It took me 52 years, but I can now say I’ve been in the presence of a Beatle, though it was a football field away at Sprint Center, Saturday night, July 24th! My wife, Kelly managed to snap a few photos off the Vision-trons on both sides of the stage, as priceless archive photos of early Beatles in Liverpool scrolled before the show.  Arguably, Paul McCartney is the most influential ROCK GOD on the planet….and he lived up to his billing on this “Up And Coming Tour”. He opened with “Venus And Mars”, then slammed into “Jet” which was sonically amazing, power and precision!
Paul proceeded in taking us on his musical journey from the Cavern in Liverpool, through hand selected Beatles classics, his Wings material and his current solo stuff (not necessarily in that order)  He stopped off to dedicate “My Love” to his late wife, Linda which was very emotional, he sang his tribute song to his writing partner, John Lennon and shared a picture gallery of George Harrison, topped off with Paul singing George’s song, “Something”.  The pyrotechnics of “Live And Let Die” rivaled any Kiss concert, and then he “Please Pleased” the Paul-fanatics with his signature compositions, “Yesterday” “Hey Jude” “Let It Be” and “Blackbird”. Words can hardly express what an honor it was to have Sir Paul McCartney in Kansas City, sharing his material that has influenced three generations, and has inspired a thousand bands!!

Over the July 4th weekend, I had a great outdoor adventure kayaking with Mr. Mike Sheehy from Washington D.C. We discovered the elusive Middle Creek River that feeds the Lake of the same name in Miami County, Kansas. We paddled more than a mile and a half to find it…in the rain!! Worth every minute and can’t wait to return, I’m sure a big lunker black bass is waiting for me and myHula-Popper!!
About Mike, he’s the former top advisor to the U.S. Speaker Of The House, and is listed as a “Top 25 Persons To Know” in the Beltway. Mike is also family, since he’s my sister Sharon’s significant other for a number of years. You may have heard Sharon right here on the Midday Show providing insight regarding the 9-11 attack on America. Sharon works at the Pentagon for our Sec. Of Defense. They love to travel the world, so it was nice to have them spending time in Stilwell, Kansas!!
