"Выступление" - сильно сказано!

Ну, формально, это было выступление, у меня где-то даже записано какие именно песни он исполнил. Прочти эту книжку, там наверняка все подробно

Нам пишут из-за рубежа:
I just heard on the radio that in September of 1963, before the Beatles hit it big in America, George was visiting his sister in a small town in Illinois. They went out to see a local band, and when they found out that George was a musician from England, they invitied him up to jam, not knowing anything about the Beatles. George jammed with the local band on "Green Onions" and "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby". I wonder if he enjoyed playing that song so much that it had an influence on him as far as doing it with the Beatles. As far as anyone knows, this is the first time a Beatle performed in front of an american audience. Pretty cool.

The Benton benefit has been cancelled. Here's a note we received from Louise Harrison:

Hello! to my global family of Beatle people!



It is with regret that I have been forced to cancel the planned benefit concert, which was to have celebrated the 40th Anniversary of my brother's first trip to the United States. Those of you who have known and met me, (and probably hugged me) know that I have always been honest and forthright with all of you. You know that I have boundless positive energy and enthusiasm for the task which has become my life's work. You also know that I truly love you all, as my global family members. That is why I shall just go ahead - without going into detail - and let you know why I have had to cancel, what would have been a beneficial and FUN event.

Let me explain by using an example you can all understand: A simple matter of positive versus negative. Recently, most people on our planet - the positive forces- were against creating yet another war, however the 'powers in control' - the negative forces - decided otherwise. In the case of this benefit concert, again, all the positive forces believed it was a valid and good idea, however the negative forces -again, ' those in power' decided otherwise.

In a nutshell that's it! I am sorry to have inconvenienced so many wonderful people who wanted to help, but this is a small example of why we need to keep our own positive energies strong! My deepest thanks to you all.

I hope I will still meet ,and hug many more of you as I continue my work of spreading the Beatles message of love and peace!

Much love, Louise (Lou) Harrison.
