Song of the Day: Don't Let Me Down (1969)

Merry Belated Christmas/Whatever-you-celebrate and a Happy New Year!

I know that it's late, but I hope that everyone's holidays were absolutely wonderful! I'm sorry that I haven't posted since December 19, but this year, the holidays were busy. I probably should have posted yesterday, you know, being the first day of 2012, but I think that the second day is alright too. One of my resolutions is to really, really, try to post something everyday. So, here's to an absolutely incredible new year with the Beatles! Happy New Year!
