So, if this guy didn't know what was going on, how on earth did he get picked?!?! Did he have a sign?
Yeah, good question. What are the criteria for choosing the "chosen ones"?

I think it has a lot to do with dedication and it's hard not to see how dedicated Harley is. She deserved being called up on stage big time!

I have no idea... many times & gigs nobody's picked- it depends on Paul.. kinda on a whim?

Yeah, that was my question!! And I'm sure there were others who would have given (almost) anything to be picked (like me in Memphis!)

In 2011 in Detroit,They picked some very deserving fans.But also at the soundcheck was a well known Detroit attorney with his kid. He spent alot of time talking to Paul's security & Zach Niles. As the chosen ones were heading toward the stage, Zach let the kid go up too. He didn't have a clue who Paul was,I thought a real fan should have gone up. ( like me !!! ) Harley, was the Russian guy with Olga? She was up there with you, she has been up on stage with Paul 3 times in the last couple years !! She's so lucky ! LOVE your story Harley !!!!

So true. At my bucket list sound check, nobody was chosen to go on stage. It was not for lack of trying or originality. It just didn't happen. Paul just rushed from song to song and we were looking at each other, knowing it wasn't going to happen.

Harley, I just LUV that you were up on stage with Paul! You really HIT one for the home team of Paul fans! I'm so enjoying reading the absolute joy in your posts because we're all there with you all the way. If it were me it would truly be like coming home and reading your experiences just shares that warmth.

wow! this rocks part 2!!!!! http://www.examiner.com/article/interview-from-new-york-to-vienna-and-dancing-with-paul-mccartney-part-2 Next stop, Verona, Italy. ?The day before gig: ran into Brian and Rusty. Then we ran into Pablo. Brian was so charming and hospitable. We talked to him and took pics with Brian and Rusty- Pablo is funny. Fast forward leaving Verona airport. While waiting to check in, who do I see coming in? Abe, Brian, Rusty and the MPL crew. I went up to Abe. OMG! 'Abe, after all these years I finally get to meet you.' 'Brian Ray, there's Harley! my nickname.' (I had met the other band members years ago). I laffed with the guys, took pics with the band. MJ (Kim, Paul's photographer) took a pic of himself with my camera, then took a pic of me and Wix. We all than ended up in the same security line. I thanked Wix. told Brian I loved them. (More about this on my own blog.) see link for more!

Yeah, that bothered me too about Fieger's kid....kid just stood there like a bump on a log....Waste of stage space!! LOL There really is no rhyme or reason on how people get picked to go onstage. Detroit is where I met Olga, she's a really nice person-we hung out together all day. I've been all over the US to see Paul and to get picked to meet him in my hometown was AWESOME!!!!
