Posted on October 15, 2012 by Dan Harr

Let’s look at guitar’s left-handers… some obvious, but others you’d never even know. The obvious biggies first – Jimi Hendrix, Tony Iommi, Kurt Cobain, Paul McCartney and many more play left-handed. But it wasn’t always easy for some of them…

McCartney – The Next Generation

Posted on May 29, 2012 by Dan Harr
Because the Beatles remain the single most significant force in the history of popular music, it’s no wonder that all things related to the Fab Four continue to fascinate music fans more than four decades after the quartet called it quits. One of the most intriguing things about that is the reaction when children of John, Paul, George and Ringo perform. The world has long heard from the offspring of Lennon (half-brothers Julian and Sean), Harrison (whose son Dhani records as Thenewno2) and Starr (Zak Starkey, who has drummed…

Paul McCartney – The Love We Make

Posted on January 10, 2012 by Dan Harr
On September 11, 2001, Paul McCartney was on a taxiing plane about to depart from New York, when the pilot told passengers that the flight was canceled – the airport abruptly closed due to an accident at the World Trade Center.
