He was incredibly versatile as a musician. I read comments from his contemporaries that said he was the kind of musician who could pick up an instrument he'd never seen or played before, and in minutes, could figure out how to play it and make real music with it. He just had a gift.

Remarkably, my son seems to have a similar gift.

Signed,

Mrs. calimary Jones McCartney ("married" Paul after Brian left me a "widow"...)
