If I win, can you get Paul McCartney to teach me how to play?
Stephen Arnold Music
Jeremy – Believe it or not, I ran into Paul McCartney years ago at Promax NYC. We went down the street to a small Irish bar – and there he was having a drink with someone. I stepped outside, and when I came back in – there he was in the same narrow entryway hallway walking my way. I had to say “Mr McCartney, I never do this – but you are standing right in front of me and I have to shake your hand and says thanks for all the great music”. He was very kind and did shake my hand!
