Dear Twitpic Community – thank you for all the wonderful photos you have taken over the years. We have yim south milwaukee placed Twitpic in an archived state. English rock musician George Harrison from his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass.

Pete Drake, Billy Preston, Gary Wright, Klaus Voormann and Alan White played on the recording. Crisp’s eccentric homilies, which the former Beatle discovered inscribed inside the house and around the property, inspired subsequent compositions of Harrison’s, including “Ding Dong, Ding Dong” and “The Answer’s at the End”. Since 1965, George Harrison and his wife, Pattie Boyd, had lived in Kinfauns in Surrey, south of London. The house was built in 1898, on the site of a thirteenth-century monastery, by Sir Frank Crisp, a successful City of London solicitor, microscopist and horticulturalist well known for his eccentricities. On 17 March 1970, despite the property’s state of disrepair, the Harrisons threw a party to celebrate Pattie’s 26th birthday and St Patrick’s Day. It was all rotting and nobody was interested .

They were trying to pull it down and destroy it. In his book The Words and Music of George Harrison, Ian Inglis similarly views the song as “a guided tour of the house and grounds”, with Harrison “pointing out features of particular interest”. The song’s “final scene” focuses on what Leng calls “the illusions within the illusion”, as the narrative returns to the interior of the house and the “real people” living there. Rather than people, Inglis views the first of these lines as a reference to the “many extraordinary features Crisp had installed”, among them “fantastic statues, bizarre gargoyles, illuminated caverns  and hidden stepping-stones”. According to Harrison’s later recollection, Spector suggested that “Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp” might attract a few cover versions if he changed the lyrics.
