PAUL McCARTNEY, THE BIOGRAPHY
Philip Norman
Malpaso Editions | 2018
The new biography of Sir Paul McCartney brings together in its almost 800 pages a good number of references and musical and personal curiosities, in a meticulous and extensive research work with first-hand access to the people who knew him best: his family and his friends. Although there was some enmity with Paul McCartney from behind, Philip Norman has obtained his approval to write the first authorized biography of the musician. From a child and the pre-Beatles stage to his best-known musical side or later with the Wings, going through their marriages, troubles with justice and endless anecdotes that complement that book that years ago he also dedicated to John Lennon. Essential to know everything about Liverpool.

There are few instruments with a warmer sound than the ukulele. Any song takes a close and friendly tone with it in your hands and turns it into something exciting, so get rid of your laziness to learn to play it. Save King (member of the band The Pinker Tones and author of other children's books) It proposes you to get into the ukulele in an enjoyable and effective way under the idea of the Suzuki method: first we learn to speak, then read and write. In the same way the author suggests you play with your new instrument, play and have fun to train yourself. And he also does it thinking about the little ones in the house to whom he dedicates part of this small and enjoyable book that is presented with a beautiful cover of Hawaiian motifs..
