“If you don’t know where you’re going, any road’ll take you there” ― George Harrison

Before He Was Fab: George Harrison’s First American Visit

While I was sorting thru items as to what to take to the used book store to exchange for credits on new book—Yes my dears I still read books—old fashion but it does tend to energize the brain—try it some time you might actually like it!!!!!!!!!!

But regardless I was also trying to come up with a subject that might interest at least some of you and give you new places to get you off the net and onto real life and real soil upon which to walk.

And I  found the above book on someone that has long been gone but by many of us not forgotten….

Filming: A Hard Day’s Night

Beatle George Harrison commenting about his first visit to the United States:

“I’ve wanted to go there for years, but I could never afford it before.  Also, this may be my last chance for awhile, ’cause it may be ages before the Beatles can get two weeks free again.

George Harrison Commemorative Mural

The “George Comes to Benton – 1963” mural is an one-of-a-kind piece of art created by California artist John Cerney. Beatles fans from across the country who traveled Interstate 57 through southern Illinois on their way to and from the total solar eclipse of 2017 had a chance to see the original work the week of its construction. Now a tourism site, Cerney and the City of Benton, published a postcard of the picturesque attraction which gives a brief description of how the project unfolded.

His two weeks there, starting on September 16, might have been the last carefree moments of an increasingly hectic, difficult and arguably tragic life. In America, no one knew who George was or cared. He was just Louise Caldwell’s skinny little brother, a 20-year-old with a weird haircut, who said he played the guitar and sang a little, and was gaga for American cars, especially ones with tail fins.

Probably his most exciting time in America is purchasing a 425 Rickenbacker guitar at Fenton Music Shop in nearby Mt. Vernon, Illinois. Local musicians Gabe McCarty and Vern Mandrel accompanied the Beatle to the shop to find the guitar was originally sunburst orange. George had it painted black before the purchase to look like John’s guitar back in England.

The Beatles – Here Comes The Sun (2019 Mix)

Help! was shot in London, Salisbury Plain, the Austrian AlpsNew Providence Island and Paradise Island in the Bahamas, and Twickenham Film Studios, beginning in the Bahamas on 23 February 1965. Starr commented in The Beatles Anthology that they were in the Bahamas for the hot weather scenes, and therefore had to wear light clothing even though it was rather cold. Tony Bramwell, the assistant to Beatles manager Brian Epstein, stated in his book A Magical Mystery Tour that Epstein chose the Bahamas for tax reasons. According to The Beatles Anthology, during the restaurant sequence filmed in early April, Harrison began to discover Indian-style music, which would be a key element in future songs such as “Norwegian Wood“. Filming finished on 14 April at Ailsa Avenue in Twickenham.[citation needed]

The ski scenes were shot at Obertauern, a small village in Austria. One reason this location was chosen was that the stars of the film were less likely to be recognised there than at one of the larger resorts with many British tourists. The Beatles were in Obertauern for about two weeks in March 1965 along with a film crew of around 60 people. Locals served as ski stunt doubles for the Beatles, who stayed at the hotel “Edelweiss”. Most of the crew were based in the hotel Marieta, where one night the Beatles gave an impromptu concert on the occasion of a director’s assistant’s birthday. This was the only time they ever played on stage in Austria.[5]

Located in WavertreeLiverpool, near Picton Clock Tower, it is a small terraced house in a cul-de-sac, with a small alley to the rear.[1] Harrison’s parents, Harold and Louise, moved to the house in 1931 following their marriage.[2] The rent was ten shillings a week.[3] Here their four children were born: Louise (16 August 1931), Harry (1934), Peter (20 July 1940 – 1 June 2007) and George (25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001).

Friar Park is a Victorian neo-Gothic mansion in Henley-on-Thames, England, built in 1889. It was originally owned by eccentric lawyer Sir Frank Crisp and purchased in January 1970 by English rock musician and former Beatle George Harrison.[1] The site covers about 62 acres (25 hectares).[2][3] Features include caves, grottoes, underground passages, a multitude of garden gnomes, and an Alpine rock garden with a scale model of the Matterhorn.[4] Though rumour and tabloid reports often claim the building has 120 rooms, this was denied by the current owner, Olivia Harrison, while speaking to NPR Fresh Air in March 2004, at which time she clarified the number was somewhere around 30.[5]

If Not For You (Remastered 2014)

George has left us long ago and he was cremated and his ashes spread on various waters so there is no final resting place and a tree (possibly 2?) that was to be a memorial in California was killed by beetles (not Beatles)—-there was other talk of doing a memorial but nothing has ever came of it that I could locate—so the places I have listed all over the globe will have to do I guess.
