"As a songwriter myself, I deeply appreciate Harold's ability to express profound ideas and feelings, using very simple musical and verbal phrases. The "Power of Positive Music" music Harold has created is a collection of songs which powerfully express all the positive feelings, qualities and experiences of life. Also Harold is a powerful and emotionally charged singer with charismatic presence on stage. He is so at ease with his audience that many of our congregants have said they always feel like he is singing directly to them."
