Inspired by valley musicians like Kenny Hall, Otis Pierce, and Ron Huey, Harry began collecting tunes and immersing himself in Fresno's rich musical heritage.
*Kenny Hall was a "fiercely independent old-time musician" who passed last year at 90 years of age. He was an inspiration to generations of revival musicians in California.
