Of course, ...Loved all these and Facebook comments. Of course, me and the Dickheads particularly like this from your post: "The doctor grimaced and asked what Paul used to do for a living. He was a writer I said, mostly about rock and roll, started the first rock magazine, but also he wrote about other writers. "Who's your favorite author Paul? the doctor asked. Paul said "Philip K Dick." <br /><br />Pretty savvy still ;) As always, thank you for keeping us up-to-date, and once again blessings to all of you.ZenWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785982974275423144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-60077359141810743422012-07-03T16:17:56.244-07:002012-07-03T16:17:56.244-07:00Gotta love it. Great story Larry...
That tale abo...Gotta love it. Great story Larry...<br /><br />That tale about Paul taking in the 3 versions of Honky Tonk Woman reminds me of a story he would tell from the Beach Boys SMiLe sessions. He was there for a few days while Brian Wilson lead the guys through a lot of harmonies and weird noise making (Paul joined them on the noises)...Anyways, Carl Wilson brought in a single he picked up in England (was it Otis Reading?) at any rate he'd just bought the American single that day and played it in the studio and Hated It...took the vinyl and broke it over his knee.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238443632454897835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-50703623723147970142012-07-03T15:28:20.526-07:002012-07-03T15:28:20.526-07:00Hey Cindy - Your blog has brought many a tear to m...Hey Cindy - Your blog has brought many a tear to my eye over the time you've been writing it. Yes, as Dave and Steve mentioned, Paul was an integral part of the Translator process while we wrote, pre-produced and recorded our last album... I remember him sitting no more than 2 feet away from me when we recorded the song "Evening of the Harvest"... His eyes shut, swaying, listening in the headphones to the same mix as I... When it was over, he came over to me with tears in his eyes and without saying a word gave me a huge hug.<br />How do you forget something like that??? I also remember when he accompanied us to NYC for the mixing and he and I went into one of those many electronic gadget stores in Times Square so he could by his first CD player... Little did I know there was a method to his madness for as soon as we got back to the Bay Area he went on some radio show and played 3 different versions of "Honky Tonk Woman" (The mono 45; the stereo 33 and the CD version)... His point: the mono 45 kicked ass over all of them...! Gotta love that... Love and strength to you all. - LarryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-78923127538143238112012-07-03T12:40:26.046-07:002012-07-03T12:40:26.046-07:00Dave, That's a great bit of story there...what...Dave, That's a great bit of story there...what was Paul doing in NY, was he traveling with you guys, what year was this?<br />One of the things I'd like to do with this blog is get people that knew Paul to tell us a story about their time with Paul, especially a particular time and place...<br /><br />...and thank you too Steve. I know Paul was very passionate about your bands music. He spoke to me about hanging out with you guys and how much he loved your music and something you represented artistically...<br /><br />One of my all time favorite singles...."Everywhere That I'm Not"<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgqlwFiF1AIAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238443632454897835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-74386078136070960422012-07-03T11:46:04.757-07:002012-07-03T11:46:04.757-07:00Apropos Steve's comment, in NYC, Paul slept in...Apropos Steve's comment, in NYC, Paul slept in the small suite we shared, he'd brought a suitcase, so he'd look legit (we were paying for 4, not 5), and when he opened it, he'd brought a sleeping bag. I thought that was the cleverest thing. We had some great late night chats, talking music and life (which were, for all of us of course) completely intertwined. So, seconding Steve, we all send our love.<br />Dave ScheffAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-37640820288795222162012-07-03T11:33:57.857-07:002012-07-03T11:33:57.857-07:00Hi Cindy - I have such strong and fond memories of...Hi Cindy - I have such strong and fond memories of Paul hanging out with my band Translator in 1984. We were mixing an album in NYC. He ended up writing about it in his wonderful book, "The Map". Will you please tell him that Translator sends him lots of love! Give him a big hug from us!! <br /><br />All good things,<br />Steve BartonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-75532401068055275732012-07-03T10:38:24.438-07:002012-07-03T10:38:24.438-07:00Thank you for the encouraging comments posted here...Thank you for the encouraging comments posted here. <br />The update on Paul today is he is doing much better.
