I'm sure I've said this many times in other posts, but I'm in a serious mood right now and I'd like to talk about George in a serious way.

There are many reasons why I personally find George special. His deep reverence for life, e.g. gardening and love for those to whom he was closest and his receptive mind made him very distinctive. His music reflects these things; in fact, he wrote some beautiful prayers such as "Dear One" and set them to music.

At no time did George ever compromise his standards and beliefs; his values ("It's What You Value") remained intact at all times. He created the music he wanted to create and not what the then au courant fads dictated and/or demanded.

George was plainly loved very much from the beginning. I really think it was those early loving examples and interactions that planted seeds deep in George that flourished in his art.

I agree totally...I really admire that George always stands up for his beliefs....sticks to what he thinks...never let anyone change him....remains humble, unegotisitical, always funny..found himself through Hinduism...always questioned things....etc etc etc....I love George...he's truly made me so much happier and I really love him for that...

Just by looking at him you can sense he had an old soul. Even as a boy. When you see the pictures of him growing up, you can see innocense mingled with wisdom.

I marvel at his outlook on death. He handled it with such faith and dignity. I like to think I'd be that way when my time comes. To die unafraid.

He had a dry sense of humor that I liked. It cracks me up that he revealed that his first memory was him potty training. Being a young mother, I appreciated that.

His spirituality, without a doubt. Most people find it difficult to openly express their spirituality, as it is a deeply personal and individual experience. However, many of his songs were a direct expression of his deep love of all things spiritual.

His short, to the point, clean, melodic, groovy and perfectly complementary guitar solos.

I would say his belief in hinduism and the way he become a great musician over the years.
