Everynight, Man we was lonely, Maybe I'm amazed. Everynight and Maybe I'm amazed are love songs. I can't resist love songs. Man he was lonely is a cute song, I like the harmonies and the country side feel.

I don't like Momma Miss America. I just don't like the word Momma.
happy.

1. When did you first hear McCartney? Did you buy it for yourself and approximately how old were you?
I first heard my older brother's copy, in 1970 or 71, but less than a year after it came out. He had it on 8 track, and the player we had for it was such superb in sound quality, that I heard the album in the best of all possible audio conditions. I was 13 I think.


2. What were your first impressions of the album and what is your opinion of this album now?
I knew "Maybe I'm Amazed" from the video Ed Sullivan showed, but as I heard the rest of the album, I thought how weird it was that it was so loose, even looser than "Let It Be" which came out about the same time. I love the album now, and rank it in my Top 5. I don't normally like instrumentals, especially then, but this album made me fall in love with them.

Hard to pick a best track, though I lean towards "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Teddy Boy" and sometimes "Every Night." Couldn't all three of them have been Beatle tracks? The production especially of "Maybe I'm Amazed" sounds amazing considering it was a home recording. He needs to do a McCartney III. The least favorite is easier. Kreen Akore.

Thanks!


I never noticed his nose till about six months ago!
