I got my mind set on you – Going back in time to my favorite song when I was 6 years old

George Harrison. My favorite Beatle. Perhaps he’s my favorite Beatle because of this song and from the mindset of a 6 year old I think that is okay. I fell in love with song most probably due to the beat. I couldn’t stop singing and dancing to it everywhere I went – even if it…
