Related: About this forumPaul McCartney jams with local band at Winter Park gig
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/entertainment/os-paul-mccartney-at-winter-park-20150511-story.htmlA routine graduation gig in Winter Park turned into the jam of a lifetime for Josh Walther & The Phase5 Band on Saturday when the bandleader turned over the microphone to a very special party guest: Sir Paul McCartney.
Video footage above captures McCartney and Walther singing "I Saw Her Standing There," a hit from Sir Paul's early days with The Beatles. The concert took place May 9 at the Interlachen Country Club during a private party for the graduation of McCartney's stepson Arlen Shevell.
McCartney's wife Nancy Shevell booked the gig with Walther's Tampa-based band approximately a year in advance, but the singer knew nothing about her high-profile husband until Shevell called two weeks prior to the party.
"She was asking a lot about sound equipment - different brands and specifics," recalled Walther. "I said, 'You seem to know a lot about sound,' and she said, 'Well, yeah'. Somehow through that conversation, she casually mentioned that she was Paul's wife ... I don't think any of us thought about it too much. We just thought it was another gig, and it would be cool if we saw him or got a picture. We were excited, but we had no idea it would turn into what it did."
