"I’m in a hotel room [in London] with Carl [Perkins], George Harrison and his wife walk into the hotel room. And George walks up to me and says, ‘Hello, Bernie, I’m George.’ And all I could do was go (mimes shaking hands), ‘I know.’ I mean, I couldn’t believe this was happening because it was just ridiculous. He goes, ‘I understand you made a guitar for me.’ I go, ‘Yes, check it out.’ It was this guitar right here [in the picture]… And he played, and he goes, ‘This is really, really neat, I really like this. Would you be interested in letting me buy this?’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’" — Bernie Hamburger, Frye Studios 2 YouTube channel

The backing vocals in the third verse of This Is Love make me so happy, I look forward to them whenever the song comes on. Are there any little quirks from George's later catalogue (80s onwards) that you love to hear?

That's all I wanted to say really.

I always thought they said something like "dharma dharma dharma", but genius just has them as some kind of "da-bum buh-dum" type thing. idk

Cloud nine

The title track of that album came up randomly on my Spotify feed, and I ended up rediscovering the whole album. What a lovely piece of work - I was utterly transported.

I found The Holy Grail records

After looking for it for months, I was finally able to find a UK first press of this masterpiece of an album. With the poster and all inner sleves and the records almost unplayed. I literally wanted to cry when I held it in my hands. And I had to make an unboxing reaction video ofc:

I am just starting my collection but this one was going to be played for years to come

Who else writes such a beautiful adoring and love song (not romantic) to their loyal fans and admirers this way? No one, just George 🌬️

he is surely one of the best 🌬️🎼🌠🌌⭐️🏰🪟🌲🎵🌹✌️

ps. meant to type “type of love song” in the title and not “and love song” but can’t change in the title now for some reason ;) cheers!
