On George Harrison's Birthday , Here's the Top 10

The Top Ten Things I dig about George Harrison...

1.  " Taxman" one of the coolest rock songs ever written and recorded.  George wrote it
although McCartney plays the solo.

2. His version of " Devil In Her Heart"  is one of my favorites.

3. No one looked cooler holding a " Country Gentleman" Gretch guitar.

4. Cool acting sequence in " Hard Day's Night" where they think he's auditioning for a TV show.

5. Solo in " Something" one of history's best.

6. Sinatra said " Something" was one of the best love songs ever written. ( although mistakenly
credited it to Lennon / McCartney )

7.  Played really well thought out solos.  ( check out " All My Lovin' )

8. Cool 12 string playing.  ( like the " Hard Day's Night" solo)

9. Cool appearance on the Smothers Brothers Show.

10. Although McCartney and Lennon wrote it, George's version of " I'm Happy

Just to Dance With You" defines early Beatle happiness.   Dig?
