The Mark Twain of Kids Music


Last week, 2- time Grammy nominee Bill Harley attended the Tish Hinojosa show at the Narrows. That's him with your humble blogger. Bill is the one without glasses.

Although it was his first visit to the Narrows, he's been a huge presence in the Providence area music scene for decades, founding the legendary Stone Soup Coffeehouse.

He's also one of the first people to step forward to aid a good cause. Your humble blogger helped produce a couple of benefit CDs over the past decade and Bill was one of the easiest people to work with.

You may know Bill from his contributions to National Public Radio's "All Things Considered," but he is best known for his high quality kids' recordings, which earned him a couple Grammy nominations.

Entertainment Weekly wrote "Harley might well be called the Mark Twain of contemporary kids' music."
