George Harrison's cars-n-guitars

Today marks the 10th Anniversary of George Harrison's passing. At 58, he of course died much too young and it's truly amazing what he accomplished in his life-time, within and without the Fab Four.

His music will always be his primary legacy, but his love of Cars and Guitars was definitely a passion as well. I haven't been able to dig up a comprehensive list of vehicles he owned throughout his life yet. Lots of Mini Coopers, Mercedes Benz, Jags and BMW's no doubt and of course that fabulous McLaren! Wow!

Guitar-wise, we could start with the beautiful Gretsch Duo-Jet, Country Gentleman, Tennessean, Rickenbacker 360-12 string, Ramirez Classical, Gibson SG, Les Paul, J-200 and numerous Strats, Telecasters (etc,etc). Again, Wow!

He loved Formula 1 racing, was best friends with Jackie Stewart, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Dave Edmunds, Paul & Ringo, the cast of Monty Python and had a wonderful sense of humour.

Just thinking of our friend George today.

Cheers,
