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?

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

@sdingeswho Good Comparison mentioning Victor Borge, I was lucky to be able I got to see both of them in Concert

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!
