Words cannot describe the disappointment I felt when I got the news yesterday that the concert I was planning on going to in Louisville, KY was postponed. I totally understand that Paul is following doctor's orders and I agree that he is doing the right thing. I remember about 5 years ago when I had viral pneumonia, it knocked me out for a full week. About 3 weeks later I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding and let me tell you, that wedding killed me! I was so exhausted and wiped out and some of my pneumonia systems started to come back because obviously my immune system wasn't built up yet. I was in my early 30's at the time. I am sure if Paul went back on the road full time and did night after night of 3 hour concerts, he just wouldn't be able to make it.
Having said all of that, doesn't change my disappointment. I was going to Kentucky to take my long time friend to her first Paul concert. It was on her bucket list--to see Paul in concert and I bought her a ticket because I knew how badly she wanted to go. I was more excited about seeing her at the Paul concert than anything. Now the concert has been moved to a Tuesday in October. I am a teacher and I just cannot take off and travel six hours away in October. I did that in February for the Beatles convention and I doubt I will be allowed to do it again. So now I cannot go at all. I am majorly bummed. However, I did order a ticket to see Paul in Kansas City on July 16th and I hope he doesn't cancel out again. But if he does.....he does.
So here is a cute recent photo from the set of the Appreciate video of Paul with an adorable and happy little girl.
