LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-FEB 25, 2019…THE ONE TIME MEMBER OF THE BEATLES WOULD HAVE BEEN 76 TODAY. HARRISON WAS NOT ONLY A ONE TIME MEMBER OF THE FAB 4, BUT WHEN THE GROUP BROKE UP, ENJOYED PHENOMENAL SUCCESS AS A SOLO ARTIST. IN 1970, ‘MY SWEET LORD’ WAS A NUMBER ONE HIT WORLDWIDE, AND IN 1971 HIS SOLO ALBUM ‘ALL THINGS MUST PASS’ WAS THE NUMBER ONE ALBUM IN AMERICA. HE WAS ALSO A MEMBER OF THE TRAVELLING WILBURYS WITH TOM PETTY AND BOB DYLAN. HARRISON DIED OF CANCER ON NOVEMBER 29, 2001.
AND, HERE’S THE DEFINITION OF IRONY. ON THIS DATE IN 2015, TO COMMEMORATE HARRISON’S BIRTHDAY, A NEW TREE WAS PLANTED IN HIS MEMORY IN GRIFFITH PARK IN LOS ANGELES. IT WAS PLANTED TO REPLACE THE OTHER COMMEMORATIVE TREE THAT WAS KILLED BY AN INFESTATION OF BEETLES !!! WTF ! THE NEW REPLACEMENT TREE IS A YEW TREE, AND WAS PICKED AS IT’S FAR LESS SUSCEPTIBLE TO INSECTS.
GEORGE HARRISON WAS BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1943. HERE’S SOME SOLO HARRISON AND “WHAT IS LIFE”
