“[George] really loved flowers, you know? I remember we were going by some flower, some plant once, and he said, ‘Tom, look at this, ‘cause I have pictures of these in my wallet.’ [laughs]” - Tom Petty, Sound Opinions interview, 2003; partially re-broadcast in 2017

At Friar Park, 1970. Photo by Barry Feinstein.

“Konrad Engbers recalls how George visited the [garden] centre just after he started. ‘He came in to see me and asked how things were. I told him it was a little slow and he said “I’ll give it a little push for you.” He then bought almost every tree I had in stock and first thing the next day a motorcycle courier turned up with payment. ‘Ever since then he was one of my most loyal and regular customers.’ […] ‘He had called in to another nursery just along the road from mine,’ said Konrad. ‘The owner there told him he didn’t serve hippies and to clear off. I had no idea who he was but we got talking and he began to visit regularly. ‘There was a small hut in the nursery that I had converted into a bar. We used to sit together and enjoy a couple of drinks. I remember one particular occasion when he played his guitar there for me.’ And George would walk down the hill from Friar Park to the market where Konrad ran a stall. ‘He would wait in the queue, take his turn and never expected any preferential treatment. One day he asked me up to his garden for advice on some trees that were dying. After that, he regularly asked for my advice on any gardening matters.’ […] ‘He was such a kind man with no airs and graces — a man with a truly big heart.’” - Henley Standard, December 2001 (x)

I've been replaying my favorite Sonic game lately and it inspired me to draw BKMN characters as Chao creatures ^_^
