My dad has a friend who met Macca around 96-97.
Apparently he gave him a guided tour around his town studio in sussex (?) ,
the one with his elvis double bass in!
He was in a group at the time & Macca ask them to play at a christmas party & he got
friendly with the guys. He said that Macca was an amazing lovely warm-hearted guy & he dosen't
believe any of these horrible accusations made by the press or heather mills about him
being violent. Of course, i'm very jealous that it was him & not me!
I tend to tell people & they say, 'yeah right, whatever'. Yes, they don't believe me.

My dad met Paul in the '70s. He (my dad- not Paul!) was hitchhiking in Scotland, near Paul's farm and Paul gave him a lift. I asked dad what they talked about and he said the weather. Pfff! I can't believe it. Meeting Paul McCartney and talking about the weather.  


You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you.

LOL! Mairi, your story reminds me of my brother-in-law, who met Elijah Wood (Frodo)'s cousin while golfing. This was before the third movie came out. I was staying at my sister's place in Iowa, and her hubby comes home all pleased with himself. "I was just golfing with Elijah Wood's cousin!"
So we got all excited and said, "What about the third movie? What's going on in New Zealand?" yadda yadda. He said he didn't talk about any of that.
"Well, what did you talk about?" we asked.
"Golf!"



All you've got to do is choose love.  That's how I live it now.  I learned a long time ago, I can feed the birds in my garden.  I can't feed them all. -- Ringo Starr, Rolling Stone magazine, May 2007

No first hand replies yet ... but I want to hear about Al at the Book signing!  (Paul has a book?)

My closest brush with a Beatle was drinking a beer with some dude who said he hung out with John Lennon at Liverpool Art College in the 50s. It was at Ye Cracke, the pub across the street. He looked about the right age, and I was very happy to buy him a beer ... he might have been actually telling the truth!

I used wander the streets of Greenwich Village in the 70's, always with an eye out for John ... little knowing all I had to do was go to the Upper West Side. Part of the pain for me of December 8, 1980 was knowing that there wasn't ever going to be a chance to run into him ...


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!

Ahhh, your right. I had a brain fart. It was a DVD signing and not a book. Anyways, it took me awhile, but heres the link to the story.

No problem.

Ringo Starr wore my hat at a concert once. Thats the closest i've ever come to meeting a Beatle.
