I love it when things come together....


You all know that I am obsessed with the "Little Girl Tapes." That is the two seperate interviews Leslie Samuels and Donna Stark made in 1967 at Paul and George's homes. I am so crazy about the tapes that I sat down and transcribed them the best that I could. I am such a geek! Anyhow...in the George interview, Leslie shows George a photo that a friend of hers took of Klaus Voormann and George painting Kinfuans. Here is that part of the tape....




Leslie: My friend was here last month. Hahaha. From Chicago. I don’t know. My friend was here last month.


George: Yeah.


Leslie: You got to get this signed for me.


George: Look we’d just started painting then.


Leslie: Yeah, my friend said you’ve got to go back when it’s done; I’ve got to come back or something. I guess I’m here and I guess it’s done.


George: Yeah.


Later in the conversatin, Klaus Voorman comes in. That part of the tapes is like this:


George: Have you met Klaus? Good and Tall Klaus.


Leslie: No—hi. Maybe you can sign something we brought.


Klaus: like what?


Leslie: letters.


George: Say hello to people in New York.


Leslie: I knew you were here painting the house cause Eileen told me. It looks fantastic.


George: Oh yeah—his picture is in the photo. She has a picture from when we were painting. Show him the photo. Oh yes—remember that day?


Klaus: Oh yes!


George: And look there—


Klaus: Nice


George: Lovely


Klaus: Yeah.


Leslie: Glad I had this picture and…


George: Absolutely fantastic


Leslie: My friend from New Jersey took it.


Klaus: I said hi to some American girls.


Leslie: She stopped by one day.


George: Yes, she talked about you.


Leslie: She did?!?!


George: Yes cause I remember your name anyhow because of the so many letters.


Leslie: Oh! Wow!


George: And the badges you send.


Leslie: Oh wow! I can’t believe it! You remember me you just said it. (George laughs). And I haven’t fainted. Aren’t you proud of me? I didn’t scream. No one will believe me. Thank you for it.



Well never did I actually think that I would ever SEE the photograph being discussed here of George and Klaus painting Kinfuans,but what do you know! Here it is!!!
