Today's Morning Edition music features "Any Time At All" by The Beatles. The song first appeared on the band's "A Hard Day's Night" album which was released in 1964.

Twin Cities musician Curt Almsted — better known as Curtiss A — lists "Any Time At All" as his favorite Lennon song.

Almsted returns to First Avenue in Minneapolis tonight for the 35th installment of a John Lennon tribute concert. The event started as a spontaneous reaction to news of Lennon's death.
