I Dig Love by George Harrison

This morning I was remembering the I DIG LOVE slide show I made in 6th grade. There was a method of slide-making using cellophane packing tape. I'd select a one and a half inch square image from a magazine picture and cut it out and place tape on it. The image would adhere to the tape. Then I would dip the small piece of taped paper into a bowl of warm water to take off the excess paper pulp. This left me with a color transparency. I'd trim it with scissors to fit inside the teeny plastic slide frame and loaded it into the slide projector. I organized the sequence creating a slide show to the music.

I remember playing my musical and slide show for my parents in my bedroom. Listen to the music here. I remember they told me the slides were moving too slow even before we reached the body of the song. I was eleven and I was receiving my first major critique from my parents on I Dig Love. Today I am enjoying the irony.

I Dig Love
by

George Harrison
I dig love
I dig love
I dig love
Hm, I dig love in the morning
I dig love in the evening
I dig love and I want you to know I dig love
I love dig
I love dig
I love dig
Hm, I love dig in the morning
I love dig every evening
I dig love and I want you to know I dig love
Small love, big love, I don't care
Love's all good love to me
Left love, right love, anywhere love
There's a rare love, come on and get it, it's free
I dig love
I dig love
I dig love
Hm, I dig love in the morning
I dig love in the evening
I dig love and I want you to know I dig love
Bought love, short love, in any port
Love's always there to see
Make love, take love, but you should give love
And try to live love, come on that's where you should be
I dig love
I dig love
I dig love
Hm, I dig love in the morning
I dig love in the evening
I dig love and I want you to know I dig love
Yes, I want you to know I dig love
Yes, I want you to know I dig love
To know I dig love
Yes, I do
I dig love
