I, like all of you, am a big fan of Harry. Like most, I first heard of him
through the "When Harry Met Sally" soundtrack. Ever since that time I was
hooked. I have had the pleasure of seeing him perform on at least a half dozen
occasions. In Toronto, we have a small performance hall called Massey Hall
which maybe holds about 5,000 people. We also have Exhibition stadium where he
has performed before 20,000. I much prefer the smaller, more intimate Massey
but in either area he is the ultimate performer. One of the most memorable was
at Massey. A couple of years ago he had just finished recording "The Bare
Necessities" (recorded in Toronto) and performed it live for the first time that
night. Additionally, the "Trio" album was released around the same time but for
this performance he added a fourth member. Harry mentioned something about a
quartet but I have yet to see any releases under that title.
I have also had
the pleasure of meeting Harry (and Jill, his beautiful wife) on a few occasions.
He is always sincere and the perfect gentleman. A great guy and a great
musician, I can't wait to hear what he does next. I'll checxk back in a couple
of weeks and tell of some other stories (Harry on guitar!). Cheers!
