11/30/2001

The sun shines brightly this morning when 
I got up and out of bed at about 9:00am. 

"Good Day Sunshine"

Well, I was up earlier at 4:30 am to let the 
cat out. Then, I got online and worked on 
some articles for our Boomers website.
I went back to bed at 6:00am.  

"A Hard Day's Night"

I already heard about George Harrison on 
various sites on the Internet.

I posted a couple of messages on Yahoo 
Boomers Int'l message boards before
I went back to back at 6:00am.

"Idol Lane"

It rained on and off yesterday and I knew 
then that we would have a beautiful day 
on the ranch today, 

We usually have a great day following 
a rainy day. As it is today, a clear 
blue skies and clean crisp air with a  
view and miles and miles of scenery.
The hills, the snow covered mountains, 
green meadows, acres of vineyards, and 
barren brown fields. 

After a cup of steaming hot coffee, I 
settled down to a local newspaper 
and various news on TV.

After that I logged on to AOL again.

There was a big pictorial tribute 
about George and The Beatles on AOL. 





"Abbey Road"

My mind kept wondering back to the Beatles, 
and George Harrison and his life.

I started to download photos from 
BBC, AOL and Yahoo web sites just 
couldn't have enough of them now....

"Eight Days A Week"

This afternoon, I searched for and found 
The Beatle's book, The Beatles - 
A Private View by Robert Freeman.   

I bought the book in 1992. It was 
published in USA in 1990.

I thumb through the book, reminisced 
about the time I spent in London around
in mid 60's and the time I was dating 
in Bangkok, Thailand in early 70's.
Most the songs we listened to at most 
of the parties we went to then were
The Beatles'. 

"Help!"

On page 73 of The Beatles book:

'What do you consider the most important 
thing in life?'

George: 'Love'

"Love Me Do"

Before I went to London, I discovered 
The Beatles on our high school's trips
to the movie theatre.
(I believed it was Ben-Hur or The Ten 
Commandments?  Well, I remembered vaguely 
that Charleston Heston was in the movie)

The bonus movie trail was a documentary
film about The Beatles' tours in the USA 
and on Ed Sullivan's show. (?February 1964)

We never heard of those 4 long hair chaps
with sweet melodic tune of songs from 
England, but after we saw and heard them
with our own eyes ......






"She Loves You"

They got us wrapped around their 
fingers!!!

That was my first love-in experience 
with the Bealtes and all through the 
60's and 70's there were many, many, 
many more, songs.. and then the
rest, well it is history ... 
London, Carnaby Street, 
King Street, The Mods and 
The Rockers..... Soho, Talfalgar
Sqare... Kensington Garden..
San Francisco, Medison Square..


"Something"

Pardon my diatribes..
I was in London in the middle of
The Beatlesmania from 1964 to
1966.  My personal mania with 
the Beatles didn't end after 
I left London to go back to 
Bangkok, Thailand in the midst
of Vietnam War era.... 

"I Want To Hold Your Hands"

I am going to gather the Beatles
albums around the house here and 
continue to reflect and think 
back about all the songs and
the sweet memories that they
evoked.

I am beginning to realize again 
how they have instilled and impacted
my life and millions other lives all 
over the world citizens, Boomers, 
GenXers, and even GenYers.

A headline news on the Internet 
mentioned that it is the end of 
an era.

The End Of An Era? The Beatles, 
a part of the musical and cultural 
revolutions in the 60's.

Georeg Harrison is the quiet one. 
The headlines said.. We will miss 
him and his music will be with us
forever. May be he was the quiet
one but his music and his talents
were not to be forgotten...

Here Comes The Sun

A sad day indeed. 

Sergent Lonely Hearts Club Band

Goerge Harrison, John Lennon and 
The Bealtes have given us so much pleasure at 
the time of our life.

Imagine

Imagine Peace ON EARTH during very moment
in time!!!

All through the day today people are 
gathering at Strawberry Fields in New York.  
They left flowers and candles on The Beatles' 
Stars on the Walk of Stars in Hollywood.
There was a big tribute in Liverpool and 
I am sure there are many other gatherings
around the world in memorial of George
Harrison.

So Sad

All through the day and into the late of 
night.... Throngs of stars, musicians,
song writers, critics, fans and an
interview by Larry King of George
Harrison's sister who lives in Illinois.
 
My Sweet Lord 

Another day, another chapter 
of our lives.....
 
Let It Be

We love you George!
 
While My Guitar Gently Weeps

We will always love you!
 
"All Things Must Pass"





Appropriately, it is a Blue Moon 
night tonight.

Peace, Love and Light,
Jeri
