Wouldn't that be Great if you could!!

George Harrison came up with Here Comes The Sun in Eric Clapton's garden using one of Clapton's acoustic guitars. When the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein died in 1967, the band had to handle more of their accounting and business affairs, which Harrison hated. He wrote this after attending a round of business meetings. This song was inspired by the long winters in England which Harrison thought went on forever.
In the documentary The Material World, Eric Clapton talked about writing this song with Harrison: "It was one of those beautiful spring mornings. I think it was April, we were just walking around the garden with our guitars. I don't do that, you know? This is what George brought to the situation. He was just a magical guy... we sat down at the bottom of the garden, looking gout, and the sun was shining; it was a beautiful morning, and he began to sing the opening lines (to "Here Comes the Sun") and I just watched this thing come to life."   ;-)

I always wanted a patio so I could re-create the cover of All Things Must Pass with lawn gnomes, etc...

Too bad I don't even have a house. I live in an apartment Lmao I think I read somewhere that George came up with the concept for Here Comes The Sun while sitting in Eric Clapton's garden? Anyways, this is cute!
