If its the same guy he is a NYC singer/songwriter. He wrote some tunes for Nora Jones so he is doing pretty well these days. He has a deal of his own and tours with a trio. Real good musicians. I see them around town and bump into them on the road.

Smiley....There was a steel player in Dallas by that name, and he was a great swing player. I haven't heard anything about him in years, but last I heard he was living in a small town not too far from Dallas.

It says here that Jesse Harris will appear tonight on NBC television's Late Night With Conan O'Brien.

Well, I am a "Jesse Harris",
and unfortunately I didnt write those tunes for Norah, but I do play steel guitar, so I have that going for me, which is nice.

Jesse, is it my imagination or did you just sneak in a reference to Caddyshack? I almost bust a gut laughing!!!

STRIKING

And, as for Jesse Harris, the composer of "Don't Know Why" and other tunes from the Norah Jones CD, it's my understanding he's a native NYC guy, as Bob pointed out. Has a band called Jesse Harris and the Ferdinandos.

Larry Bell · Post by **Larry Bell** » 15 Oct 2003 10:35 am

yup i did the Garth tribute,
but please don't hold it against me,
I didnt have any idea how to play PSG
at the time, and I was playing a fender 1000
with no knee levers. It was purely for the check. my apologies.

Larry Bell · Post by **Larry Bell** » 15 Oct 2003 3:42 pm

So, to recap
* there are (at least) two Jesse Harris' in the context of this thread
* one is among us -- he is 'LA' Jesse and his dad Greg played with the Burritos. 'LA' Jesse also played on one or more steel guitar tribute albums in years past
* the other one is a NYC dude, 'NYC' Jesse. He's in with Norah Jones -- wrote more than half of the tunes on her Grammy album and has a band that works out of NYC

I was confused, at least partially because I heard lap steel or maybe it was slide guitar on a tune or two and suspected 'NYC' Jesse might play steel. Now we know THE REST of the story.

. . . wheeew!
