Happy Birthday To You Paul!
He just keeps on giving and we love him for it.
He has so much going for him in life and he just
keeps on sending us his love. He has such a wonderful family and a career that just wont stop.
We hear all the good and all the bad things that happens to people. We can believe all we hear or just let them live their life in peace and they will tell us in time of they want.
John Lennon proved that to us. He lived life the way he wanted weather we liked it or not. And there were all the stories about him. Some people believed all they heard and others could care less what was said because he just made us really happy with his music. And he gave us the best music and a life time of memories. And very talented children for us to follow in life.
I say if there was a way to make Sir Paul happier he would tell us. Just like on his website. (Don't belive all that you hear from the magazines.) They are suppose to tell us the truth. But then again they are out there just to make money. And alot of them don't care who they hurt.
We tell Paul eveyday that we love him and he makes us very happy just by listening to his music. Buying his CD's And Going to his Concerts.
I have been fortunate to have seen him once when he was here. I never got that chance with John Lennon.
So I wanted to do something for him for his birthday So I made him this website.
Born in 1942 in Liverpool, McCartney was only 15 years old when he auditioned for John Lennon's skiffle band The Quarrymen at a local church
Within three years, The Quarrymen became The Beatles, and within another four years the quartet became worldwide superstars. Then like John said in the song (God)the Dream is over and they went there own ways. They have all done great even on there own.
Now we would all have loved to see them get back together or even see them play with their son's. And maybe their son's playing together. But on their own they are still the greatest and we love them all. We do miss George and John but we still have Ringo and Paul and I pray their music will live on for a long time to come.
