“[George Harrison and I] spent a lot of time discussing getting it all done. Getting all what done? I’m not quite sure. I think it’s what’s happening — all you need is love and baby you’re a rich man. Those aren’t titles, those are phrases. Those are statements, and they’re true — baby, you’re a rich man, you keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo, and you’re a rich man. Anybody can do it, maybe I’ll write a song to that effect. You can do it, it’s just a question of getting everybody to believe. Our ideas about this life are very much alike — almost totally.” - Peter Tork, Tiger Beat, November 1967 “George invited me and Bill Chadwick out to hang with him. He showed us his sitar and we talked about music — Indian and Rock.” - Peter Tork, Beachwood Confidential Newsletter, 1995 “[In January 1968] ‘[George] said: “I’m working on a soundtrack album, I’d love to have you play a little banjo.”’ Tork had traveled without his instrument, so Harrison borrowed McCartney’s five-string banjo for the session — ‘which Paul couldn’t play — at least conventionally, because the folk five-string banjo can’t be restrung in reverse order for left-handers, it must be custom made. I played for 45 minutes, George said, “Thanks very much,” and we went our separate ways.’ Tork’s breezy contribution didn’t make the record, but it can be heard 15 minutes into the film, after Collins is chided by his mother for spying through the wall. ‘And I did not get paid,’ he laughs. ‘George said: “We’ll figure that out later.” He knew that the honor itself was payment enough!’” - The Guardian, March 23, 2017 "I suppose the highlight of L.A. this time for us was the session we had at Peter Tork’s place. Peter Asher joined us there — he played bass, Peter Tork was on piano, George and Dave Crosby on guitars and Ringo drumming.” - Mal Evans, The Beatles Monthly, August 1968 “[George] was as kind and as gentle a man as you could imagine.” - Peter Tork, Liverpool Echo, November 28, 2011
