Great story Ilan. So nice to hear when one's music heros turn out to be good folks. Just hanging around having a legend show you his toys..... man it really doesn't get much better than that on the 'cool-meter'. Thanks to Paul for doin it and thanks to you Ilan for sharing.

Here's a link to the full interview. For some reason unknown to me, the video link works only in IE but not Firefox.

It's long - 19:00 minutes: about 12:30 min is the interview (in English with hebrew subtitles), and the rest is Hebrew narration pieces. (By the way, I'm the guy with the long hair.)

I can't get any audio or video from the link
Can't you post it for us in video format, Ilan?

Very impressive, Ilan! It must have been a great experience. But did you ask him about the 4001S?

[ilan]

Kira: are you using Firefox? Try IE, should work. I will try to upload it to YouTube later.

But did you ask him about the 4001S?

I did, off-camera. He said he's not using it but he still has it.

Thanks, Gil, and nice job, Ilan

Marvelous, just marvelous!
Thank you, Ilan!

Cool of you to post the youtube videos, Gil.

I heard that he liked to take the tube to work, even during Abbey Road times, but after what happened to John I'm surprised that he still does it. I'm betting his large blond companion always takes the seat right behind his on these forays.

I know John's death concerns him, but he also realizes that he can't constantly live his life in fear.

[teeder]

Wow, it doesn't get any better than that!
Congrats and thanks for sharing, Ilan!

I'm Arts and Entertainment reporter for Israel Channel 2 News. McCartney is playing a concert in Tel Aviv on Sept. 25.

Ilan,

I must thank you again. The interview was great. I really enjoyed the presentation too.
