I Love Lucy: George Harrison’s Favorite Gibson Guitars
George Harrison was the “quiet Beatle” – at least until he plugged in an electric guitar and, to paraphrase another famed guitar wrangler of the era, “let his freak flag fly.” One of the key instruments in Harrison’s guitarsenal was “Lucy,” a more solid-bodied relative of B.B. King’s beloved “Lucille”. Lucy is one of the world’s most famous Gibson Les Paul Standards, although her 1957 date of birth dictates that she began her life as a Les Paul Gold Top.

Thanks for those great links msLinds! WOW, I see why Yoko's "It Happened" is one of your favorites Nico, that was awesome! I love how Sean is trying his best to have fun and get into the show but he has to keep directing everyone else Is Char really rocking out those Bass lines? She cooks! Then I see Sean doing his best Tony Levin on Bass with Cibo Matto… that's so cool they can pick up any instrument and go to town And that Antony dude, that was so weird seeing this huge Sumo-wrestler guy croon as delicate as Tiny Tim tiptoeing through the tulips! Strange, but very touching <3 What a great show, maybe more videos from it will surface soon. Let's hope!

Your welcome 3rd World Man.I have some updates.I am just going to add them all in one thread here.Since they are reviews about that same concert.

A couple more reviews with photographs about the fundraising benefit for Japan at Le Poisson Rouge on March 29, 2011.I think the beginning of that last article from the Village Voice that the writer is full wrong about Sean and the writer is full of it.But its common and typical of the stereotypes and labels people have about not just him but other people they don't actually know about.At least he did say Sean was charming in the article later.

March 29, 2011

Back in January I had the pleasure of shooting The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger, a whimsical duo made up of Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl, for mxdwn.com and Laura Gibson. My review and photos can be found on MxDwn but I thought I’d include a few my photos here on my blog that didn’t make it to MxDwn. For any readers that come upon this band, I truly implore you to go see them play because they really are quite wonderful.

I really appreciate that Sean was one of the first in the entertainment field to respond so quickly to the disaster in Japan with these tribute shows. There are a lot of people who suffered devastating losses, whose lives are changed forever, and it means a lot that some people realize that and want to give back, despite the talk about Japan's wealth. I honestly can't imagine looking at a situation like that earthquake/tsunami and not wanting to do something, so Sean and Yoko and all the others involved get my props for putting action to words and giving 100% of the proceeds instead of a portion.

Thank you for the articles mslinds. The Village Voice writer appears to be deliberating a lot of tongue-in-cheek with that intro, but it's borderline stale at this point. Whether people want to admit this or not, and I get that it sounds grandiose so some won't, Sean Lennon is the most talented and creative offspring of any of the former Beatles. Haters gonna hate.

Hey, try reading comments from the Ohnotheydidn't board regarding Sean, Yoko, and even John. I tell you...ignorant people be multiplying like mosquitoes and you get them near a computer, with the anonymity of the internet, and all that stupid comes right out. It can get bad enough to be hilarious but then you think...these are their actual thoughts?

Ha! Last part of the video with the ice cream maker/butter churner comment and Char's gesture/Sean's reaction is priceless. How cute are these two?

[msLinds]
