FOR SAM~~~~ George Harrison's Sister Louise Adopts Martin As Her "Baby Brother" And Takes Him To Meet Paul McCartney The Flashback Weekend concerts that ran this past April 5-7th brought together a nostalgic gathering of Beatle fans with American English. Nostalgia also played a major part in the joining of another great success story in the life of American English, as a significant "Beatle" bond was made between Martin Scott and Louise Harrison. Following the performance at the Pickwick Theatre, Louise told Marty she was moved to tears by his performance, and when she heard him sing, she felt that George was with her again. Throughout the weekend, they spent hours and hours together in conversation into the wee small hours of the morning. "It was very surreal, and we got along so well, she really is the sweetest woman in the world." After the weekend ended, Marty invited Louise to stay at his home for the next four days to accommodate her, as she would be attending the Paul McCartney concert in Chicago. "It was great, we stayed up every night and talked and bonded as she reminisced about her life and childhood with George. She even shared some rare tapes of George's participation in her radio days from the sixties. We sang together, laughed a lot and really had a great time together. She definitely has one of those unique Liverpudlian sense of humors." The kinship and exchange of respect was kindled between Louise and Marty, and evolved into a dream come true as Marty was given a personal invitation by Louise to accompany her in a private meeting with Sir Paul McCartney himself! On Wednesday, prior to the concert, Marty and Louise dined privately at Rosebud in Chicago. TV stations ABC and WGN caught up with them and were amused by the pseudo kinship the two had formed. At the United Center, about an hour before the concert, Marty and Louise were escorted back stage to meet Paul. Waiting in his private dressing room, the door opened and there stood Sir Paul. "I got the very best introduction I could have ever imagined getting. Louise told Paul that I played George in American English, the very best tribute band in the world, and that we've become the dearest of friends. She even told him that she's since adopted me as her baby brother. It was a bit embarrassing actually." Paul had already been aware of the band through Sam Leach's charity re-creation of "Rockestra" at the House of Blues with former Wings members. Marty was awestruck by Louise's introduction, and was further amazed when Paul suggested they all sit down and chat. "How bizarre it all was. At first Paul and Louise were talking about the last time they both saw George the week that he passed. It was very sad. Then, the conversation just opened up to everything. We talked a bit about The Beatles, Paul's tour, American English, children, his latest projects and all kinds of stuff. It was amazing how real and down to earth Paul was. At one point, Paul got on the subject of kids and how the Beatles One CD has created a whole new generation of Beatle fans. I told him that it has made an incredible difference at American English shows too, as far as the amount of children in the audience. Now, all the kids seem to know every detail about the Beatles. I told him a story of a recent show where I walked out in my Pepper suit, and a seven-year-old girl yelled out "Hey, where's your mustache?" Paul had a good laugh about it." "It was really great, his road manager would come in about every five minutes and tell Paul he had to wrap it up and Paul would just say it was ok and would send him away. He did this about three times and I am sure it was out of respect to Louise. Another time, Paul got on the subject of how he keeps forgetting the lyrics to his songs because he hadn't sang some of them since he recorded them so long ago. I told him that he should do what we do and just look out at the crowd and read their lips, because THEY ALL know the words! He seemed to be amused by that." When Heather entered the room, Paul made Heather guess who Louise was, and asked her who she looked like. This is exactly how Paul introduced Linda to Louise, many years ago. Only Linda had gotten it right years ago, but Heather being a bit younger, needed a little help from her fiancé. After Paul whispered in her ear, Heather said, "You must be a Harrison." After photos were taken, Marty humbly asked for an autograph, and as Paul was signing he said, "Marty with a Y, right, like Marty Robbins?" and proceeded to sing the Marty Robbins hit "El Paso." "I know that song so well because it's my dad's favorite song, so I joined in with him and sang harmony in the chorus. I didn't realize how cool that was until I was walking out because I had to be held up by Louise, realizing that I just sang with Paul McCartney! About a week has gone by now and I'm still walking on "Cloud Nine

Hi Paulfan Am back had a crazy period at work -- how's it going? Cheers! Mike
-
ITs going fien Mike. I was wondering if you like LEt'Em In and Silly Love Songs? You never gave your opinion on those. My brother bought me two beatles dvds and it had clips from their Washington performance,the Hollywood Bowl,and a skit by them in one. I forgot to ask you when you became a fan of Macca's? Mine started when Say Say Say was relased and I was 12 years old. How about you?
-
Hi Paulfan I like Let em In a Lot, Silly Love Songs is OK. I got into Macca's music via his album Press to Play at the time I really liked the album but the kicker for me was seeing him play live in New Yok in 1989 -- it was a great show -- within a year I had every Wings album and soon after all the Beatles stuff. Previously I just owned Pipes of Peace, Press to Play and Flowers in the Dirt. Mike
-
Paulfan I always listened to music even during early childhood -- so in the 70s I heard a lot of Wings' stuff and liked it. I would say I really became a fan in 83 when Pipes of Peace came out. But, became a megfan in 1989. Cheers! Mike
-
oops forgot to say in 1983 I was 14 years old.
-
Mike I see you are tow years older than me. I guess you and I became a fan from the same album. I'm glad you liek Let'Em In,I wish I could have seen him perform that in the Back In The US tour. He didn't sing it at the show I was at last year. I also listened to msuic as a child in the 70s and heard Silly Love Osngs because my parents ahd the 45. I thought a girl sang that song and my cousing said you think paul Mccartney is a girl? That si the first time I ehard his name back in 1980. I think I remember hearing Let'Em In when it first came out when I was 5 because my brother was born that year and it came out around the same time. When I first became a fan of Paul's I thought he sang every song and would only buy Let'Em In if he sang it. When I found out he did I got the Wings At The Speed Of Soudn album for my 14th birthday. Now I buy music even if Paul doesn't sing it and I like it. I even used to imagine I was Paul and would write Gir and The WIngs to friends when I would write them letters. I bought every singel solo album since Pipes Of PEace and saw him live in 93 in Columbia for the first tiem and enjooyed it. I loved last years show in Atlanta too. I hope when Paul tours next he will be at a show where both you and I are so we can both meet.
-
OK, sounds good Paulfan hopefully he does a When I am 64 tour. If I had to take a stab at my favorite of his solo songs these are among them Every Night Junk Maybe I am Amazed Admiral Halsey/Uncle Albert Monkberry Moon Delight 1985 Mrs. Vanderbilt Helen Wheels Jet Love In Song Let Em In With A Little Luck No More Lonley Nights Moorse Moose Getting Closer Waterfalls Take It Away Footprints My Brave Face This One Lovers That Never Where Rinse The Raindrops
-
Mike I also hope he does a When I'm 64 tour. That is still three years away. You have some good choices listed as your favorite songs of solo Macca.
-
Hey Mike & Giri What about `Wanderlust' ?? and `Tug of War'. Gone again. Sam.
-
I think that Paul McCartney just won't be able to resist recording a version of When I'm 64. He wrote it when he was 15... Now will be Now I'm 64. In Spain we have Serrat, our greatest songwriter. One of his first songs was "Now that I'm 20"(Ara que tinc vint anys). And when he was 40 he did a cover changing the lyrics called "I'm 20 since 20 years ago"(Fa vint anys que tinc vint anys). Great masterpiece. One of the finest records in Spain ever. BTW Harley, nice story.
