While My Guitar Gently Sleeps - Regina Spektor

 

Really enjoyed this movie and highly recommend it.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Gary Clark Jr., Joe Walsh, and Dave Grohl

Very good cover from a very entertaining movie - Kubo and the Two Strings.

Like I said - very entertaining movie that came out a couple of years ago - good for adults and kids alike. And very good cover of one of my favorite songs.

George Harrison

Hard to believe but George Harrison passed away 18-years ago today. Above is one of his hits that seems mostly forgotten today. Here's perhaps his greatest song performed by friends after his passing (and featuring one of the best guitar solos in history). Sad that the song was supposed to be a tribute to George but now also serves as a tribute to both Tom Petty and Prince as well.

Very cool!

Tom Petty Linky Links

Sad day as rock legend Tom Petty has passed away.

- George Harrison, Tom Petty and Ukuleles

- Everyone is mentioning their favorite Tom Petty song. There's so many to choose from but mine is Running Down a Dream

- Speaking of Running Down a Dream - if you want to know the history of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers I highly recommend the documentary Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Running Down a Dream

- When George Harrison passed away Tom Petty led a star studded tribute of While My Guitar Gently Weeps. The song featured one of the great guitar solos of all-time by Prince.

Who is going to lead the tribute to Tom Petty? And what song will they choose?

Prince's Best Solo

Prince's guitar solo at the end of this While My Guitar Gently Weeps tribute to George Harrison is my favorite of all-time.

Here's the backstory of how that came to be.

Here's a story of Prince and Journey that shows Prince's integrity as an artist.

I feel bad that I never properly appreciated Prince when he was alive.

Today would have been George Harrison's 69th birthday. This seemed like a worthy tribute.

Hard to believe that it s 10-years to the day since George Harrison passed away.

While My Guitar Gently Weeps

George Harrison has been in my thoughts of late. I was born too late to really appreciate the band but almost instinctively - he was always my favorite Beatle. This version of what may be his masterpiece is just outstanding. Just as an FYI - that's George's son playing the guitar next to Tom Petty. How great is Prince in this video?

Very Cool



I never saw a person rock with a ukulele before but this was so awesome that I half expected him to smash his ukulele at the end.
