In October 2008, friends and family collaborated on two CD compilations for Harris’ memorial. This one is a collection of Harris’ classical and new music compositions.

From Zachary London:
Lauren said you were trying to compile every recording Harris ever made. He played on two Hard Taco songs, both in 2007. “Girls Are So Neat” is the first HT song Harris played on. That’s Russell [Schwartz] doing the backup vocals on the later choruses. This [second] one is called, “Only a Man.”
Finally, I’m not sure if you have any use for this, but this is a song that is sort of ABOUT Harris, although he doesn’t play on it. On several occasions, Harris told me that his favorite Hard Taco songs were not the old-timey or celticky ones, but the all-out rockers. He enjoyed this song because it reminded him of one of his favorite bands, Weezer, and because he liked the idea of being personified as a criminal.
A crappy version of this song was first recorded in 1996, shortly after I met him, but the version I’m sending you was a remake from 2003.

setlist from february 2000 at fez
Here attached is that setlist I mentioned, not sure how I had it in my files but glad to share it with you. I remember that double bill at Fez as a hectic, beautiful and fun show (with Ismail and Basya).
By the way, I know there are many possible spellings of Sharqiya & I’m afraid I’ve labelled this file wrong, was this a setlist for Sharqiya [Sharqija?]
