| Catie, Carly and I on top floor of parking garage going to see Paul McCartney |
You may remember on Mother's Day Carly, John and Catie gave me a fabulous gift; tickets to see Paul McCartney. I was so thrilled!
It has taken me 51 years to see a member of my favorite all time musical group. I am so thankful to the children for such a nice gift and I get to enjoy it with the girls!
Come on inside to see our fabulous trip....

Let's step back in time to 1964.
How many of you are old enough to remember seeing the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show? I am and will never forget it. You can read a little about it if you hit the credit link below the next picture. You can also see in in the video below The Beatles 1964 Ed Sullivan 3 Shows!

| The Beatles February 9, 1964 credit |
I was 10 years old and fell immediately in love! My daddy agreed to let me watch "these punks with long hair" as he called them! Just look at this LONG HAIR! Can you imagine this was extremely long for a guy's hair? Guess daddy was ahead of his time because he used the word punk before Punk Rock ever came into being. He was simply talking about these guys with the long hair that had all the girls swooning and screaming. He said, "Why in the world are they screaming and pulling at their hair and crying?" I have to admit as crazy and excited as I was to see them I couldn't answer that one! I didn't feel the need to cry and scream...I just wanted to sing and dance!
The Beatles were all any of we young girls could talk about. Singing nonstop and of course the all important question was: "Who is your favorite Beatle?" Oh goodness the squabbles if anyone other than yourself liked your favorite. How funny now like any of us stood a chance with one of the Beatles. Thinking back my girlfriends and I were only 10 and 11 at the time. Do you want to know my favorite? Paul McCartney of course! Truthfully it was hard to pick a favorite because I loved them all and they were so cute! (Watch the video and see for yourself).

I leave you today and this was a pretty hard post to get together. It really was because there is so much that I like and want to share and not enough space to do it all! I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise of anyone going to one of his concerts and let me tell you I couldn't possibly do that anyway! His show is out of this world. These videos are nothing compared to the live show. They can't convey how good the sound and show actually is! A dear friend of mine said this to me, "Dolly you are going to walk out of there saying Awesome!!!" She was so right!
If he comes to your area Do yourself a favor and Go! He and the band give it their All! Almost 4 hours of constant entertaining! I kid you not you get more than you bargain for and from one of the biggest bands, personalities ever! I truly believe he is genuinely nice! What a wonderful artist who has lived through many different phases of music and continues on. What true talent! What energy!!! Whew! I have to tell you I was a little light headed when I stood up after it was over...(laughing) How does he do it?
Thank you my children for the time of my life and I'm so glad you were able to go and see this for yourselves too. After all you've lived it, heard it your entire childhoods!
I leave you with a few more videos...can't help it I like so many and this one has Johnny Depp..(what's not to like about that?)
First off, you are just beautiful, Dolly! Truly...and your daughters are darling! I am so glad you got to see him. I would love to see him, too. He was my favorite also- I think he was more "boyish" than the others, maybe? anyway.....what a wonderful gift. Those girls got that just right! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness you are good for the soul! Thank you! We had so much fun they are beautiful and so precious to me. I kinda figured Paul would be your favorite too! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday too sweet Diana!!! Love you.
