Paul's influence on bassists has been so widespread
over numerous generations that there's no denying he's in everybody's
playing at this point.--Will Lee This
article looks at how Paul McCartney brought the role of the bass guitar
from the depths of the briny oceans out into the sunlight.
I've tried to point out what he does with many of the Beatle songs (as
well as his solo stuff) to make them vibrant. as quoted in the book "The Beatles as
Musicians"

Ahhh, for the love of Warmheart and his tales. Go here to read tales of warmth, debauchery...oops, I mean tenderness and backhanded love.
One of my latest passions is to find old photographs of a town, and go re-create them. Down near the south part of the San Francisco bay is a sleepy little town called Alviso. Here are some Then and Now photos of Alviso, California. And here are some Then and Now photos of my hometown, Newark, Cal.
In 1973, Louie Cortez and Lance Morrison put a horn band
together designed to change the world. It was my first band
and, probably for that reason, my favorite one. Five of the six
members of Halla Nass talk about the birth and (flaming) death of the
band that could have gone somewhere if only.....if only.....we had
better singers. If you've ever pondered what it's like being in a
band....

Here's an old photo of me - known then as Commando Cody - with a female admirer while trying to save the earth from invaders from the planet moon.
Unfortunately, the "admirer" was busy yapping at me about who to shoot at and who I had missed and as you can see in the photo, I was in a state of complete distraction. Even the cake-hole of my helmet had opened into a gawking position. The result is history known to all. Retik and his Radar Men from the Moon successfully defeated Earth's defenses that day. What? You never heard about this?
