It was 50 years ago today......



Love Paul with his guitar strung for left handed musicians


The rosewood Telecaster that George played on the roof is one of the rarest and most valuable guitars ever made.  Initially Fender only made 2 instruments, one of which they gave to George.  He used it only for a brief period of time, and gave it away to his friend Delaney Bramlett.  It eventually sold at auction for a half million dollars.

Staggered to discover my older sister (married to a man with every Beatles recording possible) has no idea what ‘the roof-top concert’ is/was! 

(She was in London at the time)


One of the departments of the media organisation I work for holds its annual Christmas party (weather permitting) on the roof of the building.  The musos in the department form a band to entertain us.  We wonder what the people in all the high-rise apartments surrounding the building are thinking when the band is playing.


And those stupid constables interfering with history trying to stop the concert.
