Sad that he died earlier than he should have, but I'll not miss any of his music or that of the vastly overrated band he was once in - The Beatles(s)
Sadly, it really is 20 years since George Harrison passed away . . .
F.T.F.A.

20 years - incredible. It really doesn't seem that long Bob.
I asked my Wife how long since George passed and she said, "about 7 years".
Always thought George songs were some of the best from the Beatles. Doesn't seem like 20 years.
I worked with George Harrison’s nephew for about 10 years and never realised, on the day George died he shot off and didn’t return for 2 weeks. When he left we jokingly speculated that seeing as he had the same name, was a scouser and he shot off the way he did on the day he died that he was related....little did we know!
It wasn’t until a forum member on here replied to a post about famous people I realised it was the same person. Can’t remember the member but he used to hang around with George’s nephew in the 70s and would stay at his estate in Henley being driven around by George in his roller. It wasn’t until he said where he last worked and his name that the penny dropped. I gave our member his phone number and they made contact again. I found it difficult to believe he was the nephew of probably one of the most famous people in the music industry over the last 50 years and he never said a thing.
I knew he passed in 2001, but didn't realise today was the anniversary.
His wonderfull music will always be with us, and if we all shared just a modicum of his compassion and spirituality the world would be a far better place.
As a footnote, a couple of weeks ago I got myself a Dhani Harrison signature Fender ukelele, I shall have a strum of My Sweet Lord later and think about George.

I have binge watched the Get Back series of three x two hour episodes around the preparation for recording Let it Be, and the famous rooftop concert.
I was born in Liverpool, but missed out on Beatlemania.
The insights to the relationship between Lennon and McCartney are fascinating, and both openly admit during the recording that they don't embrace the contributions of Harrison to the extent they deserve.
The amount of tobacco consumed during the sessions is unbelievable, each of the main protagonists appears to smoke constantly.
Unfortunately, this was likely a major factor in Harrison's diagnosis of lung cancer.
If you have the Disney+ channel, it is well worth a watch
