A while back, at Wembly (I think) there was this concert that was held after George harrison from the beatles had died. It is on DVD titled "Concert for George" .... and is a must have!

The first part features Pt. Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anouskha Shankar giving tribute with Indian Classical music, something that George Harrison loved .... and the second part features Eric Clapton, Joe Brown, Billy Preston, Paul McCartney playing some of the classics - and if you loved the original this is this version is even better!







Here are some of the videos from the DVD online on youtube.com ...enjoy!!!

Here are the lyrics to this heart warming song

"Though the days are long,Twilight sings a song,Of the happiness that used to be;Soon my eyes will close,,Soon I'll find repose,And in dreams you're always near to me.''I'll see you in my dreams,Hold you in my dreams;,Someone took you out of my arms,Still I feel the thrill of your charms!,Lips that once were mine,''Tender eyes that shine,They will light my way tonight,I'll see you in my dreams! "

Hope you enjoyed the videos and the lovely music!
