Mike, your story of the way "Four Walls" was found and recorded is the correct version, of which was recanted in Larry's book.
Just an add on to the Paul McCartney story. Paul, Linda and two of their sons first stayed in a hotel in Nashville. Once the public knew that Paul and his family were there, the place became a night mare from rabid fans clamoring just to see him. Buddy moved them into his own house simply to give security and a place to relax and tend to his music.
Interesting story.... Buddy asked Paul during his stay how he could ever manage this fame and not get mobbed and injured. Paul said the secret is to never "break stride' when going from a performance to the limo. Just smile, sign autographs and keep moving. If you ever stop, you're in a heap of trouble. Good advice for me when I become famous (LOL) stay tuned.....
