Denny Laine's wife Elizabeth has posted a GoFundMe to raise money to cover his medical expenses. She writes that lung issues that arose after he had COVID-19 "recently turned critical," and that he has no health insurance. Yikes.
Let me add a small commercial message, as someone who suffered permanent nerve damage from my own bout with COVID: Wear a freakin' mask. It's still out there, and it can really mess with your life.
@njr So he was what, 15? Not bad, I'd say (speaking as one who can't draw to save my life).
And here's the late Jimmy Buffett's "My Gummy Just Kicked In," inspired by Nancy's remark and featuring Paul on bass.

Paul McCartney and Jimmy Buffett collaborate on new song
Apparently the name came from Nancy.
And the article above references that Paul was "working on a new album" at the time he played on Jimmy's record. Somewhere else (I can't find it now, of course) I saw something saying that "My Gummy Just Kicked In" will be released Sept. 8.
I'm looking forward to hearing the new song by Paul on Ringo's EP. I hope it's better then "Private Property."
Oh, I belatedly found it in another section. Moderators, please combine as appropriate -- but since Paul plays and sings on the record, it seems odd that the other thread is in the "Band on the Run" section.
Can it be that no one on this board has mentioned this? I can't find anything. I rather like it.

@bruce-m That fire is just relentless. The death total is 55 this morning.
As of tonight it's in the mid-60s and likely to climb higher, and economically far and away the worst disaster to ever hit Hawaii (tsunamis in 1946 and 1960 killed more). And a lovely, historic town basically wiped off the map. I visited there a few years ago and can barely stand to read the news stories.
This week 53 non-celebrities died in wildfires that swept through parts of the Hawaiian island of Maui, virtually wiping out the beautiful, historic town of Lahaina.

I saw that Bridge School show, which was incredible. Tony Bennett's set stuck in my mind so much that when it was announced that he had Alzheimer's disease, I wrote a few words about it. RIP, Tony, who by all accounts was a genuinely good and kind person.
