Tribute to the Moody Beatle..

[oldhen]

There's so rarely anything remotely worth watching on the telly, so was very pleasantly surprised to turn on public television one random Monday evening and find The Concert for George on.. The Moody Beatle in equal parts spiritual seeker and somewhat reluctant rock star really was a complex man, and a brilliant and different musician. His talents

Curious about the name Dhani, I did a little searching around. There are claims that it is taken from the notes in Indian music, where Dha Ni follows Ma and Pa! I think even if this weren't true, it is a really cute idea. Another claim is that it is supposed to mean wealthy in Hindi; Dhan-Dhani. Do you know if either is true?

I vaguely remember an interview with George Harrison where he supported the theory that the name Dhani comes from the notes in Indian music... But, he could well have been joking.. ;) It is a cool story anyways, though!

beautiful - I've grown attached to George and his music. May I say, the seed was planted by your earlier Wilbury post with "Tala Mala Sheela..":).

I think he is terribly underrated and as much a Beatle in his own right as any of the others. Great music, currently listening to the song where he goes "Really wanna know you...(chorus) Hallejulah, Hare Rama " Great music is many a times a result of clarity of thought and intense peace of mind. No doubt Harrison was an equal parts spiritual seeker:)

Why, thank you! :)

My Sweet Lord is a beautiful song.. Billy Preston did a superb cover of that song during the tribute concert, really brought the audience to its feet..

Nicely put mate, and very true in Harrison's case..
