Friar Park, a residential neighborhood in the northern section of Los Angeles, California, United States, is where George Harrison lived from 1963 to 1966. The house he rented was located at 736 North Privett Avenue. He paid $225 per month for the two-bedroom, one-bathroom house that was owned by actor Rex Reed. The property had an estimated value of $80,000 then; today, it would be worth more than $300,000. Harrison bought a guitar and started playing songs by The Beatles. He also wrote some songs himself. In fact, this is where he developed his talent for writing music. He played all the time for his friends and family, who called him "Gorge." He used this nickname as the name for his first album, which was released in January 1970. Harrison died on November 29, 2001, at the age of 58. Today, many people still remember him for his work with The Beatles. His musical contributions to that band are without doubt significant, but he also had a successful career as a solo artist.
