Gil Harris

Little is well known of the New Zealand-born friend of Tex Morton, who was simply sufficiently inspired by Morton’s achievement to visit Australia to record 4 edges for Regal Zonophone Information on 12 Might 1939. A talented yodeller (in the design of Goebel Reeves), he was billed as the Whispering Yodeller, as well as the recordings, including fine variations of ‘Accurate Blue Gil’ and ‘The Hobo’s Yoga’, recommended that he previously a great potential as a nation vocalist. However, immediately after producing the recordings, he was provided a post with work security beyond your music industry. Certainly recognizing the unreliability from the monetary side of existence as a vocalist, he approved the post and therefore disappeared from your music scene.
