“During autumn [of 1967] George asked Simon and me to paint a mural around the fireplace in the living room at the ‘Kinfauns’ bungalow in Esher. The mural portrayed George and Pattie as ‘Music Boy’ and ‘Flower Girl,’ as they lovingly called each other then, attended by a Yogi surrounded with an Aura of Light as the focal point to express their interest in Hinduism. We stayed at their lovely place about ten days to complete it. Inspired, George started decorating the exterior of the house, graffiti style with spray cans […]. George was kind and funny but would also be quiet and pensive at times. […] George also turned us on to Paramahansa Yogananda’s book; ‘Autobiography of a Yogi,’ whose large portrait was watching us from the wall while we were painting the mural […].” - Marijke Koger, marijkekogerart dot com, 11 August 2021

“At that moment, an arm wrapped around me from behind, and even though I couldn’t see who it was, I knew it could only be George. He put his head on my right shoulder and gave me a cheeky grin and a sidelong glance. ‘What’s that under your nose, George?’ ‘It’s called a mustache.’ George put on a jokingly posh look and slowly brushed along his mustache with one finger. […] He pointed at his new fireplace. ‘Looks like a lot of work, doesn’t it? Look, there’s Krishna in the center.’ It seemed very important to George to have more and more symbols of Indian culture around him. While he stood next to me, with his long, full dark hair, the mustache and dark eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, he suddenly seemed like an Indian himself. He fully merged into this culture and way of life. George had found his path. […] George grabbed a paintbrush as well, and together with the Dutch gypsies we set to work on George’s fireplace.” - Klaus Voormann, translated from Warum spielst du Imagine nicht auf dem weißen Klavier, John? (2003) (x)

In July [1971], the music press gave reports of the many people George was assembling for the concert. It was rumoured that his friend Dylan might even turn up, but Terry [Doran] told me George was having slight problems with Bob. Dylan had not performed for quite a while. Now George was asking him to make his 'comeback' in the hardest of all performing situations: at Madison Square Gardens with a bunch of musicians he had never played with before. One day during rehearsals, Dylan apparently got uptight and said he just couldn't do it; he was too nervous. George went wild: "You're nervous! What, are you crazy? I've never performed without the other three. At least you're used to performing on your own!" Dylan then explained that the concert was becoming a hassle. Again, George went wild. "I'm the one trying to put it together. All you have to do is sing!" Dylan walked out of the rehearsals. (He was not seen again by George, or anyone else, until the night of the concert. George didn't know if he was coming or not. So when the time allotted for Dylan came in the concert, live and on stage, George looked into the stage wings. There was Dylan, ready to come on. George still didn't know he was going to perform until Dylan started to stroll on stage. Dylan was a major hit, possibly the limelight of the show. It did Dylan good, too. He had regained his confidence and returned to the road for a tour shortly after the concert.)
