Love Wayne Thiebaud! Have several of his paintings.

1) Prints or real live paintings? Holy crap if you have originals. I love the guy.

I've always dug "Ram." One of my go-to summer albums, for whatever reason. I'm glad Macca dusted this one off with his current band in recent years.

3) Wait, stop the presses! We agree, we agree! Yeah, I've always had a soft spot for that record.

[4] Listening to it right now, man. It's more polished than the McCartney album (esp. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey and The Back Seat of My Car), but it retains a lot of that homemade, slapdash feel that I enjoy from him. It just has a good, warm feel to it. Smile away...

5) Well put, as always.
