We found each other through our common interest, music. Once he found out we had a pipe organ in our garage, he was over playing it. Little did we know that years later he would be married to Carol Channing, and that we would be playing organ duets in their living room as Carol cheered us on!<br />Harry has always been a great inspiration to me, and I have always had nothing but the deepest respect for the man. I will miss our heart to heart conversations and his council.I will always be grateful to him as being Carol's manager, for allowing me to be a creative partner in he and Carol's projects as songwriter,arranger,accompanist and producer.<br />Last but not least, I am thankful to have met two wonderful ladies that were the apple of Harry's eye...Carol and Missie! If he could speak to you two at this moment his words would be: "The Show Must Go On!"John Wyattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4995859198421662504.post-29791328704318404742011-12-27T18:50:22.127-05:002011-12-27T18:50:22.127-05:00Richard ,
