Jim Logie from Glasgow, Scotland, just stopped by. He plays for Itchy-coo Park -- that's a song by the Small Faces -- and he plays bass, they do Beatles and general '60s music.
He's 50. His first Beatles memory is seeing the Beatles on tv -- Morecamb and Wise show, the biggest in the UK at the time -- singing "I Want to Hold Your Hand." He was 7 years old, and he wanted to be a Beatle by the time. "It took me 43 years, but I got here," Jim said.
He played in bands all through the 70s and 80s, but 10 years ago, they started this band. They've played from Sweden to Argentina, the islands, France. They sold out at the Cavern Club, the Beatles' old haunt.
He never gets tired of the music. His favorite Beatles song is "If I Fell" from "A Hard Day's Night" because he watched the movie when he was 7 and saw John singing that song. "I thought, I thought that was it, I'm going to be that guy," Jim said.
As for Paul, the fellow bass player said McCartney is a fabulous bass player, melodic and inventive.
More later .....
