What started off with a celebration of &#8220;12 Days of LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas&#8221; shifted over to a &#8220;12 Days \u2019til LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas&#8221; theme.<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in a semi-agnostic environment, I was under the impression that the traditional celebration of the &#8220;12 Days of Christmas&#8221; started 12 days before, and came to a climax, so to speak, on Christmas Day.  As I recently discovered, thanks to that Google-search-thing, this was NOT the case.   <\/p>\n<p>My world views changed&#8230; once again. <em>(yes, I do that sort of thing&#8230;)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>With my new revelations, I chose to reframe this theme, as I have NO interest in alienating any of my Christian friends with my ignorance of traditional celebrations of the &#8220;12 Days of Christmas.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As fate would have it, one of my longtime all-time favorite living musicians, was also tweaking the &#8220;12 Days of Christmas&#8221; paradigm.<\/p>\n<p>The legendary <strong>Paul McCartney<\/strong> came up with a &#8220;12 Days of Paul&#8221; theme which started out over a week ago to celebrate the special unveiling of his third solo album &#8211; McCartney III, which is being released TODAY &#8211; Friday, December 18<\/p>\n<p>Paul came up with a brilliant idea to celebrate his new music.  He freely shared sheet music for his new songs, and encouraged other musicians to perform cover versions of then-unreleased songs from this brand new album, using the hashtag of #12daysofpaul.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these are really good &#8211; check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/12daysofpaul\">these YouTube clips<\/a>!!<\/p>\n<p>love ya, Paul!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Macca_III.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12093\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Macca_III.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Macca_III-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Macca_III-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.louielouie.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Macca_III-400x400.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/12days.mccartneyiii.com\">http:\/\/12days.mccartneyiii.com<\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/12daysofpaul\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/hashtag\/12daysofpaul<\/a><br \/>\n_________<\/p>\n<p>To date, we have not yet seen any evidence of any partridges, pear trees, turtle doves, French hens or calling birds connected to any LOUIE recordings&#8230;. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s the 5th day of the 12 days &#8217;til LOUIE LOUIE 2020 Christmas, and someone gave to me..
