        Because YaleConnect had crashed, Yale later made waitlist tickets available on EventBrite. I was among those fortunate enough to have my waitlist ticket turn into an actual ticket to the event. For about 90 minutes Paul discussed his book The Lyrics with Paul Muldoon (co-author) and Yale professor Langdon Hammer. Paul talked about his family and their influence on him/his songwriting, his early musical influences, about writing with John and about songwriting generally. Unfortunately the moderator (Hammer) didn't successfully steer the conversation to Paul's solo songwriting, beyond Paul saying that John was so great to collaborate with that he still "checks" with him while writing songs. Paul told a few of his oft-told stories again, but I believe that most in this audience had not heard them before. Paul seemed relaxed and was given plenty of time to answer questions. I feel so fortunate to have been able to attend such a special event.

              Never even knew about it until too late - plus I live near Atlanta!

                  Yeah, wandy lives in London, so doubt it was him.

                    Yes, unbelievably lucky! It was a fluke that I heard about it ahead of time and something of a miracle that I was able to get a ticket.
