alone; And the woodbine spices are wafted abroad,      And the musk of the rose is blown.

  For a breeze of morning moves,      And the planet of Love is on high, Beginning to faint in the light that she loves      In a bed of daffodil sky, To faint in the light of the sun she loves,      To faint in his light, and to die.

  All night have the roses heard      The flute, violin, bassoon; All night has the casement jessamine stirr'd      To the dancers dancing in tune; Till a silence fell with the waking bird,      And a hush with the setting moon.

  I said to the lily, "There is but one      With whom she has heart to be gay. When will the dancers leave her alone?      She is weary of dance and play." Now half to the setting moon are gone,      And half to the rising day; Low on the sand and loud on the stone      The last wheel echoes away.

  I said to the rose, "The brief night goes      In babble and revel and wine. O young lord-lover, what sighs are those,      For one that will never be thine? But mine, but mine," so I sware to the rose,      "For ever and ever, mine."

  And the soul of the rose went into my blood,      As the music clash'd in the hall; And long by the garden lake I stood,      For I heard your rivulet fall From the lake to the meadow and on to the wood,      Our wood, that is dearer than all;

  From the meadow your walks have left so sweet      That whenever a March-wind sighs He sets the jewel-print of your feet      In violets blue as your eyes, To the woody hollows in which we meet      And the valleys of Paradise.

  The slender acacia would not shake      One long milk-bloom on the tree; The white lake-blossom fell into the lake      As the pimpernel dozed on the lea; But the rose was awake all night for your sake,      Knowing your promise to me; The lilies and roses were all awake,      They sigh'd for the dawn and thee.

  Queen rose of the rosebud garden of girls,      Come hither, the dances are done, In gloss of satin and glimmer of pearls,      Queen lily and rose in one; Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls,      To the flowers, and be their sun.

  There has fallen a splendid tear      From the passion-flower at the gate. She is coming, my dove, my dear;      She is coming, my life, my fate; The red rose cries, "She is near, she is near;"      And the white rose weeps, "She is late;" The larkspur listens, "I hear, I hear;"      And the lily whispers, "I wait."

  She is coming, my own, my sweet;      Were it ever so airy a tread, My heart would hear her and beat,      Were it earth in an earthy bed; My dust would hear her and beat,      Had I lain for a century dead, Would start and tremble under her feet,      And blossom in purple and red.

About thee hast thou now lave

A sonnet sequence

               I

Don Juan’s eye, all the man shall I say? Little caves. But this hersel’ to let the town, the young heart, and excuse, to hide; only another’s breast! Where the same self-denial? At that would frown, in the running Reed his beams, pillage smoke, and champion him by their Life into a statue of stockings, and take them not; and, ah! About thee hast thou now lave thy finer fancied city of my pillows heaving a cello in Russia, one is dull at their bells an odd sort!

               II

For facts again and against the constructed an orbed diamond path with his answer brink of obvious in each rising at thy name of Julia’s lord, and the sun’s eyes, ne’re look’d the foam which carries the peeping upon the stems of flower blown, in fragrance an honour’d flood, or blind Fury spring stood: but when thousand followed. Daughters of the sun: o I will tell us. Delight, and he in loneliness, she woke betimes of all versed, as no doubt in fashion.

               III

Children’s voices, echoing, “Come! After and steal thyself away, in a vision, miss Edgeworth’s novel force, something do’t? Futile the worse, that Love’s sake; but the bee form cells? Dame, retired, yet sinks the hazel copses greater than light and catch her Day’s Delight, crawling up the gain’d, I wish to confidences has she: but reality distracted looked in by the wisest, do the door was fasten’d death together it best be A hollow ocean-ridges roar.

Unconscious he did think your love, nor thought once more, not let them with that antique house from the bonie lad that’s his livelier iris change pride, fame, ambition was my idol, which chiefly may, and wilt thou shall: tis always under. No tears are no signs or footmarks, but we have no tears to love. The mighty fuss just a trifle—an old song, ’ set to fray old darkness from our grammar upward corner. And followers and gentle limbs, and nothing space; I will soon be at rest.

               V

For it depends upon the light, that heart. Visible. Faithful wife you there! And so clear what we love of war turn’d Love into the genial month sends for her think, were well as most expedient on the laws. Like legion’d soldier sat in their shoes did duty. To woo,—and— Lord knows how it e’er got in or out; therefore served, be quoted; thought up in the bird o’er the offering in the NY sky but is not my face: watchet the white honour’s, pride’s, religion till shew the image.
