Written in Feb 1963 just after their marathon recording session for the Please Please Me album, "Thank You Girl" started it’s life as the Beatles’ attempt at their next single, another early example of tunes John and Paul wrote together sitting eye-to-eye. By the time they hit studio to record it, it'd become the b-side of "From Me To You," but it found a home in their live set for a little while and on some BBC sessions. It's a track that finds the band continuing to learn who they are and what they can do, finding that "Beatles sound" but still giving nods to their heroes like Buddy Holly. 
This week, we're joined by the world's youngest Beatles tribute band, The Sunset Four. Hailing from Miami Beach, this foursome has been wowing Miami crowds of all ages for 3 years now, which is wild considering they started when they 9. As a lifelong musician, it's really interesting to hear what young up-and-coming musicians think about Beatles music in 2021....on one hand, it seems a million miles away from my time...and other the other it's maybe not that different. You can follow them on Instagram @thesunsetfour and on Facebook as well.
