In early 2006, sometime around March, a group of young and curious amateur musicians who had never met decided to work together to produce an album of music. Coming from different upbringings, musical backgrounds, age groups, and even continents they knew they couldn’t limit themselves to a genre. Instead, they chose The Beatles as their inspiration. They each hand-picked a favorite tune (or two) from the band’s massive collection and set off to recreate it as they saw fit.
Advised and organized by a man named Steel, on the 3rd of May, 2006, their honest renditions of The Beatles were released on streaming live internet radio to a small audience. The GW Troubadours were born. Partially lost in time due to dead links and forum reorganizations, this album is available here for your reminiscence and/or enjoyment:
