In today’s episode we had the honor and privilege of interviewing local musician and woodworker Harold Greene. You may remember him from the cover of the San Pedro Today Magazine back in August 2020 which we encourage you to read (linked below) as you may realize you might already be familiar with his work. In our conversation he shares with us his amazing journey as a musician, as a runner and, of course, as an expert craftsman in woodworking. From early childhood, to his education at San Pedro public schools, to his time as lead guitarist in a local 70’s band called Titanic, and finally to his journey as a woodworker that started at Dodson Jr. High School and picked up again at the San Pedro public library when he borrowed a woodworking book, Harold tells us his incredible story.
