Meet Harry S. Anchan from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The first time I heard America was in the early 70's. The song was "A Horse With No Name". Ever since then, I've been hooked. But what really made me a HUGE fan was the 1975 tour de force, "Sister Golden Hair". The genius of George Martin was unmistakable! I have a huge poster of America on my wall with George staring down at me! Then, it was "Ventura Highway" which conjures up visions of cruising down a California highway with the top down and the music up! A song that really touched me was "1960". Powerful lyrics! It makes me sad that the old cars went by the wayside. Anyway, I live in Canada and used to be in radio and the recorded music business for many years. My passion is music. I have a fair number of albums (got all of them free being in the record business), and one by the member who is not forgotten: Dan Peek. You're going to find quite a few America songs on my Favorite Songs list!

My favorite America songs are:

#1. Sister Golden Hair (the remaining are in no particular order)
Daisy Jane
Today is the Day
Foolin'
Venture Highway
Inspector Mills
Muskrat Love
Right Before Your Eyes
Special Girl
Riverside
Tall Treasures
Woman Tonight
You Can Do Magic

My wife (who is not into music the way I am) and I have three children, the oldest being 12. They enjoy the same music from the 50's to the 80's that I love (check out my favorite songs and groups - in the hundreds, at the link given above) along with today's fluff . Of course, my walls are covered with posters, albums, CDs, cassettes and open reels on bookshelves, stacked up all the way up to the ceiling, and enough audio/video gear in here that I have to move everything out into a bigger room soon:-) You can check out the 23,000 songs, most of them pop, at my site. My life has been intertwined with music since I was a child (as my father is a singer/composer/musician with albums of his own in Asia) and America plays a big part.

I am a Desktop/Network Specialist in the I.S. department of a very famous worldwide computer giant. My hobbies are too many to list here.

Feel free to send your comments or questions to Harry.
