The other day while at the store I heard a song playing that sounded very much like a Paul McCartney / Wings style song (both in the vocals and overall sound). I used Shazam on my iPhone to identify it as "Times of Your Life" by Paul Anka. So I was wondering if the two Paul's had ever meet.
I don't think he looks out of place at all. He is a realist where his career is concerned and welcomed change, even though his career was in a downturn at the time when it came to hit records. He has survived remarkably well and is one of the very few from his generation that is still touring and recording.
This blog is to highlight photos and stories of people who have met the Beatles in person. And while fan taken photos are my favorite, I also like to include vintage fan photos and other photos that show the Beatles meeting fans.
The idea behind this blog is to follow in the footsteps of the great Beatle fanzines of the 1970's & 1980's such as The Write Thing, The Harrison Alliance, With a Little Help from my Friends, Paperback Writer, etc etc. Photos and article from those publications and others are reproduced here to preserve the history of the fans who met one or more Beatle in person.
If you have ever met one of the Beatles and have a story or pictures to share, please contact me, Sara, at Starshyne9@yahoo.com.
I have never met the Beatles (besides in my dreams) but love fan photos. These photos are from my collection, which spans 17 years of online photo collecting and scanning books. I do not claim any copyright of these photos or stories. Some of them are sent to me and published with permission. Others are scanned from magazines, books and found in various places online. I do not watermark photos that I place on this blog because I do not own any of the photos. These photos are on this blog in an attempt to preserve the history of the Beatles. If you own the rights to a photo and wish to have it removed from this blog, please contact me.

ReplyDeleteNow I know why Paul Anka disqualified himself when Brian Epstein appeared on "What's My Line"!
