George would be 75 now. Hopefully someone will write a musical tribute to him. Post-Beatles George truly came into his own as a musician, composer, singer- a complete artist and person.

     I've been invited this year. Not to formally do something (but I have hopes of announcing something interesting, but not along those lines). This year it is a one-day event, s the Locla author Showcase at the Richland County Library is not happening.

     But it is a time to see friends, make new ones, network, and enjoy good literature/arts!
