Yim Yames - Tribute To

(2009)

“Hello Friends. Just like most everyone else under this crazy dome i have been a fan of The Beatles since early childhood…but it wasn’t till sometime in ‘99 that an old pal turned me on to “All Things Must Pass” and quickly became even more enamored with the beauty and majesty of all things George Harrison. He always seemed to be a beacon of good light onto the world…accomplishing the care task of using his massive fortune and fame to promote peace - both within and around the world. i will always look up to and see him as a prime example of the healing power of music…. and how, in tune with it, all is possible….

The following are a selection of George’s songs i recorded back in 2001 a few days after he passed, that were moving me so very much at the time…i recorded them live at Above the Cadillac in Shelbyville, KY - on my cousin John’s “Ol’ Faithful”  Fustex 8 Track Reel 2 Reel, Then overdubbed a banjitar or B.Vox here or there. I find comfort knowing that all things must pass, but that as all things do pass their spirits are still out there moving us somewhere…doing what they do, just as real as they ever were in this physical world…i hear them singing and i fell them in my blood. 

Thanks George for helping me to understand things just a lil bit better…”
