[Skinny12]

Good morning!

We just released our latest episode of our Podcast!

This time i did an interview with Lee Harris which turned out very nice, because he is a lovely guy and had many nice stories to tell. We really hope you like it!

About the Episode:
In this episode, Nils Zehnpfennig meets Lee Harris, co-founder and guitarist with supergroup, Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets.

Wow sounds like a good one! Can’t wait to listen!

[Lew Harper]

Another great listening. Many thanks!

[YYZ]

Excellent listen.
Lee is easy to listen to.
He just talks and talks.

[Simond]

Very interesting. Thanks, Nils. Did you meet up somewhere? The quality is excellent so presumably not Zoom or phone.

[Jose_Floydian]

We met online (would have visited him in south france but…) and the quality was mediocre but we both had backup recordings on our local system so i put it together later

Another fantastic podcast. Great to hear from Lee. I met him briefly on April 1, 2019 before the show.

[DaveTheRave]

Great interview! Sounded like a normal conversation and not a crazy fan fawning over someone famous. What’s the secret to getting band member to talk to you?

Interesting story about him deciding not to chat with Roger after the Beacon show. What do they say - “never meet your heroes”?

Hi, i was a bit nervous mainly because of my limitations concerning the English language and technical issues like not recording it properly. Didn’t want to put him into a bad situation where he regretted accepting it.

He was very nice from the first moment, so we had a short chat before we started and a longer after.

What would any of us do if we noticed Roger standing in the back of the room watching the show. Assuming he's not surrounded by bodyguards preventing any contact, would you go up and say hello?

[DaveTheRave]

I would lose the opportunity by trying to think of a clever thing to say before approaching him.

Maybe something like: “Hi Roger, just want to say thanks for all the great music. It means a lot to me.”

Funnily enough, I found myself in exactly this situation back in the early 2000s at a gig in Ladbrook Grove. Harry (Roger's son) was playing in a band where a friend of mine was the drummer and I found myself standing at the bar near the back of the room next to Roger. I decided not to say anything and just respect the fact he was there to watch his son playing.
