George had so many things going... his ukelele and the George Formby fans.... The Hare Krishna guys.... his sponsership of movies for eg Life of Brian.... His keen interest in gardening.... his recording studio at Friar Park.... the Travelling Wilburies....
he had so many irons in the fire and of course , anyone he contacted was thrilled to get involved with George and his projects.
Maybe the 70s was his greatest time... recording his own albums...
I think he moved into Friar Park around 1970 too .
