Sir Paul McCartney says, “Yes.”

Nov 24, 2014

It was the answer we had dared to dream: Sir Paul McCartney had agreed to sign the painted Beatles-themed piano, an auction item benefiting East St. Tammany Habitat for Humanity.

When Fate steps in and the Starrs align: Two Beatles. One Piano. And an opportunity to make a difference.

Oct 7, 2014

    On my last post, I spoke of Destiny, and how sometimes the planets and the stars align in such a way that we cannot ignore them. Little did I know that the universe had yet more Starrs to shine: those of Ringo Starr and the All Starr Band, and an upcoming concert on […]
