Hello Beatles Peoples, been awhile since I've posted here.
Just an observation about the 1969 Beatles Christmas Message, especially the bits with John and Yoko. Have you noticed in their segment of the record when John asks Yoko about her thoughts about the coming 1970's and Yoko starts to pontificate about her wishes for a peaceful 70's that John appears to be in a very playfuul mood and lightly makes fun of her opinion. When she starts talking about the winter air being so crisp and clear then John then starts to sing the verses of a Good King Wenceslas, which harkens back to the Beatles parody of the song in the first 1963 Christmas record. Yoko keeps trying to get a word in as John just keeps on singing till you can audibly hear Yoko give an exasperated sigh and just gives up.
Just curious on what your thoughts are about this little segment.

Yes, and Yoko seems almost afraid and timid at times! (To my ears at least....)
