The Seemingly Endless Saga of Harry Aldridge (AKA "Bootleg") Cont'd
1980 - 1982 "Look Ma, I'm A Beatle! "
by Harry Aldridge
Mark and I were contacted by aliens? No! We were contacted by old friends of Mark to join a Beatlemania production out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We used my recording name and called it, "Bootleg - A Tribute to The Beatles". What a thrill and challenge it was to perform the songs of my idols every night all over this great country.
After a year, we moved our home base to Atlanta. After another year of being on the road with the production company, I was burned out and ready to stay at home with my family.
1982 - 1989 "A Cold Turkey In Atlanta"
I hid my guitar underneath my bed and became a dealer of collectable books and records. I was a full time husband and father for the first time ever. Nice!
1990 to Present
I saw John Adams, old Bushmen band mate, at a Paul McCartney concert in Atlanta. John had kept The Bushmen group going for all these years and we decided to do it again.
I moved to Brunswick, Georgia in 1990, and I've been playing ever since for conventions, dances, concerts, etc. We play the music that we grew up on and I love it!
I've built a studio, Abby Road South, behind our old 1880's Victorian house and I've got my second wind at writing and recording again.
Lifes' Good On The Golden Isles!
But It's Good Anywhere -
When You're The Center Of The Universe!
"Let It Be!"
Love,
Bootleg
