Thanks for having me on the board . I have made a conscientous effort to do all the required reading for I was quick to grasp the importance of avoiding redundancy . I did not find any reference to handwriting comparisons however.
But to the point .
How happened to Paul's old Hofner bass guitars ? For that matter , his Rickenbacker ?
paul had two Hofners . The pickguarded one is in the hall of fame in Cleveland. Faul appears to still be using the other . I wonder if the id numbers could be compared .
Paul also owned a RIC bass . It had a "lollipop " pychedelic paint job which was stripped down to a natural Mapleglo finish. I didnt notice him using this until Magical Mystery Tour, so maybe this won't help.
How about hair cuttings . Im pretty sure there are lots of barbershop clippings from Paul and Faul in peoples souvenier collections . How about a comparison ?
Along the same lines , checking old clothing samples for seeds and spores peculiar to Canada but not to the UK.

Yes . The chain of evidence does present problems. Now a embarrassing confession. I realized indeed that I had NOT read all the threads ! For some reason I missed the page numbers ((1,2,3,4,5,) For someone who has been surfing as long as I have I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER

Ringo was older than Paul. Anyone have a recent pic of Ringo to compare to Faul for aging comparison purposes ?

Ringo REALLY looks like Faul's baby...

Ringo REALLY looks like Faul's baby... He sure does! Does this tie in to speculation that Faul was somewhta older than Paul ?

LOLOLOL It looks like Faul was hit by a truck. He looks at least 10 years older the Ringo.

Exactly. He IS 10 years older than James Paul. Clue in "Sgt. Pepper" song.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Lennon/McCartney) published in 1967
"It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play They've been going in and out of style But they're guaranteed to raise a smile. So may I introduce to you The act you've known for all these years..."
James Paul McCartney formed his first band on 1957...so actually...
"It was ten years ago today,.."
20-10=10 age difference between Faul and James Paul McCartney

One thing we have going for us we did'nt have 37 yeqrs ago is the passage of 37 years . The above picture is part of that . We have 37 years of suspicious history and paper trails to follow. To me that is a good tack to take , rather than just going over old album clues although I have enjoyed the refresher course on them.
I am wondering if Faul ever keeps up or visits any of his old contacts ? Dies he stay in contact with any people in Liverpool ?

SK, for some reason, I keep thinking read that the age difference was seven years when I first found the 60IF/PID sites. Are you sure it's 10 and not 7?

Possible indicator - What few autographs I have seen by Faul , he seems to be in the habit of signing over a dark area of a program-cover to make the signature harder to see.
PAUL had a habit of ending words with a waterfall downstroke . I have not seen this in Fauls writing.
Paul uses a lighter pressure on the pen than Faul , it seems to me.

So Faul is certainly not chasing waterfalls (or is that water Fauls) ;D

20 years back from 1967 would be 1947, not 1937!

20 years ago from when the band was formed in 1957 was 1937.

So Faul is certainly not chasing waterfalls (or is that water Fauls) ;D Quite right . In addittion , I have noticed a dramatic difference in pen oressure , the position in the dots over the i's. And other basic differences . Graphology is very mainstream nowadays . And it is IMPOSSIBLE to for a writer to disguise his identity .

20 years back from 1967 would be 1947, not 1937! I was thinking, the twenty years. instead of applying to a begin and end date specific to 1967, or whatever, maybe it just refers to something that occurs in twenty year cycles? I mean, "20 years ago today", that "today" could be anyday at all, an ongoing "today". Surely Sgt Pepper didn't teach the band everything it had to know in just ONE SHORT DAY, did he? Of course not. The phrase is the language of anniversary, but I guess I am trying to say that the anniversary is non-specific. Don't look for a date. More of a general time period. I dunno. Lame idea.

I've been thinking for a while about how to go about researching stuff. I'm at college as a criminal justice major, and focusing more on the investigative side of things, so I've been trying for a while to think about how to find something that is out of reach of the "Powers That Be". What I've come up with is to try and find as many candid photos of Paul through the years as possible.
Anything that is found in magazines, or on album covers, or on television and in movies can be edited. I think that it would be probably best to try and track down photos that random people took at concerts, or when they happened to catch a glimpse of Faul. Chances are that they wouldn't have been massively edited in order to make him look different.
Handwriting analysis is a good way to go, but it isn't completely accurrate. It's good for saying if something was written by the same person, or if it was written by a different person, but handwriting tends to change, especially if you're comparing the handwriting of a young man in his twenties, and a man in his sixties.
But those two thoughts are just my humble opinion. I don't know if I'm right, or if that is the best way to go, but in my opinion, those might bring the most conclusive, unedited proof.

But those two thoughts are just my humble opinion. I don't know if I'm right, or if that is the best way to go, but in my opinion, those might bring the most conclusive, unedited proof. Hardly anyone has any. Which defies comprehension. I have asked around, a little bit (not too much) and people say they may have had a pic or something at one time, but they lost it or them, or gave them away or sold them. Think about how many people burned their Beatle memorabilia in 1966, especially in the American South...... The first videotape machine I ever saw was at a science fair/expo in Atl., in 1965, where they were showing the newest and the brand new things. It was a big, boxy, heav looking thing with knobs and handles for controls. It was $1,000.00. One wonders---did anyone buy one of those ancient clinkers in '65 and videotape a Beatle appearance on the telly? By now the videotape would be nearly rotten. And the format---I dont know what it was, but my guess is it was Beta format which is as lost to humanity as the "78" vinyl album, or the victrola, or even more obsolete and rarer than (*gasp*) the 8-track car stereo. I postulate that 37 people spread out thru North America have anything of interest to our pursuit. The live in small town America or Canada, and all their old Beatle stuff is dust covered, moldy, and in banker's boxes in a cellar that was flooded out 18 years ago. The last real clear pre-William photos were a 43 picture collection offered up on e-bay by Wilifred Stockmeinster of Anderson Lakes, Wisconsin back in 1998. It sold in 3 minutes to Agents of Macca for $45.27 cents, exceeding the reserve by $5.23. Although I am lying though my teeth with this fiction, it is fair explanation for the inexplicable dirth of Beatle's photos floating freely about in America. Photos made with brownie cameras, Polaroids, old Kodak's with ancient color film from the mid 60's, as well as "home" tapings of Beatle movies, appearances, interviews, and news items. Or the original network broadcast premiere of "Hard Day's Night." This stuff simply does NOT exist anymore. I f it does, I think it magically finds it's way to the ultra-secret Beatle recycling lab in Llyandochbraithmeaddowlochgogolgochmairsteache, in Wales. Wales, which is a very seldom thought of nation in the world, so consequently, it is never investigated, it the favorite choice of the Crown and also MI5 for engaging in hush-hush, rather private, PR co-opting of such acts as Doris Day-Lewis, (Daniels' mom), Courtenay Cox-Chambers, grandaughter to the Media mogul in Atlanta: Kathleen Ted Turner, transi- replacement of Jane Fonda's ex-husband, and, especially of late, the "Heather Locklear Mills Brothers", which is an R&B band so confusing, that words fail. Just like this post.

Oh, however, here are 3 avenues of investigation NOT to explore.
a.) Atlantic Avenue in Atlantic City, New Jersey. nothing there, forget it.
b.) Palisade Avenue in Teaneck New Jersey. Nope, zippo, chase down another boulevard.
c.) Madison Avenue, Madison New Jersey. I wouldn't even mess with that one; simply not worth a darn.
In general, the thoroughfares in New Jersey are not promising avenues of investigation.

What were you doing in my cellar?!
There's so much junk lost in my cellar, that, I kid you not, an entire AM transmitter and an egg and sausage sandwich from Turkey Hill have disappeared without a trace.
(Wormholes or worse I suspect.)
