Joel Bernstein, the co-owner of Nuggets Records back in the day, turned me on to the music of Harriet Schock in the 1970s. Her album Hollywood Town is a masterpiece that launched a Top 10 record for Helen Reddy, "Ain't No Way to Treat A Lady" as well as the title track being recorded by Manfred Mann.
In 1991 at a music convention in Hollywood I met Harriet, May 12, 1991 to be exact. Phoned Jo Jo Laine and my VR co-host Lisa Cavanaugh's friend and mine, Jaime, who was dating P.F. Sloan at the time, the songwriter famous for "Eve of Destruction," "Where Were You When I Needed You" (The Grass Roots) and other 60s hits and met up with her. Like Jo Jo Laine said, it was a magical time.
The next evening, Harriet gave Jaime and I a concert in her home on May 13, 1991 performing songs from Hollywood Town. Hollywood Town had a direct inspiration on songs I wrote for my first album released in Paris in 1978. Harriet's chord structure amazes me as does her sense of melody, use of the right lyrics, she's an extraordinary artist.
Last week, March 23, 2020, I interviewed Harriet for the Medford News Weekly.

The publisher of the Somerville News Weekly was on my TV show twice in October and November of 2019. I said to Bill that Medford needs a newspaper with the Medford Mercury dissolving.
And here we are - public access TV from another town, in essence, brought a new newspaper to Medford.
And that is the power of public access television.
