I never met him, but a friend of a friend of mine was a recording engineer on the Wings song "Junior's Farm". Here's a little bit of trivial. "Junior's Farm" was recorded in Nashville, TN. "Junior" was a record executive in the Nashville area, and owned a small ranch near the small town of Mt Juliet, just east of Nashville. The song has a lot of references to things that happened while McCartney and his entourage wre visiting the farm.
One amusing story relates to the line "We all chipped in for a bag of cement".
One Sunday afternoon, Paul and several members of the band were relaxing on the farm, while the farm hand was setting a corner post on a fence. Setting a corner post on a fence requires that the bottom of the post be encased in concrete. Most people use a product known as "Quik-Crete" which has the gravel, sand and cement in 150 pound bags. Just add water, stir and pour. A bag of Quik-Crete in 1974 cost about 50 cents. Back then, atm machines were not common yet, and since the banks were closed for Sunday, and no-one had their checkbooks with them. So all the wealthy musicians, and record execs, ended up chipping in their pocket change to pay for a bag of Quik-Crete so the the farm hand could run to the farm-supply store (which was open on Sundays ) to buy the bag and finish his project.

Sir James Paul McCartney MBE (born June 18, 1942) is a Grammy Award-winning English singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who first gained worldwide fame as one of the founding members of the Beatles. McCartney and John Lennon formed 'one of the most influential' and successful songwriting partnerships and 'wrote some of the most popular music in rock music history'.[1] Following his departure from the Beatles, McCartney launched a successful solo career and formed the band Wings with his wife, Linda McCartney. McCartney has also worked on film scores, classical music, and ambient/electronic music. He has released a large catalogue of songs as a solo artist, and has taken part in projects to assist international charities.
McCartney is listed in The Guinness World Records as the most successful musician and composer in popular music history, with 60 gold discs and sales of 100 million singles.[2] McCartney's song "Yesterday" is listed as the most covered song in history and has been played more than 7,000,000 times on American TV and radio.[3] Wings' 1977 single "Mull of Kintyre" became the first single to sell more than two million copies in the UK, and remained the UK's top seller until surpassed, in 1984, by Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?"
McCartney's company MPL Communications owns the copyrights to more than three thousand songs, including all of the songs written by Buddy Holly, along with the publishing rights to musicals such as Guys and Dolls, A Chorus Line, and Grease. Aside from his musical work, McCartney is a painter, an advocate for animal rights, vegetarianism, and music education, and is active in campaigns against landmines, seal culls and Third World debt. McCartney was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in 1965, and was knighted in 1997.
