I’d like to wish a posthumous Happy Birthday to the great George Harrison who was born on this date in 1943.

While this may not be considered a real “George Harrison” song, I just happened to have recorded it the other day - Penny Lane, which was first released by The Beatles as a single in 1967 and again, later the same year, on the Magical Mystery Tour album.

I was never a big Beatles fan but certainly acknowledge their enormous contribution to the world of music as well as Paul McCartney’s contribution to the world of bass. I enjoyed learning this one. Paul McCartney used, what I felt were, some interesting note choices and rhythmic phrasings. I like learning bass lines that cause me to say to myself, “Well, that’s not what I would have done at all.” Or, “I wonder how he came up with that?”

As our vacation draws to a close, we’re off for a light meal and a Blue Oyster Cult show.

I’m playing the ’76 Guild B-301.
