Janet and I were lucky enough to see a Beatle!!

Fenway Park is where the Red Sox play Baseball.... outside!!! Forecast was initially for rain all day :(

We lucked out, rain was delayed and we had a beautiful breezy warm Night. It is pouring Rain today.

Sir Paul Played for 2:45 and at 80 has not lost a step. He was fantastic. Voice Loud and strong.  ;D and charming as he ever was.

In 1972 I purchased a New Camaro for $3200. It was the same price for us to see a Beatle yesterday.

Fifth row, center stage.  Live and Let Die! Priceless memory....Doug

For some perspective, from an inflation calculator:

$3,200 in 1972 --> $22,132.75 today

$3,200 today --> $462.66 in 1972

Glad for you.  I got to see him in Munich in 1976.  He loves his music and makes sure everyone else does too!
