I would like to tell you about the days before the Beatles were well-known.

They had a small group of Liverpool fans who used to queue outside the Cavern from 8 a.m. until 12 noon for the Lunch-hour session. Most of them used to take days off school or college and tried to copy their mothers’ handwriting in a note for the teacher. On Sundays queuing commenced from about 2 p.m. until 7.30 p.m. As the Beatles became more popular queuing went on all through Saturday night and all Sunday until 7.30 p.m. Ray McFall would bring a crate of milk down in between four and five and sit in his car with the radio on for us to listen to the top ten.

We used to queue in the freezing cold and tell stories about the Beatles, wrapped in blankets and sipping hot coffee. Everyone knew everyone and if girls came who had only just heard of the Beatles, well all us ‘scouters’ made them welcome.

While we were waiting for the Cavern to open we would ask some girls to save our places and we would go to the Kardoma Cafe (K.D.) and then for a stroll round town and sometimes we would meet a Beatle and stop for a talk, then go back to the Cavern.

It was gear in those days, but it was sheer agony when the lads went to Hamburg. Everyone walked round with long faces. The Cavern looked lonely when we passed with no people queuing. Sometimes the lonely Beatle fans would meet at a lunch-time session to cheer themselves up by talking about the lads. It was nothing short of chaos when their welcome home performance was on at the Cavern. Girls fainted and there was hardly any screaming and no one was hysterical. At least you could hear the Beatles singing and joking.

Those were the days. Sometimes I wish we could relive them, but I suppose the Beatles wouldn’t. Well, good luck in the future, Lads.

Anyone else think Billy Crudup based his character Russell Hammond in Almost Famous on Mr G Harrison???

Olivia Harrison wrote a book of poems for George

From the announcement:

"'Time – we take no notice of it but for its loss'. I wanted to stop time on the day George died so that I wouldn’t ever have to look back. Yet here I am, twenty years and twenty poems later, one for each year I suppose. I didn’t plan it that way but here they are: thoughts, feelings and words about life and death but mostly love and our journey to the end." – Olivia Harrison

'Here on the shore, twenty years later, my message in a bottle has reached dry land. Words about our life, his death but mostly love and our journey to the end.' – Olivia Harrison 

"Olivia Harrison presents Came the Lightening, a book of twenty poems dedicated to George, marking the twentieth year since his passing. 

As a contributor to the book Concert for George, the revised edition of I Me Mine, and George Harrison: Living in the Material World, Olivia is no stranger to writing beautiful words that have an ethereal connection to love. 

These poems are accompanied by a selection of photographs and mementos curated by Olivia, including pictures of herself and George. 

Came the Lightening sees Olivia reflect upon her life with George, examining the intimacy of the emotional bond in their relationship through a memorable series of poems. She delves into the phenomenon of losing a partner and the passage of time.

In essence, this is a story of love."

'Olivia evokes the most fleeting gestures and instants, plucked from the flow of time and memory and felt through her choice of words and the overall rhythm… She might have done an oral history or a memoir. Instead, she composed a work of poetic autobiography.' – Martin Scorsese

It's to be released 21 June 2022 and is available for pre-order. [x]

George Harrison with his Aston Martin DB5, photographed at Kinfauns in 1965 by Henry Grossman.

“I like this [color] picture a lot. There’s a strength to George, and someone told me recently that his son [Dhani] saw that picture and started crying. And I suspect that it’s mainly because there’s a certain strength and posture and stature in this picture of George. It’s not a picture of the car.” - Henry Grossman, CBS 60 Minutes Overtime, 2013

“In 1974, Grossman says, he and Harrison reunited ‘like brothers’ at a photo shoot, and he signed on to work as an official photographer for Harrison’s solo tour [the Dark Horse Tour] that year. Since George’s death, Olivia Harrison has come by to have coffee with Grossman and look at photos of her late husband. ‘We’re in touch,’ he says. ‘I speak with her every once in a while.’” - Brandeis Magazine, Spring 2013 (x)
