DaveH Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 No, that is it. Search on Mystery of Grocers or Mistery of Grocers ... Looks like someone can't spell MYSTERY Write it out correctly 100 times and have it on my desk before the bell goes for hometime, 3 strokes of the cane if it is not done and 1 minutes detention for every incorrect spelling of the word.

DaveH Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Very good Dave - special work or is that the way God planned it, in Preston ? "That's the way God planned" by Billy Preston. Billy played with The Beatles on their later works but they never recorded this song as The Beatles. However, there is a good live version of it on George Harrison's "Concert for Bangladesh" charity album (1971) by Billy. Of the Beatles only George Harrison and Ringo Starr took part in this concert.
