is dead. There is only "Faul" now.

RAM was already in the vault, and Denny Laine made Wings a great thing before his android could sing with Stevie Wonder and show up on SNL....

I just found out that "My sweet lord" was ripped off from James Taylor.


No, it was "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons.

Nah, Willy Campbell, the first Faul, established Wings but died of a coke overdose in 1977. He was actually a way better songwriter than real Paul. We're on the second Faul now.

Charles 'Chas' Newby (born 18 June 1941, in Blackpool, Lancashire, England), was temporarily the bassist for The Beatles in December 1960, following the departure of Stuart Sutcliffe. When The Beatles returned from West Germany for the first time, they were short of a bass guitarist. Pete Best suggested Chas Newby. Chas had been with The Blackjacks (Pete Best's group), and was now attending university, but was on holiday and so agreed to play with The Beatles. He appeared with them for four engagements in December 1960 (17 December, Casbah Club, Liverpool; 24 December, Grosvenor Ballroom, Liscard; 27 December, Litherland Town Hall; 31 December, Casbah Club). John Lennon asked him to go to West Germany, for the Beatles' second trip, but he chose to return to university.

Chas later became a teacher of mathematics at Droitwich Spa High School in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire, England. Chas now lives in Alcester and plays in a charity group - The Racketts.

I was referring to a thread from earlier. It basically said that James Taylor was signed to Apple, he was working on some ideas in the studio and they ended up on the Beatles next album. Unbeknownst to him.

Stealing from James Taylor is petty larceny

The Chicago convention mentioned in the article is Beatlefest. I have attended it several times and got Louise Harrison's autograph.
