My friend, Jon, has created one of the nicest Beatles products to come out in a very long time and I have to share it with you.
Can't wait to get my own and I know many of you will want one yourself.

"God is a concept by which we measure our pain."
~ John Lennon
When I heard Paul was bringing his Back In the US Tour to the Compaq Center in Houston, I knew I had to go. To have been there only seven rows away in front of Paul was beyond words to describe and, when I first glimpsed him coming out on the stage singing Hello Goodbye, tears filled my eyes. What can one say about such an incredibly magical experience? One great Beatles song after another from the greatest song writer in history!
I couldn't believe my eyes as Paul came out on stage and there I was, right up close and personal, for a Beatle lover's dream come true! Few moments in a person's life stand out so magnificently as the first time you see the legend, the Knight, and, of course, the Beatle that is Sir Paul McCartney.
Paul McCartney - Hello Goodbye (Back In The US Tour 2002)
"Hello Goodbye" was the Christmas single for 1967 and topped the charts in both the United States and Britain where it spent seven weeks at number one. It also appeared on the American album Magical Mystery Tour and, in fact, the song was recorded during sessions for the British double EP of the same name, though the LP is the current official version.
Though the songwriting credit is Lennon/McCartney, it was written only by Paul McCartney.
I was totally mesmerized when Paul first walked out on stage and launched the show with this great song!
My interests include Beatles & rock memorabilia, all their wonderful music, my beautiful Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar, my awesome iMac, and traveling to new and exotic places.
I've always been in awe at the wonder of what new experiences lie beyond the horizon.
I have been all over the world and lived in many places but home is in the great state of Texas! The San Antonio River Walk is a pleasure and life in the not-so-sleepy-or-small anymore town of San Marcos is very relaxing while affording easy access to Austin, Randolf AFB, San Antonio, and the BBQ Capital of Texas - Lockhart.
Thanks to my dear friend, Joe Mondello in the Bronx, my so longed for pilgrimage to Strawberry Fields was an awesome experience.

I was annointed an "Official Member of the Beatles Global Family" by Louise Harrison (George's sister) with a "Harrison Hug" during the Liverpool Days Beatles Convention in Pasadena, California. You had to be there. I saw Paul McCartney only seven rows from the stage (Row G!) in Houston during his Back In The US Tour on October 13, 2002. Also saw Eric Clapton and many other greats at his Crossroads Guitar Festival in Dallas in June 2004 for what was indeed "three days of peace, love, and guitars." It was an unbelievably magic time!
I have two grown daughters, Miyo Michelle and Kelly Anne, who live in California and New York respectively.
Miyo and my wonderful son-in-law, Ray, have a three year old little girl, Dylann Avery, and just welcomed a son, Logan Harper. I am so happy for them and love being a grandfather.
Kelly enjoys an exciting life in New York City where she works in the fashion industry and nightclub entertainment business in Manhattan. She and her boyfriend, Dean Winters (of NBC's 30 Rock, Sex & the City, Oz, & more), can be seen on the red carpet at many glamorous events with the who's who of society and I am delighted for their happiness and enormous success.
Check them out in the pics section along with a wide variety of others!

Dear John,
How could you have been taken from your loving family and friends and from all of us who so deeply admired you?
What wonderful music and messages have we all been denied that you might have shared? It is a void and an emptyness that cannot be filled.
Thank you so sincerely for all that you represented to those of us among your greatest admirers who saw in your life a hope for real peace.
