SANTANA COVERS HARRISON: Olivia Harrison has given her approval to Carlos Santana's cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on his upcoming album where he'll redo classic guitar songs, reports Spinner. "It completes the circle really. Carlos is really the one that can close it. Eric Clapton did it, Prince did it [with] that incredible solo at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few years ago. What that showed to me was no matter how hard you play the song, it doesn't have limitations," she told Spinner.
BRIAN RAY IN GUITAR PLAYER: Brian Ray announced on his Facebook page he's in the new issue of Guitar Player. Great magazine! Congrats, Brian!

I love the end where Barry and Maurice collide. The best part of the clip. Hilarious!
I enjoyed that. Wonder what ever became of that trio?
