Harry was a brilliant writer. One time, I was at a festival in Perth Amboy and he drafted me to do the contratenor part in Taxi as well as backing him up on concertina. I recorded the concert.

What I get every time I play the tape is that Harry had to have been chronically depressed, based upon his writing. When he is not present to carry his work, almost the entire body of his work is very 'down." When he was physically present, the brilliance came through the mood.
