The Paul McCartney Live and Let Die show Aug. 18 had wonderful meaning for me. My youngest son, Davin Palmer, works behind the scenes on the George Lopez Show, and his wife has handled props for Jimmy Kimmell for years.
When McCartney was guest artist on her birthday one year, he serenaded her with the “Happy Birthday” song.
My oldest son, Kye Palmer, a Grammy-winning trumpeter, who played on “Brazil Station,” McCartney’s latest CD.
After they finished recording, Paul asked to borrow Kye’s horn, and, without music, played a lively rendition of “When the Saints Go Marching In.” He plays piano, too.
Who said The Beatles men weren’t “real” musicians?

The GRF’s decision to involve itsel financially with the Sunshine Club’s 60th anniversary party (Letters, Aug. 11) was inappropriate, to say the least, and the editor’s answers to the inquiry did not help.
I get that Sunshine is a dogooder and quite often helps GRF do good, and maybe the board feels that it’s all good will to give the club a favor.
The intention might be good, but the optic is bad, bad as in playing favorites. Please don’t make a precedent out of this.

I want to remind LW residents of a senior meal delivery service called Simply Delicious.
I’ve used its service for several months and look forward to each and every delivery.
I justify the cost by reducing my own trips to the grocery store.
You will find its information and weekly menu in the LW newspaper.
Simply Delicious provides fresh, fully cooked meals on a schedule of your choosing.
Each delivery is an inviting presentation of freshly made entrees, including seasonal fruit, vegetables and, of course, a wonderful dessert. The owner, Salim, provides the best service and aims to please.

What a enchanting evening with the Korean American Association.
The broad range of talent from instrumentals, drummers performance, dancing, singing and traditional dress exhibited the broad range of musical ability. I especially enjoyed the combined number of the Korean Chorale and the Leisure World Orchestra. It was a lovely evening while learning about the cultural talents here in Leisure World.

What a delightful evening hosted by the Korean American Association Saturday evening.
The event was most enjoyable, and the sponsors extremely generous in their giveaways that ranged from gift cards to candies, tote bags, hand wipes and drink bottles. About 1,500 folks were in the audience. The show was incredibly entertaining with a broad range of performers, beautiful traditional costumes, swanky dance numbers, a stunning clarinet solo, traditional drummers, a fan dance and chorale numbers by various Korean groups.
The evening concluded with a choir joining the LW Symphony Orchestra in a rousing rendition of Handel’s “Messiah” that got audience members up on their feet in the traditional manner.
A big thank you to all the performers and organizers, bravo!
I’m looking forward to next year’s performance.
