Hate to tell you Bill, but Paul will never read what you wrote. Good story though!
Ummm...then why are *any* of us sending birthday greetings to someone who will "never read what you wrote"?? True, it is highly doubtful that Paul would ever read these messages, but we continue to send the love, right? Happy Birthday, Sir Paul! I love you, and thanks for the music and memories
It's just an acknowledgment of his birthday. We all know (I hope) that he's not reading any of this!

Hi Nancy! It's a smaller world than you think! I could have easily met Paul by playing Apple Scruff at Sea-Saint Studios in '75. My girlfriend, surprisingly, chickened out. Then I became a news reporter and, while still n college, interviewed Michael McCartney, Paul's brother. As a pro, I had a long conversation with Ron Howard, a brief one w Clint Eastwood, "Get outta my way, Punk!" Just kidding. He told me tell everyone in my town to see his next "flick," I stood next to Michael J. Fox, drink in one hand, fox in other, as girls pounded on a glass wall at the end of a hall, threatening to break it down. Shared laughs w Red Skelton. I could go on, but the truth is I care that Paul reads my story. Not so he comes over for a drink, but for his sake. It's so coincidental, there's' almost something metaphysical about it. Actually, I have talked to Paul, as follows: Me: (loudly) She Loves You! Paul: Well, I tell you what, that's an old one, but now we're going to play a new one. Me: Besame Mucho! Finally, I hung around the French Quarter w this guitarist who wanted my guitar for about 10 years. He plays lead guitar on Bob Dylan's Oh, Mercy album. And Bob wrote about the guy, Mason, in Chronicles Vol. I. I still keep up w/him, Mason, that is. Just saw a photo of him and Jimmy Page trying out each other's guitars. I wrote what I wrote for Paul's sake, not mine. It's a very strange but true story. Oh, and guess who I met about 5 years ago? Pete Best. Great guy. And when I was in New York, guess who sat at the next table? Woody Allen. But the guy who writes about old NYC buildings has everybody beat: He and his date were eating dinner when who should the hostess sit next to them--John and Yoko. One last time on the chances of Paul reading my missive. I just read all three volumes of Mark Twain's bio. He didn't want any body to read it until 100 years after his death. I can sum them up, and I should mention I have a PhD in English to help vouch for their veracity. Vol I-Twain reads his mail. Vol II-Twain reads his mail. Vol III-Twain reads his mail. Well, Nancy, do I think you'll read all this? I hope so. But for you, not for me.
I read all this. Not quite sure I get what it all has to do with Paul. I could go on about all the famous people I've encountered over the years, like Mike Love and all the Beach Boys except Brian (he was in his recluse phase in 197 spent time with Pete Best and his brother Roag too. Met brother Rory briefly. Yes, it can be a small world, but usually you have to be proactive to meet people, and with Paul you have to either be extremely lucky, preferably youngish & cute or wealthy. I've been a fan since I first heard I Want To Hold Your Hand in December 1963 at the age of 8. I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that I will never be able to meet Paul unless I shell out mucho dinero on one of those auctions. Then again, maybe I'll get lucky and bump into him in London in August!

Greetings, it has been awhile since I have been by but wanted to sign up and come back again to wish Sir Paul a phenomenal birthday and to invite him to consider coming to see his loving fans in Tucson in the future. Happened to catch son James in May 2016 as his tour took him to town. Would be moved and honored to have Paul and family make a tour stop here. --Andrea Miller
