RAMBLIN ROUND: Oklahomans contributed to George Harrison's milestones

George Harrison is being celebrated with a couple of 50th anniversary milestones this week — and a group of Oklahomans were right in the middle of both events.

Both musical events came in the wake of the breakup of The Beatles — leaving Harrison free to work with other musicians.

This week marks the "50th anniversary" rerelease of Harrison's groundbreaking triple album, "All Things Must Pass," as well as the 50th anniversary of the "The Concert for Bangladesh," the 1971 all-star benefit fundraiser Harrison put together for the beleaguered nation at the behest of his friend, master sitarist Ravi Shankar.

To get technical, the original release of "All Things Must Pass" came in November 1970, but since November 2021 is still a few months away, I guess the album can still slide in under the wire at 50 years-plus.
