Harry Nilsson

As a musician, I absolutely admire the musical legacy left by Harry Nilsson.  Having grown up watching "The Courtship of Eddie's Father" back in the 1970's in reruns, I was introduced to Harry's music.  I really didn't know who he was for many years after that until I stumbled upon a copy of Nilsson Schmillson that had been ripped from an original Quadrophonic recording into 5.1 surround.  I loved everything about the album!  The keyboards, vocals, drums, bass lines etc.  It has been etched into my consciousness as a perfect album.  I finally listened to "The Point" the other night while working on some artwork.  It too is a work of art with a nice touch or sarcastic wit and imagination.  It brought a smile to my face with it's ironic sense of humor.  Originally, I thought that since there was narration on about half of the album that it wouldn't be as strong.  But it really works and the visual picture he paints works well.  I really enjoyed the groove variations between the actual songs under the narration.
