Pam Docters was struck by the I was stuck by the green moss and blue water at the Westport Library Riverwalk — and enhanced it (a wee bit) for today’s “Westport … Naturally” feature.

And finally … George Harrison would have been 81 today. “The Quiet Beatle” — whose musical legacy is immense — died on November 29, 2001, of brain cancer.

  1. George was an incredible talent. Most under rated of all the Beatles.

  2. Toni Simonetti

    That rendition of While My Guitar Gently Weeps is iconic, with all its celebrated musicians including Dhani Harrison. It is matched only at Harrison’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Prince’s guitar solo. Both are amazing renditions of an amazing song from an amazing artist.

    Will remain among my very favorites of all time.
