Album Notes

September 26 2002
Dear listeners and groovers

It gives me great pleasure to be writing this letter to you.

In spite of what The Guinness Book Of Popular Music says about me, on this day of September 26 2002 I am more alive than I have ever been. Perhaps by this you can understand why I'm not so hot on getting some one to write about me.

I would like to thank all of you who have ever walked in to a place, or a festival when I was playing. Whether I was a side man, fronting a band, or in a church or chaple. Thank You very much

Yea we(You and I) made it through the last millennium. This CD reflects some of my treaserd musical experiences of the 1970s through the 1990s. And once again I would like to say thank you to all of those groovin' musicians who tolerated me, supported me, and helped me get through those some times very difficult years. To name just a few which can actually be heard on this CD;
Lamon Scott -Drums Shigeru "C-chan" Inue -drums, J.J. Malone -Piano Stew Blank -Piano Steve Gomes -Bass, Bob Klein -Bass, Ron Tompson -guitar, "Bishop" Norman Williams -alto sax, Dave Smith -alto sax and flute, Mike Marcus -baraton sax, Warren Gale -trumpet, Al Malina -trumpet, Tricky Lofton -trombone, Sonny Lewis -tenor sax, Vince Wallace -tenor sax, Jim Curtis -cello, Harold "Pudgy" Attaberry -trumpet, J.C. -percussion.

And special thanks to Shakey Jake, Mamiko Atsumi, Charlie Musslwhite, Sunny Rodes, JJ Malone, School Boy Cleave, Sunny Lane, Arkansas Fats, Hirohisa Ishida, Atsuko Oura. All though some of these people didn't make it to the new millennium, I could not have made it with out theme. Yes I know that there are many many more, but that's all I can put in to this little booklet.
I hope that you will find something on this CD that you can dig. Oh yea speaking of diggin' it, you can find me at . That's all for now my good people. God bless you, and thank you for buying this Record.

Sincerely

Hi Tide Harris

REVIEWS

author: Rusty Zinn
THE HEY DAY OF HI TIDE HARRIS is a soulful experience documenting Tide's sound over the past several years. Tide's singing is passionate and his string bending is wickedly sweet at times and his phrasing on both are always dripping with bacon greaze! You can tell Tide has been a student of the Blues because his playing always displays evidence of certain influences, but he makes them all his own, putting the distinct Hi Tide stamp and sound on them which makes for a truly great Bluesman, which HE IS!!!!!!!!! Pick this disc up and enjoy!!!!!!!!!
