SIR PAUL+QUEBEC CITY=HARMONY, by TICKLEBEAR

sir paul mccartney did his gig in quebec city,

& me & my friends got to see it

last night on illico.

paul is now a sexagenarian

& it shows ever so slightly in some ways,

but nostalgia is quite forgiving.

yet paul remains after all this icon of an era

when there was such hope

for peace & love universally,

giving us a superb performance there.

it had been a while

since i'd seen an artist being just SO generous

with his public.

he went through the beatles repertoire,

along with wings' & his own,

showing us just how pertinent

he's always remained,

& reminding us of all this music

that has marked our lives.

he had lovely attentions for the people in quebec city

& people responded in such a way

that proved there was simply no polemics whatsoever

as far as quebeckers were concerned.

it made for a memorable moment

& i can just imagine those people,

in 10-20-30 years,

reminiscing & stating with satisfaction

that they were "THERE"

when that happened.

a unique opportunity

for quebecois & english cultures to embrace

& make peace.

there was such vibrancy,

i know this will not be forgotten

anytime soon...if ever!!!

:D~

it is a blessing that

paul has the health & the will

to still share with us his talent.

& we are most grateful for partaking into this.

my friends & i watched it

from the comfort of my place

& though it surely made for a different experience,

we were all most happy to see paul perform.

personally,

my strongest & most moving moments were

when he sang

"my love",

"band on the run",

"live & let die",

"let it be",

& of course

"hey jude",

where paul had some fun with the crowd,

to the delight of everyone i'm sure!!

:D~

& he also sang "michelle"...

;)~

a brit made quebeckers smile

& sing along on the plains of abraham,

thus washing the pain away for some,

i hope...

paul has always been revered here

as an icon

& his visit here made him appear friendly & generous.

truly the kind of friend we like to have.

a true ambassador for the reconciliation?

a true artist at any rates,

that reunites people all around the world.

:)~

sir paul,

thanx for the good times,

& hoping there may be more of these

sometime soon.

hey!!

we can dream,

can't we?!?...

:D~

HUGZ

happy customers!!!

we'll remember this night fondly.
