Dave Bryce Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Okay - get this... I live next door to a young lady named [url=http://www.lindsaypagano.com]Lindsay Pagano[/url] . Lindsay is 15 years old, and is signed to Warner Brothers. You may have actually seen her on TV - she was the focus of an AOL commercial a few months back. She is actually an [i]amazing[/i] singer. She especially likes old R&B tunes - you should hear her sing the old Etta James tune "At Last"...or anything by Aretha - she kills 'em. Jude Cole produced her record, which is due out this month. She recorded her album at A&M studios in Hollywood. She was in Studio C. It turns out that Paul McCartney was recording right across the hall in Studio A at the same time. So, one day she runs into Paul in the hallway and makes friends with him (!). They develop a nice little relationship - she pokes her head into Studio A in the mornings to say hi to him...he sits in on a few of her sessions and listens to what she's doing...offers some comments... Are you dying yet? Wait - it gets better... Anyway, she ends up needing one more tune for her album. So, she asks her new buddy Paul if he has any songs that she can use. He agrees to let her record a song called "So Bad" that he had recorded for Linda in the early 80's - I think it's on "Pipes of Peace"... So, Lindsay cuts the tune. It comes out great. She goes away on vacation, thinking the tune is done...she's wrong. When she comes back, she's called down to the studio, where they play her the track - which now has a duet part/backing vocals laid down by Paul himself as a little gift to Lindsay. :eek: :D :cool: How cool is that???? I thought that you guys might enjoy hearing that little story. Sometimes, fairy tales do come true... dB [ 12-17-2001: Message edited by: Dave Bryce ] ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedster Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Probably cooler for us to hear about than her...in a way. Lindsay: "So, Grandpa, why are you so impressed...who is this Paul guy anyway? I mean, he's just some guy at the studio, isn't he?" Lindsay's Grandpa: "Well, he used to be in The Beatles, the biggest band of all time". Lindsay: "Bigger than N'Sync?" Gramps: "Definitely". Lindsay: "Kinda like that Sinatra guy you used to talk about? I mean, I still think it would be better if it was Justin Timberlake..." :D :D WAY Cool story though! (Homer voice) HEYYY...it dawns on me..."Driving Rain" hasn't been doing well in the charts...perhaps Sir Macca will pull a Carlos Santana coup!!!

Philip OKeefe Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Yup, also dying here too! This confirms what I've suspected for a long time - Mr McCartney is a nice guy. Great story Dave!

Charlie-brm Posted December 17, 2001 Share Posted December 17, 2001 Feel good story of the year. I laughed, I cried, I saved 5 bucks. Seriously, nice to have a happy ending to the year, thanks. McCartney was on Howard Stern in the fall and Stern just could not get McCartney to say one word out of place about anyone else. I think it frustrated him no end to have a guest who was a true Gentleman. It's OK to tempt fate. Just don't drop your drawers and moon her.

Where do we buy the CD's of these amazing bands that you so perfectly record and mix ? It might help some of us gather some perspective on your posts rather than thinking you're just some jaded/ignorant college prick who doesn't have to pay his own rent yet ?

DougP Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 That's pretty cool ... but it would have been a lot cooler if it was one of Paul's GOOD songs (I put "So Bad" in the same self-referential category as "Silly Love Songs" - each title accurately describes the content & quality of the song). Come to think of it, he's always been good at giving away his not-so-great songs ... "I Wanna Be Your Man", the song that the Beatles gave the Rolling Stones, is probably the most lightweight/half-baked/unmemorable/under-realized Lennon/McCartney number that the Beatles released during their career (unless "You Know My Name, Look Up The Number" was Lennon/McCartney, but I'm pretty sure that one was credited to all four, like "Dig It"), and there aren't very many Beatles' songs you can call "unmemorable"!

[/b][/quote] A dork that was a member of the most influential rock band in history, who at one time had girls fainting in front of him, who happens to be a melodic genius, donates a ton of money to charity regularly, wrote a lot of totally brilliant songs, is probably the wealthiest man in England... and is a pretty cool bass player as well. I'm a dork, but I aspire to that level of dorkiness.
