@fan4-45years Thank you for remembering!
I'm watching Wings over the world documentary complete edition and they just wished Paul a happy birthday when I saw your post. I hope it was love, light and all that you wished for.
Happy New Year!

@oobu24 I really like this sweatshirt, oobu, and it's pretty safe to say I'll never buy one. C'est la vie!

Fan4-45 years, this is the thread!
I was actually here first and posted a longer bit about House of the Dragon and then it just disappeared when I tried to post. Oh well. Maybe the mods will move it if they want to.

*raises hand* Me! Saw 1st episode before we left for ManchesterLiverpool! Love it! No time now to look for the TV thread!
Good on you for being over there! Hope you meet lots of famous/nice people and enjoy the music. E2 was pretty good and leading up to further plot lines. I haven't read the books and am happy to be surprised with each episode. It seems, though, that it's leading up to civil war. Maybe that's a given.

RE: Shows to binge
I searched for movies and couldn't find a thread, so this may get moved. I've really enjoyed the first two episodes of House of the Dragon. Is anyone else watching it?

While Paul is releasing the "McCartney Trilogy" in August 2022, I don't consider it a "New Project". All MPL is doing is combining the original McCartney, McCartney 2 and McCartney 3 into one package. While it's a nice idea, it's hardly a "New Project".
Since the McCartney Trilogy is being released this August, I still love the idea of a "Leftovers and Rarities" project for 2023. This would be a true "New Project". I also like the idea from Bruce of keeping "Leftovers and Rarities" to "1" CD. By keeping the price of this CD to under $10.00 (starting Sale Price in the beginning) it would give a great low price for Casual Beatle/Paul fans to "try it". If successful (and I know it would be) Paul and MPL could create a future full set (probably a 2-3 CD Package) of "Leftovers and Rarities.
As far as the "meaning to the title", Leftovers and Rarities would cover Paul songs that never made it onto their respective original albums. And, of course, they would all be "Rarities",
Here is my 1 CD starter Tracklist:
Leftovers and Rarities
1. A Love for You - an early "Ram" take and later completed for the "In-Laws" Soundtrack. A great rocker!
2. The Mess - Live at the Hague 1972 version of an early Wings rocker with great guitar work by Henry McCullough.
3. Best Friend - Another early Wings rocker that this first incarnation of Wings did "live" in 1972.
4. Sally G - great B-Side to "Junior's Farm"
5. Waterspout - Unreleased song originally done during the "London Town" sessions.
6. Daytime Nightime Suffering - Another great B-Side to Paul's "Goodnight Tonight",
7. Rainclouds - Great B-Side to the huge single Ebony and Ivory. The late great Paddy Moloney from the Chieftains does the "Pipes" on the song.
8. On the Wings of a Nightingale - Paul's demo that he wrote for the Everly Brothers "comeback" album in 1984.
9. Yvonne's the One - Unreleased song from the Press to Play Sessions. Cowritten with Eric Stewart.
10. Flying to My Home - Great B-Side to the "My Brave Face" single
11. Loveliest Thing - Another great B-Side to the "Figure of 8" single
12. Love Come Tumbling Down - Great B-side to the "Beautiful Night" single
13. I Can't Imagine - Great B-Side to the "C'Mon People" single
14. Whole Life - Cowritten with Dave Stewart and released on the "One Year On"/Nelson Mandela tribute album. Best version in my opinion.
15. Home Tonight - Written during the Egypt Station Sessions but never appeared on the album
16. In a Hurry - Written during the Egypt Station Sessions but never appeared on the album.
I can't imgine this CD not being a good seller. Too many terrific songs that most casual Beatle/Paul fans don't even know.
I like your idea, the songs and keeping it to one CD. I will disagree with you that there is decent enough audience for this type of CD to make it commercially viable for MPL to do. Paul has enough trouble selling his latest CD's with them getting good critical reviews and being promoted. This type of CD is more for the people like us really into his solo career than the casual fan. This is why this project will not be done IMO or if done it would be after the re-issues have been completed.
This list reminds me once again how good Paul's B sides are and the best idea about this type of CD would be to give them their due as excellent songs . Once again, Paul amazes me with the selection of his songs when you see "In A Hurry" and "Home Tonight" did not make the original "Egypt Station" album. Both of these songs are better than "Come On To Me" and "Fuh You" but what the heck do I know -lol. Finally, I have always wished Paul would have done his own official recording of "On The Wings Of A Nightengale" and this type of project would be perfect for it.
Great points Yankeefan especially about "Home Tonight" and "In a Hurry"being better than "Fuh You" and "Come On to Me". There were a few more songs that I considered for this type of "Starter CD" for "Leftovers and Rarities".
One song I was thinking about was "Goodbye" the song that Paul wrote for Mary Hopkin. Not sure that Paul would legally be able to do it since "Goodbye" was written while Paul was still a Beatle. It was also a bonus track on the Remastered "Abbey Road"CD. I would think that maybe Yoko and Shawn would give their approval for one of Paul's Solo Cds if something like "Leftovers and Rarities" would ever come to fruition. Since "Goodbye" was a hit for Mary Hopkin and Paul was definitely the solo writer, I would love for Paul's demo version to be included on some sort of future Paul Solo album.
Another rarity song of Paul's I really like was "Back On My Feet" (B-side to Paul's "Once Upon a Long Ago"which I think was one of Paul's and Elvis Costello's first joint written songs. I like Paul's demo version the best and would defiintely fit on an album like "Leftovers and Rarities".
Finally a song that would be deserving is "Once Upon a Long Ago" which was a quasi-hit for Paul in Great Britain. Unfortunately it never was released in the USA so it is a "rarity" in many ways. If "Leftovers and Rarities" was released during the Christmas Season, "Once Upon a Long Ago" would be nice Christmas type "single" to release at the same time.
Great song choices! I think most casual Beatles fans have no idea how good Paul's solo music is and would be blown away if they gave it a chance. The issue would be getting enough people to give it a chance so keeping it to one CD is probably the best option.
I agree. Looking forward to this 2023 release.

RE: 2022 Grammy Awards

OT - I don't care how tasteless the joke may be, you don't go up and physically attack someone. A mature adult would have kept their cool and issued statement after the ceremony that the joke about his wife was not appreciated. Chris Rock was there to do what comedians do at these shows, poke fun at the celebrities attending. For those of you old enough to remember the comedian Don Rickles, Chris Rock was fairly tame with his remarks/jokes. What was amazing to me was that all these actors rushed over to Will Smith to supposedly console him and I did not see anybody ask Chris Rock if he was ok. BTW - the person who is attacked does not have to press charges for the police to go further with charges. Finally, all Will Smith did last night was tarnish his greatest achievement in his career. People will talk more about the slap then he won the award. I feel bad for the William sisters, this movie about their Father will now also be overlooked due to this incident.
I agree.

I saw the first part of the trilogy, Wolf Hall, but not the 2nd part (Bring Up The Bodies) Looking forward to 3rd part (The Mirror And The Light)
I think Wolf Hall, the movie, included part of (or all of) Bring Up the Bodies. It's been a while since I read the first two books. I don't plan to read the third book.

Our first time having two dogs. Backstory: When we picked up Cupcake from the breeder, there was one of her adult dogs that ran beside the fence all the way to the main road when we drove away. It was a pretty long driveway. It looked like she was in distress over our taking her friend. So, we decided to go back and get her.
Awww how sweet!
Thanks! We have never regretted it. She's such a blessing.

My Photo Bucket account got hacked years ago, so I can't post photos of them.
I remember your 2 little ones. I've never had 2 dogs at the same time.
