Personally, I don't have all of George's albums, but of the ones I've owned and from what I've heard of the others on the radio and YouTube etc., I think Cloud 9 is the best one he did. And the production/engineering is top-notch. There are a few songs he did over the years where you can see how much John rubbed off on him, and "Fab" is one of them. That little obtuse piano line that comes up during the choruses is so typical John Lennon. Good on ya mate.

I just had my first listen, to the second version.   Where's the Beatles influence??   j/k, it's obvious. 
 
I liked it, very solid and very Beatles-esque; from the chord changes to the string hits to the smooth & wide BGVs to the George-ish guitar fills and some very Ringo-ish fills.  But I also get the ELO vibe too, probably because of the strings, and the chord changes, and...  Huh.     Anyhow, nice job John.  I really enjoyed it. 

I only listened to the long version, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and I am floored.  You got the essence nailed, and wrote a great song to boot.  Congratulations to you and your friends!

Great song. Loved it.
 
The mix? Everyone else probably covered it.
 
BTW, I love my Rick 4003 too. You can hear it on Summer Rain here in the Songs Forum.

Lynn and Ed, 
Thank you for listening and I'm glad you liked it.  It was a fun song to workout on piano,  hearing the root notes playing against the chords.

Thanks Steve!  This song is my debut on drums.  V-Drums that is.  A simple beat.  I had them wired to Additive Drums 2.  The first part of the song has no high hat just like Ringo use to do sometimes.  My friend, Ben, is a pretty good George Harrison guitar student.
