Has anyone been up close and personal with Paul?

[mrkatio]

Were any of you fans able to get REALLY close (like, to get an autograph or tell his you want to have his child) before '66? Because then it would be easier to bring a closing to a couple of debated points:

1. His eye colour. Most swear its brown, others green, some say a mixture of the two, hazel.
2. His height. If you were standing next to him before sixty six and he was about the same height as you if you were 5'11, and then years later you meet him again and you only come up to his nose...
3. His facial structure. You guys say there's been a lot of photo doctoring, so there's not telling what BOTH of them look liked without a lens on them.
4. His voice. For those with pretty good ears (and memory), did he sound different when saying "What's your name?" or something than hearing him on records. Some people I know sound WAY different on tape or the phone.

There's probably way more, so...if any of you have been close up to James Paul (and weren't too busy dying to notice some details 'bout him)...please share?

Love and blueberry muffins,

I think SK was very close in Rome. He has a beautiful story there!!! ;D ;D

Oh yeah! I saw Uncle Bill in Rome.
Soon after his last plastic surgery to reduce about 10 years...

Not Faul. Paul. Lots of people have met Faul, but let's find someone who saw him before all that's supposed to have happened.

Oh, he is ALREADY in this forum!
His name is "onlooker"
Please read his witness

The King of the first-person posts (faul-ville) has got to be Mykel. Everyone owes it to themselves to read his output.

Mykels arrogance betrayed him....

I've looked at his posts - all five of them. What arrogance? What are you talking about?

Really. I never denoted any attitude from any of the excellent FIRST PERSON ACCOUNTS which Mykel candidly shared with us. I have corresponded privately with him, and feel his insights are rock solid.

And i feel they are not....as arrogant as both J/Y could be to let a studio musician tell them, let alone Geffen, whose songs he would play on....thats rich....expecially after 5 years of not releasing an album? He never even answered a simple question that John asked Tony Levin in the Dakota...but then again Ian, I would expect u to think they are rock solid....part of your charm......

lol. To each his own. At least the guy has not only BEEN in the same room with Faul, he WORKED with him. He made a significant contribution to this board. So slam him for it. That is what is wrong with 60IF lately. It's going stagnant. Who wants to post anything with the backstabbers lying in wait?

[gharryson]

His claims on Paul seem valid to me also.....im just speaking of being in the studio with j/y....then again he may be right on the mark...........you never know someone until....grin......
