Patrons of BuckingJam Palace will recall his amazing recent April 2019 performance in Calgary featuring Harold playing so beautifully on the new Yamaha grand piano.
Harold's presence on and off the bandstand was an inspiration to all who those who had the opportunity to play music with him and hear him perform.
