Remember when Ringo used to sign autographs?  He even held events like this one from time to time.  Here he is at a Tower Records, signing "Vh1 Storytellers Cds" for Foturnate fans.   Did any of you meet him there?

A happy day for the McCartney family

 

September 26, 1998 -

What a bittersweet day this was for the McCartney family.    They came together to celebrate Mary's wedding day.   Paul walked his beautiful daughter down the aisle.  They arrived in the famous car that took Paul to the premiere of Yellow Submarine in 1968.    But there had to be a sad feeling that beautiful September day because it was the first big gathering after Linda's death.   I am sure she was deeply missing and tears were shed.

Taking a walk on a difficult day

 

June 22, 1998

Paul was spotted going for a walk in New York City before Linda's New York memorial.   I remember it was this big controversy at the time because Yoko lived in New York, and she wasn't invited to the memorial.  I don't think Paul even cared about the controversy.   He just wanted to remember Linda.

Linda's Memorial service

 

June 8, 1998 -  Linda's memorial service was a very difficult time for Beatle family.  These pictures aren't easy to look at because you can just see such sadness on Paul's (and the kids') faces.  But it warms my heart that George and Ringo (along with their wives) came to the memorial to not just honor Linda but to be there for Paul.   Most of the time, members of the Beatles don't attend high-profile memorial services because they want the focus to be on the person that passed away and not a media-circus because they are there.   I am glad that George and Ringo were there to support Paul.   I know the media was there (obvious -- we have these photos), but I don't remember it being a frenzie.

La-de-da/Mmmmm Bop

 May 10, 1998 -  One of my favorite Ringo videos was filmed 25 years ago today -- "La-de-da"  The appearance of Hanson is just icing on the cake. 

Court Deposition

 May 6, 1998 - George Harrison gives a deposition at the High Court in the lawsuit against the Hamburg Tapes.    I never thought those tapes were nearly as terrible as George said they were, and I would love to hear them cleaned up.

Proud Mom and Dad

 

March 11, 1998 -  Linda and Pau were so proud of their daughter, Stella.   Such bittersweet photos.
