I sang background vocals on this song on the Verities and Balderdash album. I really miss Harry. He was a great guy and a great humanitarian. One of my favorite songs.
@Kortikosteroid Agreed. Sadly, the recordings and the tribute covers are all that's left for me to know him by, but I love his "live" recordings the best: The raw emotions, the way he interacted with his audiences, the spontaneity, never doing a song the same way twice. I'll take that over a sterile studio album any day!
Live performing is becoming a lost art these days; far too many big-name tours are little more than album advertisements, with play-acting to the studio recording. Why bother?
its easy to learn how to play the guitar and play it well, its another thing to go and play a song and intentionally play it bad and still make it sound good
ROFL!!! Reminds me of Victor Borge --- once you're genuinely *good*, it's got to be hard work to go back and sound convincingly "bad". Harry, you're giving all of us "musical hacks" hope, even from the Great Beyond! Great post!

Harry is the only singer I like to listen and watch "live" like this, rather than listen his music from CD :)
