MACCA MEMORIES: Below is a video of a trip to see Paul McCartney in Charlotte, N.C. It was made by Iva Hicks, the young daughter of Dave Doyle, a long long time pal of Beatlefan's Rick Glover ("Fans on the Run") -- they saw Wings together in '76. She made a little video collage of the Day Paul Came To Charlotte and, as Rick described it, "it really captures the excitement of the whole experience, especially from the perspective of someone who just got their learners license!!" By the way, that's Rick's bald head covered in confetti at the end of the video.
