	George Barnes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sir George Barnes (1904-1960) was a British broadcasting executive, who was a station Controller of both BBC Radio and later BBC Television in the 1940s and 1950s.
		However, this proved not to be a permanent career for Barnes, and after a short spell at the Cambridge University Press he joined the BBC in 1935 as a Producer in the Talks Department.
		Barnes retired from broadcasting in 1956, becoming the Vice Chancellor of the University College of North Staffordshire, which was later to become known as Keele University.

	George Barnes
		George Barnes was born July 17, 1921 in a Chicago suburb.
		George's original chosen instrument was the piano, which he began playing at age 6 but, when the Barnes family lost their piano as well as their house in the depression all that was left was a Sears Roebuck Silvertone guitar with an action about an inch high.
		George had a unique technique in playing the guitar in that he held the pick between his thumb and middle finger, claiming that it gave him more control; played with mainly down strokes and when creating vibrato he did it across the fingerboard instead of in line with the fingerboard as most guitarists do.

		As the mutilating of animals begins to alarm the locals and the police, the authorities begin to suspect that George is behind it all, as a way of highlighting their ineptitude at finding out who has been harrasing him and his family.
		Arthur & George is a super book for two reasons: Barnes' accomplished, brilliant writing, the tone of which is matched faultlessly to the time-period concerned, and the portrait of the two main characters.
		George is a restrained, wonderfully frustrating character (in the way of all humans), and he bears his fate with a great sense of dignity, even though he, or so it seems to the world, has none left.

		George Barnes has been unjustly overlooked by fans of jazz guitar, since he spent a good portion of his career as a studio musician, but the initial appearance in 2003 of this previously unreleased 1977 concert (recorded just a few months prior to his death) adds an important final chapter to his recorded legacy.
		George Barnes may be the 1st guitarist to play electric guitar and also to elevate it to a solo instrument, both acapella and ensemble.
		Barnes' tragic death at 56 (shortly after this recording) was a great loss to music; he was at the top of his game and his joy in playing just oozes out of the speakers.

		"Barnes said that he was moved to remorse by a visit to the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial in D.C., and continued, "It was the worst thing I did, was help a lot of wealthy supporters and a lot of people who had family names of importance get into the National Guard.
		However, Barnes testified instead that the late Houston oilman (and Bush buddy) Sidney Adger, not Bush's family, had interceded on young George's behalf – a loophole that allowed the then governor (already a presidential hopeful) to claim (as he does still) that he knew nothing about it.
		Barnes (on tap for 60 Minutes Sunday) did not return a call requesting comment, but the real news in his May confession was his frankness on politics-as-usual in Texas: "I got a lot of other people in the National Guard because I thought that was what people should do when you're in office.
