@oobu24 I’m sorry, but I have to say that the last photo you posted, he looks horrible! We all have our bad days, but why would he allow this photo to get out there on the internet?!

@oobu24
Where did you find these? Is he testing his sad eyes? Or is he just trying to figure out how the new maccaboard works?

There was an old picture of Paul that I can't find again. I don't know where I saw it, it might have been on the internet, but I have a vague memory that I was browsing through a large book filled with photographs of Paul and Linda etc. It was a soft cover book but it was large-sized like the kinds of books that have music scores, and fairly thick as well. And I think this must have been about over 20 years ago maybe even in the late 90s. The photo itself may have been from the 70s or 80s, since he looked about that young (if my murky memory is any reliable guide). And I think I was standing in a music store where I had seen it, just standing there browsing through it. I should have purchased it, but I didn't, or at least take a note of its title.

No doubt there were many interesting pictures in that book, but one I'd like to see again, and I wonder if any of you might know where it is. It's likely that any given picture in that particular book could be replicated in other places. Anyway after all that description let me describe the actual photo. It was just Paul and he's sitting there, it seems he's sitting outside, and he's looking at the camera. I think it might have been black and white, though I'm not sure. What's out of the ordinary are a couple of details: he's wearing some kind of a cowboy outfit, that has cowboy frills all up and down the sleeves with the jacket and I think down the leggings of the pants, and it's probably made of suede not leather. Another interesting detail is that he's looking at the camera with a kind of annoyed look and his eyes almost look like they're tearing up, and he almost looks like a little boy who is petulantly peevish because he has to sit for a portrait in his Sunday best. It's like Linda caught him at an unguarded moment.

That's the best way I can describe his look at the camera. I also dimly recall that, even though he had a full cowboy getup on, he was barefoot and one leg was crossed over the other -- not jackknifed as we say in America but with the ankle bone of one leg atop the knee of the other producing the leg at right angles.

Does that ring a bell with anyone here?

@njr They are screen shots someone took from the video Paul posted on his FB, Twitter, etc when Charlie Watts passed. He was obviously upset/sad about his passing.

Sorry that’s as a pirate, not a cowboy! Back to my research!

Your description doesn’t ring any big bells. The only cowboy shirt was the famous one he, John & George first wore in 1958 and Paul was still wearing his in 1969!

Same shirt, probably fall of 1968, taken by Linda with neighbor photobombing!
