ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!
LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!

When we heard Paul was bringing his Back In the US Tour to the Compaq Center in Houston, we knew we had to go. To have shared the experience with Mary (only 7 rows away in front of Paul) is beyond words to describe and, when we first glimpsed him coming out on the stage singing Hello Goodbye, tears filled our eyes. What can one say about such an incredibly magical experience? One great Beatles song after another from the greatest song writer in history!

I couldn't believe my eyes as Paul came out on stage and there we were, right up close and personal, for a Beatle lover's dream come true! Few moments in a person's life stand out so magnificently as the first time you see the legend, the Knight, and, of course, the Beatle that is Sir Paul McCartney.

Paul McCartney - Hello Goodbye (Back In The US Tour 2002)
"Hello Goodbye" was the Christmas single for 1967 and topped the charts in both the United States and Britain where it spent seven weeks at number one. It also appeared on the American album Magical Mystery Tour and, in fact, the song was recorded during sessions for the British double EP of the same name, though the LP is the current official version.
Though the songwriting credit is Lennon/McCartney, it was written only by Paul McCartney.
We were totally mesmerized when Paul first walked out on stage and launched the show with this great song!

My interests include sharing with my beloved Mary our Beatles & rock memorabilia, all the wonderful music, my beautiful Martin D-28 Acoustic Guitar, my awesome iMac, and traveling to new and exotic places.

I've always been in awe at the wonder of what new experiences lie beyond the horizon.
I have been all over the world and lived in many places but home is in the great state of Texas! The San Antonio River Walk is a pleasure and life in the not-so-sleepy-or-small anymore town of San Marcos is very relaxing while affording easy access to Austin, Randolf AFB, San Antonio, and the BBQ Capital of Texas - Lockhart. Sharing all this with Mary is wonderful, people are friendly and more and more new stores and restaurants are opening all the time.
I LOVE NEW YORK!
Thanks to my dear friend, Joe Mondello in the Bronx, my so longed for pilgrimage to Strawberry Fields was an awesome experience. We look forward to new adventures, planning someday to take the full Beatles Tours of London and Liverpool. Amsterdam? Scotland? That would be soooo cool!
In April 2007 we took a Royal Caribbean Cruise from Galveston to Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel that was absolutely fantastic!
In November 2007 we went to Barcelona, Spain for another Royal Caribbean cruise that took us through the Mediterranean to Villefranche Sur Mer (Monaco & Monte Carlo), Livorno (Leaning Tower of Pisa), Rome & Vatican, Naples (Pompei & Sorrento), and Palermo. It was an incredible experience and we had a fabulous time!
HERE ARE SOME PICS FROM OUR MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE:

February 2008 found us on our third Royal Caribbean and fourth overall cruise as we sailed from Galveston to Cozumel, Honduras, and the Yucatan for a week of fun in the sun and warm temperatures.

Life is good and I am so grateful for the many blessings we enjoy.
