Apple Meeting 1983

 

December 1, 1983 -  Dorchester Hotel 

It was on this date that Paul & Linda, Ringo, George and Yoko all met at Yoko's suite at the Dorchester Hotel in London.    According to a comment on this very site, The Beatles EMI contract had expired in 1976, so they'd each had the option to sign with other labels - George and Ringo signed with new labels, but Paul stayed with EMI, but as part of the new deal, Paul negotiated an increased royalty payment for Beatles' record sales - so he was getting more than the others.

The meeting did not go well, but Paul and Linda sure look happy.  I still have never found a photograph of Ringo from this date.  But apparently he tolk a reporter who asked if the Beatles were getting back together not to be "daft."

I wish I knew the story behind this photo.  Who are these two guys and how did they get to meet Paul?  Is Paul eating a salad in this photo?   

Paul You Make Me Happy

 September 25, 2008 - Israel 

You didn't have to be in attendance of this concert to have Paul make you happy.  I love that banner and completely agree.  I bet all of us here agree -- Paul makes us happy.   Thank you Paul!

That water looks so blue and relaxing.   And does Paul really swim with his thumbs up???

Freedom!

January 27, 1980 --  Paul is out of jail in Japan and is happy back at home.   Thumbs a loft and promises never to smoke pot again. 

Green Monday in front of the jukebox

You know I'm a sucker for a photo of Paul standing in front of his MPL jukebox!   Another one to add to the collection.
