MACCA'S BIG DAY (in a lot of ways)

A little treat I found on You Tube for you:

Today's a big day for Paul McCartney -- at 2 p.m. PST he'll receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and tonight he'll take part in a live concert videocast at L.A.'s Capitol Studios which will be streaming on iTunes at 7 p.m. PST. McCartney will be premiering live renditions of songs from his new critically acclaimed standards set, Kisses On The Bottom. The events of the day help make February 9th an ongoing benchmark for McCartney's career; 48 years ago today the Beatles made their American debut on The Ed Sullivan Show, and 40 years ago today, "Macca" made his first-ever solo appearance at England's Nottingham University during Wings' inaugural gig. The weekend will be rounded out with his MusiCares Honor on Friday (February 10th), and possibly several appearances at the Grammy telecast on Sunday (February 12th).
