Today is the 40th anniversary of John Lennon’s death in New York City. While the song “Here Comes the Sun,” was written by fellow Beatle George Harrison, it will always be a song of hope for me. Here are a few versions to lift your spirits!

Sandy, thank you so much for sharing the “Here Comes the Sun” versions – especially the first one with the Beatles themselves. I am awake early this morning and it is still dark, but I am filled with hope that there will be a grand sunrise at any moment. Love, from Barbara Costigan
