ALL THINGS HAVE A BEGINNING
The compilation of the original CD began in the 1950s when a little boy began taking piano lessons. That little boy was Harry B. Sprott. At the age of 8, after studying music for a year, he wrote his first song. Harry says, “I still play it to remind me what started it all.” Since that first creation, Harry B. has written hundreds of songs (lyrics and music).
+++++++++
This body of work was created by Harry B. and his all-star band of local musicians. Seldom will two songs have the same line-up of musicians. Combinations of different players are what sets the JukeBoxBabies apart. Harry B invites you to give a listen: “As with any good dish, the proof is in the enjoying. So dive in with both ears and ‘Come on along! We’ll drop you off at who you wanna be.’ (from South Street) If you like what you hear and you find your toes tapping and your ears smiling, stick around. There’s a new juke box in town and it’s playing the songs you’ve been waiting for!”
HI, This is Harry B. and I wanted to take time to talk directly to you, our fans. It's been my life's work to try and make my surroundings better thru the arts. I've written and had poetry published. Painted and sculpted, winning prizes for my efforts. But nothing gives me more joy than sitting down at a piano or with a guitar and writing a new song. I've always told people the real thrill is when it's done and I sit back and hear it for the first time. Because when I'm writing it, I don't really hear it, not yet. Too much is going on in my mind at that point. I always try to have the tape rolling or some sort of recorder turned on to capture the moment. Yes, you can go back and play it again, but it's never quite the same as that first moment you play or sing it. That birthing process where it all begins to form out of what's happening at that moment, may it be the way you are strumming the guitar, or the tempo on the piano, maybe the random notes that you strike, either by intention or mistake. These all shape what's happening. I try to start a new song with a chord I haven't used lately, perhaps a progressions will form itself or I'll play a series of notes and there I'll hear a bit of a melody start to show itself. But mostly, I turn on a recorder, play a chord or two and just start singing along. Usually it's done in a few moments, start to finish. I can usually tell if it's going to be good or not by the speed I'm going. It's a feeling I'm immersed inside of, and I'm just a part of a chain, much like a speaker in a radio. It produces the sound, but lots of other things are happening to make that sound come thru the speaker. I don't like to say I channel myself or something from deep places in my subconsence, but in all reality, that's pretty much how it works. The less I think about it, the better the results. I'm always amazed when I sit back and hear the new song playing back. To me, it's a high I can't get any other way. Sometimes I sit and write a half dozen songs in one sitting. I quit worrying years ago about following up my last song, or if the well would ever run dry. I know I"ll write more songs than I can every record and that bothers me. I'm sure I've written plenty of bad songs, not really any good for anything, but of all the songs I've written and continue to write, the majority of them are in my opinion pretty good and there are literally hundreds at this point in time. People have always told me I write clever lyrics and memorable melodies. That my songs are catchy and have a good feel to them. I'm glad people agree with me on that, because I always thought my songs were good. Not all of them, but some of them. And some are even better. I want to thank anyone still reading this because you are interested in me and my creativity and for you and myself, I will continue. Besides that, I could not stop even if I wanted to, much like breathing. It's what I am, who I am and what I believe I am supost to do with my life.
