Phoenix's VIOLENT REVOLUTION Begin the New Thrash Revolt

George Harrison’s former stonemason has been fondly remembering the man he knew as a ‘generous and intelligent’ man who was deeply affected by the death of his former Beatles colleague John Lennon. Speaking at his home in Oxford, George Robb, aged 81, told the Standard: “I knew George as an employer and there was never anything I could say against him. He was very good to me — a very generous man. I remember the first Christmas I worked for him, and I was in a club down the road when someone told me there was a taxi outside for me. I went outside and George had sent me a hamper from Harrods all the way from London in a taxi!” Mr. Robb was first invited to work on Friar Park in 1980 and he was awestruck at the beauty of the place. “When I first went to Friar Park, I was stunned because it was such a beautiful, beautiful place, and I couldn’t believe that one person was undertaking the work he was going to spend on it, because it was a monumental job. I worked on the main house, the gardener’s lodge, the middle lodge and the front lodge during my years there, as well as the gardens and maintaining the lakes, which are probably two or three acres. George literally put millions of pounds into the place over the years, and I don’t think he would like it to be opened to the public, because he was always such a private man. I have worked all over the world but Friar Park is one of the most amazing buildings I have ever seen.” Although Mr. Robb was always aware of his role as one of Harrison’s employees, he was very close to the family. “When Dhani was learning to speak, George insisted that he called him Daddy George and me Stonemason George so that he didn’t get confused. He was an adventurous lad who loved climbing on the scaffolding, and he’d be up there with me, 30 or 40 feet off the ground quite happily enjoying himself. George himself was a generous and intelligent man who suffered no fools, and he was always very private. He used to enjoy a drink at the Row Barge pub in Henley but he didn’t go into the town as much after John Lennon was shot.” Mr. Robb’s wife, Mina, added: “That really shook him — he used to say that if he landed after a flight, and came out onto the steps of the plane, he would be wondering which person might have a gun.”
