Awesome tales, Sterling, and as at his recent White House performance, Sir Paul didn't seem to use no stinkin' Bass stand either-
IIRC he just THROWS that Hofner to his tech----

Great stories. BP you should send a Big AL to Sir Paul (only because we don't want a Bongo to take the spotlight away from him )

I watched Craig's video and tried to play along as he scanned the sheet music but I just got queasy and threw up my breakfast.

Now that would be a stylish way to introduce the Big Al Lefty model.
On topic: Thanks for the video and the stories that followed - I enjoyed both!

this hurt. i was doing a record with rusty anderson, sir pauls guitar player, a few years back, right before they launched a tour. rusty got me all access backstage passes and front row tix to the show. a week before the show, my dad called from california and shockingly said "son, im sick". that was a earth moving statement to anyone who knew my dad. so i hopped on the next flight out, and stayed bedside night and day for the end, which came a month later. i know i did the right thing, but man did my pops have poor timing!!!!

They all do. But yours was a bassist, so I don't how to explain that.
Seriously? Yeah, no question about it. Sir Paul is one of maybe two/three musical heroes of mine, but family is just different. Kudos to you, Craig.

Sux man, and there is no good timing.
I had the priviledge of caring for my Dad for his last 2 years before he checked out at 97 years...Legend has it he told Patton to *&$^$% himself; I believe it.
Miss him.
Sir Paul is still hitting it; I'm betting you'll meet & greet in your lifetime-

Well, I remember his spin on it was that since they were in combat, with a REAL good chance of getting KIA, like about 80% of his fellow troops were, what could a General possibly do? Write him up for insubordination?
Allow me to repeat something Dad told me when I asked him what it was like landing at Gold Beach, and being in combat overseas:
He told me that he saw whole cities leveled, and he said that-
"I always thought that Man's purpose here was to Create; not destroy".
Wow. Sorry for the buzz-kill; just kinda hit me since he passed last November.
RIP DAD.Miss you.
