Grammy Foundation Honors Sir George Martin


A gala event was held by Gibson Foundations/Grammy Foundation for Sir...yes,Sir George Martin.If you do not know of Sir George Martin,well,he produced the Beatles albums,starting with Revolver.To me,he was the man behind the Beatles that had the vision of what to do with the their music.The production,the arrangements,the orchestral backing tracks,the whole rock meets orchestral thing!Don't get me wrong,the Beatles songs were the foundation,and great songwriters they were,but lets just say,he took the whole thing to the next level!And this event is just one of many he has been honored at.My hat goes off to George Martin....a genius?
