    10k more pounds of `nanas!

    True story: I was part of a quartet of fans recruited to sing backup
    at a concert at University of Wisconsin-Parkside. Harry was doing
    one of his one-man shows to raise money for World Hunger Year -
    now WhyHunger

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WhyHunger

    I think it was Nov 11, 1976. Fans wanted him to do "Mr Tanner,"
    and he asked for volunteers to sing the "O Holy Night" part.

    That was great, thank you. (Never heard him before.)


    My "friends" volunteered me.

    After the first time through, Harry leaned over and told me I
    was doing well and should try to lead the group on the next
    chorus. I think he may have subconsciously recognized a
    fellow Lawn Islander. :)
