A gift to Lennon fans everywhere

I thought I knew pretty much everything there was to know about John Lennon and his music. Apparently not! Along comes this new app which chronicles a stormy journey he undertook by boat to Bermuda a few months before he was murdered. The trip was significant in that it reignited his interest in music after years of dormancy. (The music that came out of that harrowing trip led to the album Double Fantasy.) I had no idea about this very significant episode in Johns life, and what a delight to learn about it in a totally immersive and engaging way. The app takes you along with John and his crew as they battle the seas and ultimately land in Bermuda. All along the way, you are guided by John himself, and to hear his voice as he narrates the tale sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes. And we are treated to the raw demos he made during this time which went on to become the iconic tunes from his last album. At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, this really does bring the great John Lennon and his music back to life. A precious gift to Lennon fans with the proceeds going to a great cause.
