  • Bio

    .. .. ........ ..Leisure Class.. cds are available from ..www.leisureclass.net.... Also available from ....CD Baby.... and ....iTunes.... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Formed in Detroit in 1977 as Mr. Unique & the Leisure Suits, they got their start as the opening act for The Mumps (featuring Lance Loud) and local favorites like Flirt and Destroy All Monsters. In the following years, they managed to amuse, annoy, and antagonize all manner of audiences before finally releasing their four-song EP, ..Mr. Unique & the Leisure Class.. in 1983. The record received generally favorable, though puzzled, reviews from Dennis Loren in the Metro Times, who found "something to offend everyone," and Ira Robbins in Trouser Press. .. The band moved to New York, making their debut at CBGB in 1984, and evolved into the ever-changing ..Leisure Class.., launching a musical and visual assault on the comfort and sanity of those poor unfortunate souls who wandered into the East Village bars and performance spaces of the late 1980's and early 1990's. Their performances featured, at various times, legendary writer Herbert Huncke, a custom-built two-story prison, impaled goat's heads, and Abraham Lincoln. .. In 2005, Leisure Class was profiled on the National Public Radio show, ..Day to Day... "The Rise, Fall and Reunion of the Leisure Class" can be heard here:.. .. www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4811940.... ..

    What Becomes of the BROKEN HEARTED Leisure?
     

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS HOW TO MEND A BROKEN HEART ...

    "I can think of younger days when living for my life
    Was everything a man could want to do
    I could never see TOMORROW,
    but I was never told about the SORROW

    And how can you mend a BROKEN HEART?
    How can you stop the RAIN from falling down?
    How can you stop the SUN from SHINING?
    What makes the world go round?

    How can you mend this BROKEN MAN?
    How can a LOSER ever WIN?
    Please help me mend my BROKEN HEART
    and let me LIVE AGAIN."

    ~ Barry and Robin Gibb

    YOU WILL NEVER KNOW TRUE HAPPINESS UNTIL

    YOU HAVE TRULY LOVED, AND YOU WILL NEVER

    UNDERSTAND WHAT PAIN REALLY IS UNTIL YOU

    HAVE LOST IT!

      Jazz Legend Miles Davis

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM MILES DAVIS ...

    "Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself."

    "I don't care if a dude is purple with green breath as long as he can swing."

    "Do not fear mistakes, there are none."

    "Don't play what's there, play what's not there."

    “It's always been a gift with me, hearing music the way I do. I don't know where it comes from, it's just there and I don't question it.”

    ~ Miles Davis

    I AM RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS SUMMER - WATCH FOR IT @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TIME ...

    My Dear Friend Leisure,

    “TIME is FREE, but it's PRICELESS.

    You can't OWN it, but you can USE it.

    You can't KEEP it, but you can SPEND it.

    ONCE YOU'VE LOST IT

    you can NEVER GET IT BACK.”

    ~ Harvey MacKay

    THE GREAT PARADOX OF TIME ~

    NONE OF US SEEM TO HAVE ENOUGH OF IT

    YET EACH OF US HAVE ALL THERE IS!

    USE YOUR TIME WISELY MY FRIEND!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    Live LIFE With A PASSION Leisure!
     
       Violinist Joshua Bell

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT EMOTIONS ...

    "The question is figuring out the EMOTIONS

    of the COMPOSER, where he's COMING FROM,

    and then TAPPING INTO IT the same way an actor

    would in approaching a role."

     ~ Joshua Bell

    MUSIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.  IT ALLOWS

    US TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME EMOTIONS.  PEOPLE

    EVERYWHERE ARE THE SAME IN HEART AND SPIRIT!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    Sending LOVE to you Leisure!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT AGE ...

    "AGE is a case of MIND over MATTER.

    If YOU DON'T MIND ~

    It DON'T MATTER."

     ~ Leroy "Satchel" Paige

    Satchel Paige was a baseball player whose pitching made him a legend in his own lifetime.  He was elected to the BASEBALL HALL OF FAME in 1971, the first player to be inducted from the Negro leagues.

    He was the OLDEST ROOKIE to ever play Major League Baseball, and the first black pitcher, at the age of 42.  He played with the St. Louis Browns until the age of 47, and was signed to a contract with the Kansas City Athletics at the age of 59.  Satchel pitched his last game in organized baseball at the age of 60.

    WE DON'T STOP PLAYING BECAUSE WE GROW OLD.

    WE GROW OLD BECAUSE WE STOP PLAYING!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard
