Footage as featured in the special edition of Living In The Material World and the George Harrison Guitar Collection app — George playing Fred Astaire’s “Shine On Your Shoes” on the ukulele.

“The main thing was he was always around the house, playing his ukulele and smiling. I’d come home from school and he’d be standing in the doorway playing his uke.” - Dhani Harrison, Los Angeles Times, November 2002 “If I began to sing a song — any song — he would accompany and encourage me. If I played three chords on the uke (compulsory instrument in our home), he would be my band.” - Olivia Harrison, Harrison (2002) “[George] had a lot of patience and he had time for people. If somebody truly wanted to know something, whether it was a guitar chord or something from the Vedas or how you prune a tree, if you were really curious, he had an endless amount of time. He actually sat with my mother and showed her how to play one chord on a ukulele so she could play along with him. He wanted everybody to have fun and join in. He was a Pisces; I think he liked the whole school going along with him.” - Olivia Harrison, Filter, Fall 2011 (x)

“George wanted most of all to be remembered as a gardener, one who 'wrote one or two good tunes. '” - Olivia Harrison.

Just thinking about Eric Idle saying Paul hugged him during the Concert for George again!

Yahoo Entertainment: Tell me about the iconic Monty Python performance at the “Concert for George” all-star tribute at Royal Albert Hall in 2002.

Eric Idle: Olivia asked me if Python would come on. … She said, “Everybody's doing a George song. Would you do ‘Piggies’?” And I said, “We don't really do songs. We're not a singing group. You know, we do idiotic and rude things! So, why don't we sing ‘Sit on My Face and Tell Me That You Love Me’?” And she let us do it, so we did it! And I thought, “He would've been so happy that we did this. This would've made him so proud.” We insisted on doing something rude, and it lightened the mood. Laughter is close to tears, and if you can laugh at those times, it's really helpful. Because the rest of it was kind of very sad — like that the end with Joe Brown singing “I'll See You in My Dreams” with the petals falling, which is the most moving thing I think I've ever been part of. I'd have to go and cry a bit. And then Paul was great; he said, “Come here, you need a hug.” Every time he'd find me crying somewhere at the back, it was: “You need a hug. And it was very lovely, very nice. X

#Eric Idle #Paul McCartney #George Harrison #Olivia Harrison #I'm pretty sure he means Paul McCartney because that's the only Paul mentioned in the article #He also tells the story here about how Yoko liked the speech he gave at Bowie's wedding and says after that you couldn't live with John #Without having a great sense of humor

There is something too lovely and important to me of when Olivia didn't know what to buy as a birthday gift to George because he already had everything so she bought pens and paper to encourage him on writing and then he wrote dark sweet lady about her

“‘He had the most distinctive voice, those funny little vowels. I always have that disconnect where I’m listening as a music lover and then I suddenly go, “Oh, oh, it’s you.”’ Her deep brown eyes — so similar to his — drift to the middle distance and there’s a beat of silence. That recognition is ‘not painful.’ Occasionally she finds herself listening to a song and it does not conjure him up just as he played it to her. “When that happens it doesn’t make me happy,” she laughs. She wants their connection to live whenever she hears his music. ‘Oh, wait, don’t ever let that become just objective, something that you don’t connect to.’ […] The Scorsese documentary, instigated by Olivia, opens with Dhani being asked what he would say to his father if he appeared now. Dhani says he saw his father in a dream and asked him ‘Where’ve you been?’ and his father replied, ‘Here the whole time.’ ‘What Dhani said was really very lovely. He had a lot of numinous dreams.’ She smiles and repeats, ‘Here the whole time.’ I ask Olivia what she would say to George now. She pauses. ‘I hope I told you everything. I hope I told you how wonderful you are.’” - article/interview by Helen Rumbelow, The Sunday Times, September 24, 2014 (x)
