    Wow, doesn't get any better. On 11/29/2001 I was boarding a plane for a long business trip and thought, damn it's my 50th B-Day. Another lousy birthday, but worse, it was announced on early morning TV news that George Harrison died. I went into a BR stall and cried. Big tough guy who was drafted and did a tour as a Army Ranger (LRRP). So, I said, screw my trip and fly off to visit my favorite person on earth. Not my loving wife of 30 years or my mom of 50 years, who had her hands full with me growing up, but to see my grandmother. She lit up like a harvest moon seeing me. It was a perfect idea, and sadly not many more to come. She died shortly thereafter at 100. George always had a special place in my heart too. I think of that day often.

    George never understood how important his voice, music, - indeed, his presence - was to those of us who got him. Sure I loved the Beatles. Yes John Lennon. But he was the secret. He was that harmony between Paul's incredible range and John's powerful voice. He was always 'the man' to me. I play guitar, and have a small reputation as an aggressive hard rock/punk guy. But George was always my hero. He's been gone (it'll be) 22 years this coming November. That's how long my heart's been broken by his passing. I hope he's still hangin 'round when I get there.

Paul replied, "how many times do four guys like that get together and you are one of them?" Well, the answer is one time.

    George's speaking voice and singing voice are like fine wines. What a gift! John and Paul undeniably had oodles of talent but George's contributions made them sound so much more refined. Give "Nowhere Man" another listen. It's kind of like how Roger Taylor's vocals made Queen sound better, even though Freddie gets all the credit.

      When George sings lines in Homeward Bound by himself, you can feel all his years of experience pouring out so beautifully. Both of these talented men --- perfectionists with tons of experience. And I couldn't help but think that when George was singing 'each town looks the same it seems, the movies and the factories' like, was he thinking of touring the States as Beatles and every town must have looked the same. I feel that's what was going through his mind.

They don't come better. Such a special fine man. Paul Simon is right there as well. So grateful for both.
