      It's hard to believe, but it was seven years ago today ( November 29th, 2001) that we lost George.

      Every single second of our lives We can use to chase the clouds away

        George's spirit is alive and well forever. But yes, I still remember that sad, cold ,cloudy back in 2001 . I remember knowing George had been ill for a couple of years prior, but when he passed on, it hit me hard- harder than I thought it would. I think there should be something for George like "strawberry fields" in NYC for John. A calm, beautiful garden with lots of flowers with Indian music, and ukeleles playing gently from speakers in big lush trees.

          The Beatles went from their 'Love Me Do' single to their 'Abbey Road' album in a similar time span. The world and time itself seem to have sped up....or is it just that I'm getting older? Those seven years have certainly slipped away very quickly.

          Wembley Empire Pool, London  (Wings) 21st October 1976.

          'Take It Away' video shoot Elstree studios, London 23rd June 1982.

          'Give My Regards To Broad Street' film premier, London 29th November 1984.

          Docklands Arena rehearsal concert, London 5th February 1993.

          Run Devil Run launch party, Equinox Club, London 30th September 1999.

            Was about to post a tribute to George myself Liz, thank you for doing so. Indeed, seven years ago today... my how the time just flies... each day just goes so fast. I am so glad that George Harrison was one of The Beatles. He was a very special person who will never be forgotten. Once, I was able to be just a few metres from the man... but I wasn't able to shake his hand and thank him for all the wonderful words and music he gave to all of us.

              Wow - is that Jeff Lynne in the car as well? Either way, that's pretty cool - thanks for posting the pic. As far as George, yes his brilliance was overshadowed by the Lennon/McCartney writing partnership and I'm just glad his talent has since gained the reputation it deserves. Whether it's from before or after the Beatles split, George has created songs that are as universally recognized around the globe as much as any John or Paul song (something, Here Comes The Sun, My Sweet Lord, etc)...one of my favorites from George is Isn't It A Pity...Great tune.

                  As strong as my attraction both musically and physically was for John and Paul, I can't discount my absolute amazement at the incredible depth and beauty of George's songs. I mean John and Paul were cranking them out, but then George would come out with this incredible masterpiece like "SOMETHING" and absolutely knock my socks off!! I remember hearing HERE COMES THE SUN and being just blown away and I can honestly say to this day I feel the same when I hear it. It is one of my very favorite Beatle songs and I play and sing it often. I didn't care for his Indian influenced songs back then, I guess I felt they were sort of anti- Beatle and they turned me off, but it didn't take long before I was falling in love with many of his songs again like MY SWEET LORD, FOR YOU BLUE, etc. etc. No doubt about it, he was one of a kind and is sorely missed....RIP George

                          Oh, I'm shocked too that it is seven years His spirit is indeed still alive and will live on in our hearts and memories forever, I remember that sad day all too well. I love George's music, his was exceptionally talented and a lovely man. Will always miss you George.

                            Yes Rich, that is Jeff Lynne. One of these days I will transfer the 1987 Rockline interview I have on cassette (they had just finished the interview when I snapped that), and post it. It is pretty wild.

                            Thank you Liz. I began listening to "Here Comes The Sun" and just got a little emotional whilst remembering George.

                            Appreciate that very much Claudia, thanks. I just had a stupid cold like 3 weeks ago and here we are once again. I use to get around much more than these days, but I'm not half the man I used to be anymore. Great piccie of George Fi! From HELP! whilst playing John's guitar during "Another Girl." I love that... thanks for posting it!

                                      Right now I am watching a special on PBS Telelvision about The Smothers Brothers and they just showed a short clip of George from 1968. I just found it on YouTube...

I was probably so smitten with Paul.....I couldn't see the forest for the trees nellie apple: that's an incredibly handsome shot of George....probably the best I've ever seen. Funny, I use to go out with a guy that looked just like him in that picture. Check out that gold hoop earring in his right ear....pretty cool huh?
