Paul McCartney and his father, James McCartney. Jim had a collection of old 78 rpm records that he would often play, or perform his musical “party-pieces”—the hits of the time—on the piano. He used to point out the different instruments in songs on the radio to his sons, and took them to local brass band concerts. Jim also taught them a basic idea of harmony between instruments, and Paul credits Jim’s tuition as being helpful when later singing harmonies with Lennon. With encouragement from Jim, Paul started playing the family piano and wrote “When I’m Sixty-Four” on it.

In 1903, Mark Twain posed for a photograph with his friend, John T. Lewis, in Elmira, New York. They met in 1877 when Lewis saved Twain’s sister-in-law and her daughter. Lewis, an Elder in the Church of the Brethren, shared many discussions with Twain and inspired the character of Jim in Huckleberry Finn. Twain, who appreciated African American culture, was comfortable in the company of African Americans. He challenged racial ideologies in his works, notably in Huckleberry Finn and Pudd’nhead Wilson. Both Twain and Lewis are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Elmira.
