Happy Birthday Sir Paul ? ??

Paul and the other lads music brought so much enjoyment and happiness still does to me and my DH.
Happy Birthday Paul, just can’t believe he’s 80.

Here he is

There's been a good programme about Paul on BBC2 this evening which has just finished.

My favourite was George but DH and I love their music, the CD of all their number ones is a favourite of ours. A highlight for us was seeing the Cirque Du Soleil show set to Beatles music in Las Vegas, we have the CD to remind us.

My daughter played a Beatles medley in their school band back in the 1990s and I loved it! The band was very good, played at the Royal Albert Hall and won every school band competition they entered.

All these wonderful memories. My childhood was horrendous. The Beatles came along and I 'had something,'. I always say they saved me.

Oh Kate that is so sad and I am really glad that the Beatles 'saved you' ....

Thank you Danni. A bit dramatic but that's how it feels.

Chestnut that Sunday night is etched in my mind.Our dog had followed us to church at 9am and hadn't been seen the rest of the day.We had searched for her with no luck.My mother thought staying up to see the Beatles would cheer us up.
We never saw them,the dog appeared at the back door just as they came on stage and they were forgotten in our excitement that we had our wee dog back .

I cant remember when we did see them but at least I now know the date that we didn't ,I was 9 and a half .

I just discovered the Beatles played at the London Palladium again on Sunday 12th Jan 1964 and this was also televised. Their public profile was huge by then.

The Beatles and all the other groups that followed certainly lightened up my life too. I was very unhappy at home and at school and on my own with it all.

So the excitement was welcome and made life wonderful, something of my own. Happy Birthday to Paul, the Beatles made many people happy.

Initially I liked Ringo, then George, then Paul. Never took to John. I had their autographs from when they were in Bristol. I saw them but couldn't hear them because of the screaming.

When they split up I was all for George, still love him now. I went on to follow the Merseybeats [Tony Crane] and they got to recognise us from the venues we went to. Met them a few times. The 60's were great.

I watched something on bbc2 last night and I found it quite touching how much he was in love with Linda

Sad that Linda died so young and of the same disease that killed his mum.
All the money in the world doesn't help when illness strikes.

Sad that John died so young too. You never know, they might have played together again. Paul, George and Ringo got together, talked about the old days and played some music (in the 1990s I think). Then Paul and Ringo both played together at George's memorial concert which was on Sky Arts (and I have it on DVD). What a great concert that was. George's son Dani played too and because he looks so much like George it was almost like having three Beatles on the stage at the same time!

He was still vulnerable and grieving when he met that scheming Heather Mills (don't get me started).
