Fortunately, many times when I would go to see Chappy and the Parrots at Abbey Road, longtime fan and friend Junko Kambara would be there and would usually take pics or shoot video which she would later give to me as a present...thank you Junko! This is from July 30, 2004 and really captures the love and great energy that I felt with these guys. You can tell they (and the crowd) feel it too. There's just something so magical about the unifying effect that the Beatle's music has and it's a worldwide phenomenon! We could barely have a conversation in English but I could say "She Loves You" and we could sing and play together note perfect. I'm really emotional watching this as I know that I'll never see Chappy again but I'm so happy these moments of joy and respect are preserved. My profound condolences to Chappy's family, The Parrots and all his fans (so many!) that saw him at Abbey Road and around the world. RIP brother
