Hello everyone, and welcome to what is (I guess) another instalment of "A Conversation with...". Is it a regular bonus episode? Is it its own side series? Who knows?If you remember our last bonus episode on "Hey Grandude", then you will recall the bonus audio from a man who, for legal reasons, I can only refer to as "Friend of the show" Andy, or just Andy.
For those who may not have heard that audio, firstly go back and check it out, as it will help further contextualise the world of our conversation, but the cliff notes version is that Andy was a super fan of McCartney in the 80's. A typical second generation scruff, he followed Macca's every move and gathered quite a few stories, trinkets and opinions.
After I heard his audio I knew I would have to have him on to talk about EVERYTHING, and here is the conversation we had which includes...
Meeting Paul and Linda McCartney several times.
Witnessing the recording of multiple McCartney TV specials.
Interviewing Ringo for a Dutch Beatle fanzine.
How modern music habits affect listening to a McCartney album.
Annoying George Harrison.
Singing "Again and Again and Again" to a forgetful Denny Laine.
Being quizzed on subterfuge methodology by McCartney himself.
Why Back to the Egg is underrated.
...and much, much more!!!
Andy was a gentlemen, and a pleasure to speak with.
Please check out his YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/user/FanOfWings
Please enjoy. Hare Krishna. Peace and love.
