Sir Paul

I was a “Paul” girl, back in the day; That’s how we defined ourselves then. I knew that he’d love me if we’d only met, But that seemed more an “if” than a “when.” I never attended a concert of his – Neither solo nor Beatles nor Wings; Yet I’m sure I remember the lyrics and tunes Of the bulk of the songs that he sings. Since today is his birthday (my brother’s, as well), I reflect on a very strange fact – At a recent performance by Sir Paul himself, The arena was not fully packed. As time marches on, many young folks don’t care That the Beatles were practically gods; So McCartney now plays to a non-sold-out house – I would never have bet on those odds!

Yesterday, all those screming girls have gone away. Came back Moms because I still can play. Oh the vocals strain, what can I say. Yesterday is not today. :) I feel the need to say, his vocals are still pretty strong. He is 70 after all. :) Most of us would take his today anyday. :)

So he was in New York? yes, I would have loved to have been there seeing him. And that would be neat to go there with a fun lady like you who appreciates those oldies but goodies!
