Notes: On July 17th Wings arrived back in England after seven weeks of rehearsing and recording in Nashville, Tennesse. The
McCartneys had rented a 133 acre ranch near Lebanon from songwriter Curley Putman, who wrote "Green Green Grass of Home". Most
of their stay was spent rehearsing Wings and jamming with local musicians, including Chet Atkins, country pianist Floyd
Crammer, fiddle player Vassar Clements, banjo player Bobby Thompson, and the Cate Sisters. Among the tracks recorded was a song
called "Eloise", written by Paul`s father twenty years ago. Also recorded was a "country flavoured" song called "Sally G",
written by Paul after visiting a country music club in Printers Alley. He was impressed not only with Nashville, but with the
musicians and the "Sound Shop" studios where he worked, usually from 6 p.m. to midnight.

Home movie shot on Super 8mm by a kid named Gil Gillam, who Paul and Linda let in the studio to hang with them for the day.
Paul, Linda and Wings were recording "Junior`s Farm" and "Sally G" at the time.
