10-12-09 H: Roy Harper
“There once was a man from the old stone age…” Can’t believe I haven’t written about Roy Harper before! Can’t find a blog for him in my index!
I think I got interested in him in the very early 70’s, because he was on Harvest Records in
Harper is a major British singer – songwriter who appeals to both the hard rock and progressive rock crowds. He has regularly worked with Jimmy Page, for instance (though I have been far more impressed with Chris Spedding’s work with Mr. Harper! Witness “The Game” on “HQ”!). He’s probably most famous either for singing “Have A Cigar” by Pink Floyd or for being the Harper in “Hats Off To Harper” on Led Zeppelin “III”.

Chris Spedding: The Jimmy Page for people with taste! Sadly, I've only seen Mr. Spedding live in 2001 with Roxy Music as 2nd guitarist. I saw their first US date in Camden, NJ and Mr. Spedding was the proverbial hot sh*t! Phil WHO?! By date #5 in Atlanta, wrists had obviously been slapped. His playing there was timid and supportive to Mr. Manzanera.
