I thought I was crazy...

at brunch today with a friend who has been an amateur musician playing mostly classic rock (he is a guitarist and sings) and his girlfriend, who loves rock music...they are both late 50s, early 60s. So we start talking about popular music we loved and got to the Beatles and then Paul McCartney.

So, I started talking about a song that had meant a lot to me when my kids were little and loved to dance to "Listen to what the man said." I mentioned a sax solo and asked if it was a soprano sax. Both said "no, what you are hearing is a synthesizer."

I went home and racked my brain. How could I be so stupid? What did I confuse that song with?

I looked at some stuff on YouTube and saw no soprano being played. Then I went to Google and found out we were both right! Tom Scott was the sax player and recorded it and it's there now when McCartney performs that song, it's just not live.

It's good to know that my memory has not completely fallen apart...
