Reid Harrison was a writer and television producer, known for The Simpsons (1989), George & Leo (1997) and Disenchantment (2018). He died on 15 January 2024 in the USA.
On Saturday, April 13th, The Dimeslots reunite to pay tribute to the life of our long-time friend and bass-player, Reid Harrison at one of Virginia’s hottest entertainment destinations, Flat Iron Crossroads (FIX). FIX is located a couple of miles from Reid’s Gloucester home, and is where he frequently volunteered. There will be food, drink and TONS of fun and memories!! We hope you can join us!!
The Dimeslots, est. 1979, were born in the W&M freshmen dorm room of Ed Lull and Brian Mount when Bill Williams joined his across-the-hall mates to play some rock and roll. Keyboard player Mike Shields (a teammate of Ed and Brian’s) had already expressed an interest in forming a band and had some bumper-stickers and a farfisa organ. Within a couple of weeks the group started playing regularly in the nearby girls’ dorm Barrett where there was a piano in the lounge….
By the following Fall, Reid Harrison joined the band and we went “electric”. Before the end of the year, Neil Sherman and Gary Littlepage joined the band. When Gary left the area, Bill Grossman stepped in to carry the load. Then, about 10 years later we asked Deeme & Shep to play with us too, and by then we pretty much let anybody else join…
Still playing after 40 years..
