( CNN ) -- I 'd been to the club several times before . I love to come to New York and any time I got a chance , when Les Paul was still alive , I would always try to schedule to see him play . It was a thrilling night . I had brought my Rock and Roll Hall of Fame program for Les Paul to sign ; the bonus of having Sir Paul there too was incredible . He seemed very , very cordial . Now he was having a good time , too -- because that was in the early stages of his relationship with the lady we do n't even mention any more . At one point , Sir Paul got up on stage with Les Paul and started clowning around with him , saying how much the Beatles loved him and stole his songs but had never been able to give him any credit . So he got a one-dollar bill and handed it to Les , who was just beaming . I approached him after the performance to have my book signed and take a photo . There were only about sixty people in the club , it 's a very small room , so Sir Paul gave everyone at the Les Paul performance a very special experience . CNN iReport : See more of your encounters with music icons . He looked every person in the eye ; you could see the electricity coming from his eyes to theirs and he was just so gracious . I think he really enjoys being one of the normal people , and not being on a pillar . I had met him once before after a concert , very , very briefly , but this was something special . I 've been a huge Beatles fan from day one , when I was ten years old and watched the Ed Sullivan Show , the television program that introduced the Beatles to the United States . I 'm a musician myself , I play bass guitar with a little band in Atlanta , where I live . We love making music and that was inspired by Sir Paul .
Music fan Beatle met guitar legend Beatle and former Les Paul Sir Paul McCartney . McCartney was performing at the Iridium jazz club in New York and McCartney joined him on stage . After the performance , Beatle signed autographs and talked with members of the audience .
