I know a number of Berklee students of th 70's are here on this list.
Who was Robert Harrigan? Did he publish any works?

Regards

I still have a few of his chord melodies from Berklee. As far as I know
he was just one of those Berklee carreer teacher guys. A nice player
doing a few days a week at the college as a teacher.
Steve Carter will fill in the blanks I'm sure.

As far as I know, Bob Harrigan is still teaching at Berklee. I haven't
seen him in a couple of years, but I am doing some computer consulting
for the faculty union, and will be in the school in the next week or
two, so I'll plan another "old-timers" get-together, and hope to see
Bob there.

Bob writes some amazing chord solos. Bob and I started teaching at
Berklee about the same time, and we had a guitar duo that played
regularly at a club in Cambridge for a while. Bob was also in the
William Leavitt Faculty Guitar Ensemble with me for a few years. We
played Bill's arrangements for 5 guitars - which are great - and we
did a concert in the Berklee Performance Center dedicated to Bill
shortly after Bill' death.

Bob's arrangements are harmonically rich and filled with moving inner
lines. Very hard to play; great educational material; very listenable.
Bob plays them beautifully.


>he was just one of those Berklee carreer teacher guys.

JUST!!! I hope you had tongue firmly implanted in cheek for that one!
