Harry the Guitar Player


8 episodes


Solo Slice of life Serial Audio Book


Synopsis:

Harry plays for French fries and onion rings at the Crybaby Bar. He once travelled the world in private jets and played his guitar to sold-out stadiums. It's the Crybaby Bar now for the Tuesday Open Mic and the Thursday Wing Night before retiring to his army cot at the Tarantula Arms. Harry has a plan though, a come-back. He is about to record a new song, one that he held back on (he didn't write it), a song that says it all, ‘The Cannonball’.
