PAUL INITIATES CITI FIELD

I wrote last week about how much I enjoyed the George Benson concert - and I did enjoy it, really I did. But then the next day, as I was posting my videos on YouTube, I searched to see if I could find any footage from Paul's first concert at the new Citi Field in NYC. Since the Beatles were the first band to play in the old Shea Stadium (the one Citi Field replaces), and since Paul also played at the last concert in Shea (making a guest appearance with Billy Joel), it was only logical that Paul perform the first concert at Citi Field.

And as I sat watching the concert, song by song on various videos, I suddenly realized that for me, George Benson, however good, is not and will never be a substitute for Macca, and I was sad, thinking that I'd missed this historic event. If you're interested, here's Paul performing my favorite Beatles song, "Hey Jude", and a search on YouTube will yield many others....

SORRY PAUL!

It's with a heavy heart that I have to report we won't be able to attend the Paul McCartney concerts at the new Citi Field in NYC next month. When I received the email announcing early ticket sales I have to admit I was tempted. Everyone had been talking about the super bargain airfares they'd been finding, so I'll admit I did a quick search, just to see what the prices were. Of course you have to add in costs getting to the Rome airport, hotel costs for several nights in NYC, meals, and of course the cost of the tickets themselves, which seem to be a big mystery. (I later found out ticket prices ranged from $275 down to $50.) In the end I decided it was just too expensive, even for a splurge. Sometimes I hate being so practical! ...sigh... Although I've seen Paul in concert several times, I'd be there if I could......big sigh....

THE FIREMEN "SING THE CHANGES"

Great song!
