i have it on a fairly authentic source that "blue funk' is the only track miles, jimi and paul ever worked on...it featured miles playing pauls hofner, jimi playing the drums and paul on miles horn...oooh...that sounded bad...erm...trumpet.....

'course...the 'fairly authentic source was me when i was drunk on my goard...but, hey...at least i dreamed i was in the hard rock cafe in katmandu when i had that revelation !

In the hard rock cafe in Katmandou you can also find an unknown telegram from Frank Sinatra where he want Paul to sing duet with him on Pauls infamous song Suicide. Unfortunately Paul were on holiday. When ol blue eyes didn t get any answer he got really pissed of and recorded Something instead. Yeah the hard rock cafe in Katmandou is THE place to visit if you wan t to find real rock roll treasures

PAUL MCCARTNEY has shot a video paying tribute to Jim Marshall, inventor of the Marshall amplifier, who passed away recently at the age of 88. The clip shows THE BEATLES legend and his backing band playing instrumental version of the JIMI HENDRIX classic 'Foxy Lady'. McCartney stops the tune and says: “This goes to the family and the friends of…the great Jim Marshall, founder of Marshall Amps. Jim made it loud. We want to thank Jim. Man, we love you. Our tribute to you.”

i gotta be careful, though, yaz...don't want to make it seem like i'm sucking the mccartney corporate teat too much, one could get a reputation for being a toadie to everything mccartney puts out, right ?
