This image made available by Hard Rock International Friday, May 10, 2013, shows a telegram addressed to Paul McCartney and the reply. Fans of the late trumpet and guitar masters have long known that Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix had been making plans to record together in the year before Hendrix's sudden death in 1970. But less attention has been paid to the bass player they were trying to recruit: Paul McCartney, who was busy with another band at the time. This tantalizing detail about the super group that never was — jazz standout Tony Williams would have been on drums — is contained in an oft-overlooked telegram that Hendrix sent to McCartney at The Beatles' Apple Records in London on Oct. 21, 1969. "We are recording and LP together this weekend," it says, complete with a typographical error. "How about coming in to play bass stop call Alan Douglas 212-5812212. Peace Jimi Hendrix Miles Davis Tony Williams." The telegram, advising McCartney to contact producer Douglas if he could make the session, has been part of the Hard Rock Cafe memorabilia collection since it was purchased at auction in 1995. Still it has only generated attention in recent months with the successful release of "People, Hell & Angels," expected to be the last CD of Hendrix's studio recordings. (AP Photo/Hard Rock Cafe)

Onetime Beatle Paul McCartney paid to restore this 1877 Steinway grand piano used by Motown artists that is now part of the collection at the Motown Museum in Detroit. He came upon it when he toured the museum in 2011. It couldn’t be played at the time because of its deteriorated condition. He’ll get to play it now. (Detroit News via Associated Press)
