This day in music history.

December 13, 1974, Ravi Shankar, George Harrison, Peter Frampton, Tom Scott (Saxophonist/Composer) and Billy Preston lunched at the White House with President Gerald Ford. Ford offered them WIN (Whip Inflation Now) buttons, but couldn't find any, to which George said "Well I guess that's that then."
Excerpt from Crackerbox Palace by George Harrison
"Some times are good . . . some times are bad,
That's all a part of life.
And standing in between them all
I met a Mr. Grief ...and he said:
"I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
Was not expecting you.
Let's rap and tap at Crackerbox Palace
Know that the Lord is well and inside of you."
