Before she died, Mary McCartney had wanted Paul to become a doctor; Jim hoped he’d go to university and become a teacher or writer … but Paul wanted to be a star and had the confidence and talent to shoot for it. And with stardom he’d be rich. About £75,000 would cover what he wanted. As he later said, “If you’d asked me for my fantasies when I was 16 years old, standing at a bus stop waiting to go to Garston on the 86, I’d have said ‘guitar, car and a house,’ in that order. That was it—the entire thing.”

Tune In


Перед смертью Мэри Маккартни хотела, чтобы Пол стал врачом; Джим надеялся, что поступит в университет и станет учителем или писателем… но Пол хотел стать звездой и имел уверенность и талант, чтобы добиться этого. И со славой он был бы богат. Около 75 000 фунтов стерлингов покрыли бы то, что он хотел. Как он позже сказал: «Если бы вы спросили меня о моих фантазиях, когда мне было 16 лет, когда я стоял на автобусной остановке в ожидании поездки в Гарстон по шоссе 86, я бы сказал: «гитара, машина и дом». в этой последовательности. Вот и все.

Happy Birthday to two of my heroes. It’s Ringo and my Dad’s birthday so let’s have a great day to celebrate these two great people - Paul

Тетушка Милли Кендалл уехала погостить к своим родственникам в Австралию в 1967 и даже планировала там остаться. Но один из ее племянников (Пол) нарисовал целый плакат "Вернись, Милли!", который продемонстрировали во время первого в истории телемоста. Милли поняла, как ее любят и ждут обратно в Англии и, конечно же, вернулась на радость всех своих родственников.

One of those 400 million people was, you guessed it Milly Kendall. Angie McCartney wrote in her book, My Long and Winding Road, "Milly told us she had not long arrived and was tired and exhausted from her journey. But they had the telly on in the next room and she was half watching the screen when suddenly this placard came up. She was flabbergasted, as at this stage we were not as tech saturated as we are now. It was a real link between our two hemispheres."

Чего только не сделаешь, если племянник просит

Милли и ее муж Альберт

Не знаю, Милли и Лил одно ли лицо. Но гугл их не различает. В общем, благодаря тетушки Лил, Пол сочинил "Paperback Writer"

"Paperback Writer" was largely written by Paul McCartney, who based the lyrics on a challenge made to him by his Aunt Lil. McCartney said in 1966: "Years ago, my Auntie Lil said to me, 'Why do you always write songs about love all the time? Can't you ever write about a horse or the summit conference or something interesting?' So, I thought, 'All right, Auntie Lil.'" According to Radio Luxembourg DJ Jimmy Savile's recollection, the inspiration for the song came backstage at a concert venue when McCartney, mindful of his aunt's request, saw Ringo Starr reading a book and declared his intention to write a song about a book.

Тетушка Джин была избрана в качестве делегата от родственников в связи с тем, что ее племянник Пол увлекся травой:



“One of the reasons auntie Jin came down to visit me in London when I was about twenty-four or twenty-five was to talk to me about the sin of smoking pot. Her nickname was ‘Control’, and she had been sent down by the family as an emissary. I suppose the word had got back that ‘our Paul’ was going a bit wild in London, so someone needed to go and check in on him. Anyway, she came down to visit me in Cavendish Avenue, where I’d been living for a while. When your auntie comes to visit, you do some of the old things you did when you were younger. So I was sitting around, playing a bit of piano, having a drink, playing cards, and having a good old chat. It was a very warm atmosphere, and the song arose out of that sense of family”

— Paul McCartney on his aunt Jin and the song ‘Your Mother Should Know’ from The Lyrics, 2021.


“Paul’s Liverpool family were concerned by the news of their Paul taking drugs. Aunt Ginny called a family conference to discuss what to do, with the result that Ginny came down south to have it out with Paul. ‘So she goes to London to stay with Paul,’ says family member Mike Robbins. ‘About five days later she comes back and we all meet– I’ll always remember– in her little cottage, in Mersey View, [my wife,] me, Milly.’ The family asked if Ginny had been able to see Paul, whereupon the 57-year-old took a spliff out of her handbag and asked dreamily: ‘Have you ever tried one of these?’ The ‘relies’ sparked up and had a smoke of Paul’s weed. ‘We laffed like bloody drains,’ says Mike.

Допускаю, что по этому поводу автор назвал одну свою песенку именно как "Auntie Gin's Theme". Почему-то под этим названием ее записал Джордж Мартин.

The photos were taken in the rear parlour of 147 Dinas Road at the wedding reception for Ian Harris and his new bride Jackie.

Ian was Paul McCartney's cousin, the son of Harry Harris and his wife Jinny, known the world over as 'Auntie Jin' after Paul namechecked her in his 1976 hit 'Let 'Em In'.


As Ian was 19 and Jackie only 16 they naturally wanted some musical entertainment at the reception suitable for their own age group. Ian asked cousin Paul and his mates to provide it. While it's highly unlikely that drummer Colin Hanton would have attended - he's certainly never mentioned it - it has been suggested in some books that on the original, uncropped version of the first colour photo the headstock of an acoustic guitar is visible to the extreme left of George leading some experts and historians to ponder who it might be, and reasoning that at the time the photo was taken the Quarry Men's other guitarist, Eric Griffiths, had already left the band

Paul McCartney loves music because of his father
In The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present, Paul wrote that his father came from the music hall era. The family was “steeped” in it. The family often sang together around their piano, especially during parties.

Interestingly, Jim got the family’s upright piano from Harry Epstein’s North End Music Store (NEMS). Epstein’s son Brian later became The Beatles’ manager.

Paul’s Auntie Jin and Auntie Milly used to sing an old music hall song called “Bread and Butterflies.” Later, Jim worked as a limelight operator at the Royal Hippodrome, which helped more music creep into the McCartney household.

Paul’s father was the family pianist, but there was always someone around who could play the instrument. “It was a wonderful thing because it meant people broke into song a lot, like in musicals,” Paul wrote.

Despite being proficient in the instrument, Jim did not want to teach his son piano. He wanted Paul to learn from a professional. Jim didn’t consider himself one, even though he’d performed many times with his jazz band and had his own song.
