Harry Nilsson was how I got to The Avett Brothers.
Thank you, boroblues.
He's dead and he was kind of crazy, but his earnestness and the beauty of both his lyrics and his voice were instrumental to my loving music when I was young.
Songs like....
Without You.
Coconut.
...and his covers of
Sail Away
and Many Rivers to Cross.
I could go on and on.
I taught small children to love people undiscriminately , thanks to The Puppy Song.
Corny? Not at all.
Harry Nilsson. I really really liked him. And still do. I won't forget his music and its influence.
