#214 That Means A Lot & #213 Tell Me What You See w/ Andre Bohren (drummer of Johnny Sketch & the Dirty Notes, classical pianist, producer)

You know how when a puppy’s paws get big, and they get real clumsy and don’t know what to do with them, and it’s super cute, but they need to grow into their paws? That’s how Jonathan sees “That Means A Lot,” a song from the “Help!” album sessions, shelved until the Anthology release in the 90s. We’re joined this week by drummer and classical pianist Andre Bohren to discuss this song, as well as “Tell Me What You See,” a song that features a lyric Andre calls “unforgivable.” GASP!

We also discuss making music during a pandemic, touring the country and soaking up all kinds of music as a child, and Andre reveals to Jonathan that apparently Sir Paul & Co. once knew about, and maybe talked about trying to make it to a John Lennon tribute show they were involved in. You can hear Jonathan’s heart rate build up.

Andre is the drummer is in New Orleans rock/funk band Johnny Sketch & the Dirty Notes. Additionally, a classically trained pianist, he’s toured and performed all over the country in both roles. Currently, you can catch him playing AMAZING daily classical livestreams on his Facebook page, facebook.com/andre.bohren.
