Isn't it a Pity

Thank you for making these programs on George Harrison available on line. It was a truly beautiful program, worthy of the wonderful life and music that the gift of his music is to the world. I was truly moved to discover new things about George's life and music, and to realize more of what we miss now in his absence. Thank you.
