venture that could go off the
rails at any second, which in my
opinion makes a band interesting
and somewhat dangerous quite
frankly. I’ll miss his musical talents,
I’ll miss the sound of his voice,
I’ll miss him digging though his
notes, looking for chord chang-
es of a song we haven’t played
in months that we have to play
“Right Now”. Mostly, I’ll miss his
creative spirit and will do the best
to keep that close to me in any
creative endeavors I partake in
moving forward.”

“When I think of Joe‘s influence
on Asbury Park, I am reminded of
the roundtable at the Algonquin.
Joe Harvard was like a lightning
rod for artists, writers, musicians,
and connoisseurs of the arts. His
life was unscripted and lent itself
to great exploration and experi-
ences, not just for himself but for
all those in his orbit. Joe was gen-
erous in giving others opportuni-
ties to express themselves creative-
ly. He tore down the walls between
artist and audience, making art
accessible to so many people, who
I am certain were forever changed
