"Lucy"[edit]

There's quite a story about the "Lucy" guitar involving its theft, recovery, and the telling of the story on Brad Meltzer's program Lost History.

Would it be appropriate to incorporate that story/event here?

Just curious. 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 07:08, 17 November 2019 (UTC)

Cremation place - check recommended[edit]

Harrison who died 29 November 2001 is stated here to have been cremated at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. However, on looking up the article on the cemetery I found that a citation linked New York Times story about the reopening of the crematory, dated 1 December 2002 - a year later - states that, due to a time lapse before dereliction was remedied, no one was cremated here after Mama Cass (1974) until a Thursday preceding the latter date. However I have been unable to check the citation to the Los Angeles Times report about his funeral because the address has been moved. Something for someone, perhaps in the US, to check.Cloptonson (talk) 21:38, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

This source from The Daily Telegraph says: "He was cremated in a cardboard coffin in accordance with the faith but his ashes were not scattered in the Ganges as reports at the time suggested they would be." Martinevans123 (talk) 21:53, 9 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, although it does not identify the cremation place.Cloptonson (talk) 22:02, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
