A Sad Farewell

Flags were lowered last Friday in Liverpool, England, home of the Beatles, as all the world mourned the death of George Harrison. The lead guitarist for the legendary rock 'n' roll band died of cancer at age 58. Former band mates Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney expressed their sorrow. (The fourth Beatle, John Lennon, died in 1980.) Harrison's 1969 "Here Comes the Sun" was among the Fab Four's many hits.
