“I'm the kind of person who would love to play whenever I felt like, with a band, and it might as well be the Holiday Inn in Nebraska - somewhere where no one knows you, and you're in a band situation just playing music.”

English musician

George Harrison was an English musician who rose to international fame with the Beatles. Born in 1943 and active through the rock era, he first played lead guitar in the band, then also took on rhythm and bass guitar, organ, and non-Western instruments. Known as "the quiet Beatle," Harrison helped shape the Beatles' musical direction. He later built a successful solo career, and his work is especially associated with Eastern musical influences.
