I debated on posting these photos, but then I figured that I might as well since I have them. These are photos of Jimmy McCulloch. I am sad to admit that I had to look up his name because I couldn't remember it. Jimmy McCulloch was a member of Wings from 1974-1977. He played the lead guitar. Since he was in the band in 1976, he was the guitarist that toured with Paul, Linda and the rest of Wings on the American Summer tour, so a lot of fans had access to him for photos.
Now I have to confess that I am not a big Wings fan. I do like a lot of their songs and have Wingspan and most of their Cds. However I am not into the history of Wings at all. I can't keep straight who quit when and the names of who was in the band.
But once I looked up Jimmy McCulloch, I did recall that he was the guy who died of a drug overdose before Wings even disbanded. What a sad ending to his life....
As many of you know, I run the Beatles solo photo forum and before it moved to the new server, someone with the nickname of "Winojunko" sent me these fan photos of Jimmy Mc. They were taken over the 2 days Wings played NYC in May 1976.
