Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
This 1965 Beatles classic seems appropriate for today's Newsletter.
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWP6Qki8mWc - Help! - The Beatles, August 1965
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help!_%28song%29:
"Help!" is a song by The Beatles that served as the title song for both the 1965 film and its soundtrack album. It was also released as a single, and was number one for three weeks in both the United States and the United Kingdom. "Help!" was written primarily by John Lennon, but credited (as were all Beatles songs written by either person) to Lennon/McCartney. Paul McCartney reports that he had a hand in writing the song as well, being called in "to complete it" in a two-hour joint writing session on 4 April 1965 at Lennon's house in Weybridge.[4] He later said that the title was "out of desperation".[5] In 2004, "Help!" was ranked number 29 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest songs of all time.
The documentary series The Beatles Anthology revealed that Lennon wrote the lyrics of the song to express his stress after the Beatles' quick rise to success. "I was fat and depressed and I was crying out for 'Help'," Lennon told Playboy.[6] Writer Ian MacDonald describes the song as the "first crack in the protective shell" Lennon had built around his fragile emotions during the Beatles' rise to fame, and an important milestone in his songwriting style.

Prince Protea Square - Help Me Make an Intricate, Collaborative Square - " Block 37 of the Block a Week CAL (hosted by Kimberly Slifer) is very special. This square is a collaboration between one of our CAL participants, Virginia Burrow, and my little old self (Dedri). Based on my King Protea Mandala, this square is striking and surprisingly easy (once you get past the front post trebles). When apportioning credit, I feel it necessary to tell you that Virginia did the designing and I did the grunt-work. Why am I telling you that? Because I LOVE this square and when you are making it, I want you to remember that it was born in Virginia’s pretty head. I hope you really enjoy this week’s square!"BONUS HELP! RECIPES:
