George 's musical connection.

[Legs]

I thought to combine a game with some facts about George's music.Instruments he used, people he played with, songs etc.
The way it works is someone gives a vague description of something or someone, you have to find out what or who it is, and how it is conected to George.

Easy example not to be used afterwards: Slowhand.
Answer, Eric Clapton played on George's song "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". The person with the right answer post a new description. I start.

Dutch Guitar

[Hari's Chick]

Dutch guitar...George's first was a Dutch guitar, and Egmond, bought by his Dad for 3.5 pounds, sold at auction last year for more than 276,000!

'A bit depressing, actually' George refered to this as. It partially is influenced by wild life in L.A. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

So, who checks if the answer is right?

Cool start about the Dutch guitar

This one might be to dificult. Sorry to disapoint FPSHOT but can you lead us into a direction, is it about a person, a recording session, album ? I like to see this continue.

[FPSHOT]

Oh sorry folks http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif

a small insect which can fly, often therefore called a fly

Then I was looking for the name of the song where that lyric comes from, but you will see that yourself.

[Legs]

Now you're making it to easy http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I should have known it before, but with this nice warm weather my brain and the rest of me are a bit slow.

The anser would be "See Yourself", be back with a new description later.

[Legs]

Let's try toilet instrument: I am looking for the instrument, the man who playes it and the story behind it.
Hope it doesn't turn out to be to dificult, but with the right source there should be no problem getting the answers.

[FPSHOT]

I've looked around in many toilets, but so far have not found an instrument.

[Legs]

Just a little tip, Simon Leng page 187.

[FPSHOT]

That's a book, not a toilet http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif but a more decent reference http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Soprano Sex, oops Sax http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

the man who plays it is Jim Horn ("that is really his name", as George would say) there are many stories behind the horn.. but since you were so nice to move from toilet to book, I know it and it's a nice story to read again

Jim said - George made you feel at home in his home, and I'd see him at breakfast, discuss the day's news, have tea in the garden and go up to his studio whenever we felt like working. He once had me sit on the toilet and play my soprano sax, and they miked it at the end of the hall for a distant sound and I thought they were kidding - we all had a good laugh on that one. Another time he stopped me in the middle of a sax solo and brought my 3pm tea - again I thought he was kidding http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

That's the story.

Oh I wish I had a story like that... amazing. Well I can take my guitar, play on the toilet and imagine I am being recorded at 'me' http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I will pick up the next one.

[FPSHOT]

I am looking for a musician who played on George's solo albums and is best known for singing a song of which the tittle is about not looking at your best.

[sourmilkpinky]

time for another clue maybe?

[FPSHOT]

Pale

[Legs]

Still thinking about it, is it Pale as the football player or Pale in the sense of A Whiter Shade of Pale?
In the meanwhile I'll post an easy one, Since I posted this topic I am the only one who can do this.

I am looking for a singer, you can call him by another name.
Perhaps not so easy, but when I told that name everyone would know.

[/ QUOTE ]

I actually thought this was "See Yourself" because of the reference to it being easier to kill a fly.

[Legs]

What about the singer, you can call him All.
That's the only hint I am going to give, still working on FPSHOT's question.

[FPSHOT]

Sorry, my mistery man was Gary Brooker "A Whiter Shade Of Pale"

I got as far as "A Whiter Shade Of Pale" but then got stuck on the people involved making and performing the song. Yeah shame on me, I know.

[Paolo Meccano]

I was going to step in with Gary Brooker but I thought you had it, Legs - is yours Paul Simon?

I should have. Yes mine is Paul Simon, thank god you got it, I had a nightmare of posting a picture of Paul Simon and still nobody knew the answer.

[Paolo Meccano]

http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif I've just bought Bill Harry's 'George Harrison Encyclopedia' so I'll go away and have a little read and come back with my question... http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Paolo Meccano]

Here's my puzzler...

Everyone here knows her. Everyone here knows that George knew her - but not many know that George recorded with her and even fewer had heard any of the results until last year...

[FPSHOT]

Art Garfunkel was a simple one http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

The next one.... the lady... Sam Brown? http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Paolo Meccano]

No, it's not Sam Brown - but you're on the right sort of lines with the surname... http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Vicki Brown, but if that's true, the boxset including "Shanghai Surprise" came out this year, not last year.

[FPSHOT]

But the Harrifans knew about Vicky and George working together long before... haven't we?

But ... I would agree she is not as 'automatic' as .... Jeff ... or Gary Wright .... or Eric

[Paolo Meccano]

No, it's not Vicki Brown... While you're currently in the dark about the answer, it may give you a clue to the correct surname...

[Hari's Chick]

I know! It's Cilla Black...who released last year a re-recording of "I'll Still Love You" (as a bonus track on a box set). She rerecorded it in 1975 because the original she made with George (early 70's) was lost.

Yes? Yes?

[Legs]

I say yes, but shall we wait for Paolo?
Start preparing your question anyway HC.

[Paolo Meccano]

Yes, that's who I was thinking of (Black - Brown? Dark??) though I was under the impression that she and George first attempted to record the song in 1972, finished it 10 years later, then last year it was finally released on the box-set. Well done any though, Hari's Chick! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup2.gif
