Paul strolling across Abbey Road . . .

[elocs]

25. I was 11 in January of 1964 when I dragged my friend across town to buy the single of

"I Wanna Hold Your Hand" with the photo of The Beatles on the front. For whatever reason I picked out Paul as my favorite and it was a good choice. I am 10 years younger than Paul and I rue the day when he dies if I'm still living because for me that will be the day the music died although there will be much of his music remaining to enjoy. But what a sad day that will be for many of us.

I never got to see The Beatles in concert, but I did get to see the Wings Over America tour in 1976. What a great show that was for $9 general admission tickets even though I was in the nosebleed section. I was in the same building as Paul McCartney.
