More of Stones man myself Spencer but I'm enjoying the Beatles theme a lot, great work.

You are good at these Spencer. Lovely movement in the figures. I love Joe Cocker’s version of this song

A lot of songs back then portrayed drug taking, but you’ve portrayed the “high” with the kite, beautifully interpreted.
