    "You look like a Paul that used to play in a good band around here". And the downplayed response is"Yeah,that would be me". Thank you,mr.westerberg.

      "...good band around here..." is quite the understatement. Like calling Dylan a "good local singer from around here".

      Yeah, sounds like the guy purposefully understated it so as to not scare away Paul. BTW, is the pronunciation ”yah” a Scandinavian influence?
