Off the top of my head, Paul plays prominent celeste parts on "Alligator" and "Road", Linda or Paul plays one on "Figure Of Eight" and some other Flowers/Off the Ground songs, George Martin has a solo on "Baby It's You" and plays it in the background on "Good Night". I'm sure there are other examples.
Thanks, I'll go have a listen.

Just threw away money for my Elton John ticket for Vegas this month. Really was looking forward to it and couldn't book flight and room in advance due to the reasons I already mentioned so I cannot go. Eltonjohn.com won't let me resell ticket or transfer it so it is useless. I bought it back in April.

Yep...heard that this morning. (CNN)The 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature has been awarded to American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, for "having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition." The Swedish Academy's permanent secretary, Sara Danius, said Dylan, 75, "is a great poet in the English-speaking tradition." She drew parallels between his work and that of ancient Greek poets. http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/13/world/nobel-prize-literature/index.html

For years, we've been saving pennies in a 5 gal. water jug. Since my DH officially retired on the 15th, I'll be taking some of them to the bank every day this week & turning them in for paper money. It'll be interesting to see how much has accumulated - the jug is full.

In Vegas I get the RT News Channel. It is really eye opening! There are war crimes going on all over the world!

I am not at all amused at discovering that because our youngest daughter plans to go shopping Thanksgiving Eve AND Black Friday, with her sister & "THE HAG", we were informed that we are not only keeping our twin granddaughters over nite but she also demands that our Thanksgiving dinner is to be served at 4 p.m. for her convenience!

Live outside the country for a while. It's amazing how much of the world is ignored by American corporate media.

Although I have been out West before, this visit I realize I cannot live in the South anymore. My very being does not vibrate in Harmony in the South. The West is the best. Or somewhere else. I just want to go back to pack to move!

I have another migraine. Just had one Monday. Not enjoying it.
-
I didn't learn this today but a few months ago: Don't say "f--k" while Sir Paul McCartney is in sight! Same goes with me. Don't say impolite words while I'm inside an Internet cafe, you dirty b--tards!

Just learned about the Green Book today. It was a guide for blacks during segregation. It was used when traveling, to find things like hotels, gas stations and toilets.

When people talk about the good old days, this is the time they want to go back to.

Sadly so, a number of Trump supporters, especially.

^^ that is terrible. A book like that and living like that. Inhumane I learned I need therapy about anxiety, anger and grief of loss of children. But I cannot afford it. My pathetic insurnace doesn't cover it.

Kittay perhaps the town where you live, has very nominally priced therapy. I just found out that the township where I live, has a therapy center where you can go, for a nominal fee.

^^ thank you. Unfortunately they are not qualified to deal with me. I end up counseling them. Really. I will keep a journal instead maybe that will help. The only person that could handle me would be some military / civilian therapist since I was programmed by a military person long ago. I'll be fine.

Biofeedback, Floating or even a program like Landmark. I talked with a Military General who had gone to Landmark, and he was so turned around, it was astounding to see. From war to love...his daughter made him go! He was do appreciative
