Happy Birthday Paul McCartney!

Paul McCartney (or, Sir Paul, I suppose) is 76 today!


I really shouldn't have to tell anybody who Paul McCartney is, but here goes:

Paul McCartney was the bass player for a little band called the Beatles, that changed the face of music during the 1960's.  He wrote most of their songs (along with some cat named Lennon) and sang on a large percentage.  After the Beatles, he went on to a frightfully successful second career, with the band Wings and as a solo artist.  And he's done collaborations with folk like Micheal Jackson, Johnny Cash, Brian Wilson,  and more.  And he's still touring (as recently as december 2017).

There are quite a few videos out there that feature Paul's isolated bass.  Worth checking out!

 Seriously, if you don't know Macca, you don't know pop/rock music.

Personally:  I've never seen McCartney live, but he's solidly represented in my music collection.  I have over 300 songs from his Beatles, Wings and solo career.

Happy Birthday Paul McCartney!!
