Lennon - McCartney: My Old Friend www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSXzox57e-o&NR=1GeorgeHarrisonLuver writes: "A video tribute I made for them last year (2007) on July, after 50 years since they met. I added this song, because of a very especial story that I would like to tell you if you're going to see this: As you know, the friendship between Lennon and McCartney was really damaged when the Beatles broke up, but after almost 10 years, as John Lennon said "(Just Like) Starting Over", they wanted to have their friendship back. One November day in 1980, Paul and Linda visited John on the Dakota in NY. All the time they were there, John and Paul didn't stop talking and right before Paul left, they gave a walk through the Dakota's interior gardens and it was there where John said to Paul "Will you think about me, my old friend?". A few weeks later, John died. On 1981, while recording "Tug Of War", Paul invited Carl Perkins to play with him and while being in the studio, Carl sang this song. When Paul heard it, he started to cry and left the place. He came back with Linda, and asked Carl to play the song again for her. When he finished, Linda asked to him "How did you know that?". Course, Perkins didn't had any idea of what happened, but since then, that song became really meaninful for Paul. Hope you like it!"

WITH Macca. Terrific. This is also very nice: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTq3hdG4z-A&feature=relatedDistractions. It's totally my life. Good tune, very nicely executed and arranged.
