Stunned.
I'm in the UK so everything Phish-related is multi steps removed from what I'm used to reading on Phish.net and blogs but this one has touched me unexpectedly.
I don't generally listen to podcasts, I've never seen Parks & Recs or any other of the shows Harris worked on, but somehow (I'll download anything to do with Phish) I ended up with 2 episodes of Analyze Phish as literally the only podcasts on my iPhone.
Last December I was on a long drive (relatively speaking, this is the UK after all) and listened to both AP episodes. Didn't know what to make of it at first but ended up loving Harris's character, his love of the Phish, his humour, and his talk about rehab.
Fast forward to last Thursday, with nothing in between, and something made me put an AP episode on my iPhone, through headphones, in my drive home from work. I smiled that knowing Phish smile all the way home and wanted to sit outside my house until the episode ended, but I had hot food to take indoors.
What a shock to find out today that Thursday was Harris's last. Unbelievable. I never met Harris but he made an impact on me. RIP. 2015 Summer Tour's for you brother.
