A Picture 's worth a thousand Words.
I can only say how glad all of us are that he has had a successful recovery, and that we can all wish we had as many good friends as he does, as witnessed by the turnout.
I can't say any more than the picture does.
Hopefully more will add theirs.
I'm as happy about his recovery and success as I have been about anything in a long time.
More Pix as I get time.
MANY GREAT Bands and pickers.

Yuppa, he sure is back. We threw a "Harley Party" today to thank him for all the great music he has given folks over the years, and also celebrate the fact that he IS still with us. It was a great day for all who attended. Some really fine bands played, and probably most important, old friends got re-aquainted. There was a HUGE turnout...Harley and Diane felt the love. It was a day they'll never forget.
Thanks for the picture Eric. He's lost 20 lbs, is eating better and looks 15 years younger...well, mayber 10.
There were a good number of steelers in attendance, which was expected. For all the Forum members who attended, thanks!

Yes, Harley looks (and sounds) great. I'm glad he's doing so well.
Thanks to Mike Winter for putting together this benefit show. There must have been 300 people in attendance. A very successful afternoon of music by a whole slew of talented musicians. Well done, Mike!

Thanks "Mike" and "Eric" for your major contribution. We all wanted to know.
How can one guy have so many friends; lose weight; play so good; and, be so pretty?
Just shows you........Practice, practice, etc., doesn't guarantee anything!
Okay Harley........happy you're back and do take care. |

Well I certainly did nothing but show up in grubby work clothes, play a little, push a button and send his picture here. Pushing buttons is little or nothing.
If anybody has any reasonably sized jpegs (pictures) for the guys in Gervais, I'll be glad to post them here or elsewhere on my server.
My thanks to to Mike Winter for putting it all together as a Show of REAL Friendship rather than any lesser thing.
Harley only got paid part of what we all owe him, and from what I read in his face, it was mainly his friends Showing Up.
