I already have one printed and framed. Probably his biggest smile on camera. From last years Clark's concert. But bring more pics. B

Claudio makes some great sandwiches. Stop by, have a bite to eat, listen to some good music, get up and play if you'd like, and enjoy some good company...

Harry would have loved it !

I wish I could thank each and every one of you for coming out tonight.

Some of Harry's family was there tonight, but they didn't want any attention brought to them. They loved what everyone did tonight in tribute to Harry.

Thank you one and all ! God Bless Harry !

I just want to say that I had a great time!! I was very honored to play in a show for the memory of Harry, and to add it was great to play on stage with some very old and dear friends and also make some new friends.

It was sad that we gathered on such an occasion, but some good music was made, and friends touched base. On the whole, I'd say Harry would approve. Thanks all, it was good to see all of you.--->JMS

It was an honor to be a part of this event. I've been part of a number of benefit gigs (even though this was a memorial, not a benefit), and while doing such causes always puts a warm feeling in my heart, this gig was a lot more personal since I actually knew the honoree.

Harry would have dug it...

Thankyou everyone. H was smileing down on us last night. It was nice to all be together, and for some, it was the closeure(sp) we needed.

big props to paul for being the pro that he is and holding every song together with his mad skills, it was fun shareing the stage with you all. i could go on and on about all the talent that was present last night, but i'll stop there.

It was a beautiful day.

Rest in peace my friend.

Thanks to everyone who attended this tribute. Even if you didn't play your presence was most appreciated. I have to admit this, was the first time I was never nervous to be on a stage. Having Harry's spirit with us and being surrounded by such awesome musicians put me at an ease. Paul amazed me with his bass skills. He didn't really know a single song we did but he nailed everything. You get the SEAL OF APPROVAL. Griff, as always, you kicked ass and it was great to see you and Apple again. Barry was laying down some super sick all instrumental leads that brought the house down. Of course John Stevens on harp. Need I say more about that. Hawk, Bobby, Ed, and Rob on drums. WOW. MJB and Colton busting out some serious blues riffs just like Harry loved it. And a very tender moment with CK and the Boomers alum and Griff with some mind blowing Fleetwood Mac tunes. Also Pat on bass with some great vocals as well. And thanks Jerry for sitting in on some Blues as well. Thanks to all for making this a special tribute to a special man. RIP Harry

This may be a morbid question....but does anyone know if Harry was buried or cremated? and if he was buried where?

At Harry's mother's wishes, Harry was cremated and there were no services. The family wishes not to disclose any further information.

I very much enjoyed meeting all of you at Harry's Memorial and while I did not know Harry as good as some of you the times I met him it was obvious he was a fantastic person!

I have not played in a very long time so I did not know many of you but you all made me feel very welcome!

Thank You!

Barry
