I sang "Mama" (from memory! Holy cow?!) with a somewhat tailored lyric for the funeral of a dear, sweet 88-year-old woman who was the 'Mama' of all 100 people in the room today. It was magical and uplifting, and I thought I'd share it with you. Thanks for such a marvelous and powerful song.

Today, for the first time, I heard one of your songs from your Rosebud album and was blown away. Your voice is so very soothing, clear, and on pitch. Thanks for making my day.

Thank you for your kind message. The master rights to the CD this song was on belong to a record company that has changed hands many times. It would up to them to issue these vinyl records on CD. Unfortunately, I'm not permitted to do it but I can send you an MP3 of the song if you'd like. |

Your lyrics to Don Juan Triumphant together with the music by Misha Segal are unforgettable. Where can I purchase the music and lyrics? Your gift from God is awesome!

Looking for the lyrics to "Take My Hand" from the movie Matters of the Heart. Of course, you can't hear them in their entirety during the movie as some of the lyrics are covered over with actor dialogue.

You Know I Was On This Website When I Was Younger. I Added A Message To Your Guestbook. Now Back Then Times Were Different For Me. Now Days I Sing Songs And Act In Front Of Huge Crowds Of People. I Kind Of Wonder If I Owe That To You. I Mean, At Least A Little Bit. I Guess When I Saw Someone With The Same Spelling Of Last Name, I Kind Of Thought, Hey, I Can Be A Great Musician Too! So, Thank You. Austin James Schock

How nice of you to give me partial credit for something you did on your own! I'm happy we have the same last name. And I have family living in Austin, Texas. It was fate! |

Hi! I think your music is great! I really liked the song in 'Matters of the heart', can you please tell me which song it is please? Thanks!
11 July 2006 - UK
It's called "Take My Hand." I wrote it with Bob Nicksic and it's not on any of my artist CDs but I plan to put it on my site so you can hear it if you like. Do you have the DVD of the film? |

Harriet, I am so dissapointed that this will not let me post my message to you. It says "looks like a website" but there is no website in my original message, and your email address in the back of Becoming Remarkable is no longer valid! So sad am I who can't express to you what I really need to say. which is, I guess, thanks for the great book. Sheesh.

Stevie, I'm glad your original message got through to me at harrietschock@earthlink.net and it meant a lot to me. Thanks for writing me such kind comments. |

Hi, Harriet: Just wanted to say hello to you and congratulate you for having not one but two tunes on the latest Helen Reddy anthology. Have always considered Mama one of your finest compositions & Reddy does it wonderfully -- love hearing it without those pops & crackles of the ol' LPs! Hey, saw a jpg of your smiling face on helenreddy.com; hence, this hello. Big love to you, Mark

Mark! Thanks for letting me know you saw that and know about the cuts. She has a new book out that's really good, as well. Thanks for stopping by! Love back to you!

Thank you for writing "Becoming Remarkable" I just finished reading it for the second time. If ever in my lifetime I read a book a third time it will most likely be yours. Thanks again for all the great insights. Be Well.

How kind of you to take the time to write this lovely remark. I'm always thrilled to hear from people who have read the book. |

I really liked your detailed analysis of ABBA classic "The Winner Takes It All" published in Songwriter magazine in the early 1980s.
I wonder why you don't have this article here on the Website. If I remember correctly, you had some other articles in the series Anatomy Of A Hit published in Songwriter.
Best of luck to you!
19 May 2006 - USA
Dear James,
Thanks for remembering that. I don't even have a copy, I suspect. Since then, I wrote a series of 48 articles on songwriting that were published around the country and later found their way into a book called, "Becoming Remarkable--For Songwriters and Those Who Love Songs." You can read about it on my website. Thanks for stopping by! |

Hi Harriet -- hope all is going well. I know we only had a few minutes to speak at the premier of Answering The Call, but I just wanted to thank you again for the incredible contribution that you made to this very important documentary. In "Everyday Heroes", both you and Geoff Levin, have captured the true spirit of Ground Zero -- a spirit that will live on forever for those of us who spent time there on the pile. Many, many thanks, and perhaps I can persuade you to write something for the new documentary "Angels on Liberty Street."
You're the best, angel.

It was an honor working on this film. It moved me more than I can say, as it did everyone who saw it. I hope it is viewed by everyone eventually. Just let me know what you need on the new one and I'm there. |

I just want to thank you for your part in the "Gina Concert for Missing Persons Webcast on Sept. 28. My 18 year old daughter Joanna is one of the missing persons from Texas. She's been gone 16 months now, and it is a comfort to know that there are still people out there thinking of her and trying to bring her home.
God Bless, Kathy and Joe Rogers

I, too, would like to know the lyrics to "Don Juan Triumphant." I have absolutely loved that song for years - and thought I was the only one - but a quick web search has shown me that other people are as drawn by it as I am! Perhaps you could post the lyrics somewhere on your website? They are so passionate and romantic - what a great song! Thank you!

Hello Harriet,
I can see from your web page that you are doing well as would be expected. It has been many years since we have been in touch, but I think of you often. My attempts to E-mail you in the past have failed, but I didn't try your web page until now. I miss those early years of demoing your lovely music and performing them live as well. It would be great to pick up where we left off and continue to make beautiful music together, but I am 3000 miles away now in Garner, NC. I look forward to your reply and playing catch up, but for now, know that I am still singing. God bless you and Happy New Year!

Harriet,
Gosh, my dear friend, it's been awhile since we've spoken, I'm still searching for that 'perfect' voice to sing some of your songs but to be perfectly honest with you, NO ONE, has that beautiful passion you share with us and the world. You still bring tears to my eyes everytime I hear you music......you are not just 'talented' you are the definition of Talent. May God continue to bless you..........

Just wanted to stop by and thank you for the inspiring article in Muses' News on wit, reality and songwriting. It puts into words something that I have felt but struggled to clearly identify and express in my small forays into teaching songwriting and, indeed, writing.... (I am an English teacher with a penchant for songwriting) Your thoughts have a broad application to creativity and meaningful communication. I wish I had more of it myself but I can certainly recognise it and will be better equipped to encourage it. Thanks again!

Dear Harriet,
We all have pivotal people in our lives, people we come in contact with and change our lives forever. You are one of those people in my life. As an ex student of yours from a few years back, I too lost touch with you but never lost the valuable things you taught me. I have recently written novel to be published soon. The skills you gave to me as a songwriter I was able to transfer to fiction writing. You taught me the importance of economy with words. In songwriting one has to say as much as possible with the least amount of words. And of course the other thing you instilled in me was, re-write, re-write, and re-write again. In transferring these ideas to my novel I believe I have created something of value. Thank you Harriet. Sincerely, David.

David, it's so nice to hear from you and to be remembered so graciously. Congratulations on your novel! |

Dear Harriet Schock,
I am a german screenwriter.
Last year i board your first Album Hollywood Town at an nearby 'Flohmarkt' - that is an open-aired marketplace for used goods. So, that is not very flattering, your two songs 'Hollywood Down' and 'Straight Man' really reasured my what doing art is all about: Be yourself, do your own thing, give as much as you can and do not fall for the common definition of success, sucumbing to mediocore achievments (as you sing 'play it dump, play it safe, and they ask you to play it again'). Besides that, your other songs really evoked honesty during writing.
Unfortunately mass media seems exactly to be this way. However, there are those great people in this 'business' we have to find out, people we respect and can work with. I had allmost forgotten that i already have my own definition of success. As a screenwriter, i observe all these television shows, ans ask myself what the hell they are all about. We do not need to have high culture in TV, but hey: At least i wanna be moved really deep down, when i watch them. The conveiance of deep, true, sometimes contradictional emotions, thats what we need. And thats what you gave me. I big hug of 'Thank you'.
Yours
Olaf
I Hope to buy more of your CDs (I even got the LP!) and someday visit your seminars. I have no experience in writing songs whatsoever, but hey, thats what we here for. To learn.
Should you ever teach in germany, please write me an e-mail. I would be the first to attend. It's a beautiful country with great (however broken traditions) especially the 1920's.
Why not visit the 'http://www.filmschule.de' webpage? They do not teach songwriting, but it's a good starter for connections.

I belive that you helped Misha Segal in writing some things for the 1989 movie 'Phantom of the Opera'. Am I correct to think this? If so, do you know where I can find sheet music to the Don Juan Triumphant song that you wrote. If not what are the lyrics?

Hi Harriet,
I'm not sure if you have received the emails I've sent, strangest thing, only your email address but I am working on it, I listened to your song & watched your video, 'Okay, You Win', totally blew me away...........absolutely beautiful, I cannot listen to it enough!!! Your website as well is one of the best I've ever seen. I love it that we both use the rose logo, I guess we're just two classy ladies, LOL. Harriet, I feel honored to be able to record your music, thank you.
Sincerely, Monica

Please contact me at your convenience. Thanks Harriet, Sincerely, Monica

Hi Harriet,
I truly appreciated the time you gave me in the TAXI mentoring session last Friday. It was great to see you after all these years, and the more I got to thinking about the Cecilio & Kapono gigs I did with you, the more I remembered: Helen Reddy was in the audience at the Ala Moana Hotel when you performed, and her husband got thrown out of room!! I know the percussionist was there, and I think a female keyboard player (Marie or Mary Kane?) and I played acoustic guitar & perc. with you, and then keyboards with C&K. That was 1980! I am just starting your book, and am so impressed with your wisdom. The CD is great too. I hope you are enjoying some of the material on my Demo as well.
Thanks Harriet

I had Marie Cain with me. She's an awesome singer and songwriter.
I'm really enjoying your CD. You were wonderful then and you're wonderful now. Talent never goes out of style.

It was a pleasure last night to hear you. I've known of you for years, Sherry (Herbie's wife) gave me your Rosebud CD and I have enjoyed that immensely. I was a musician for awhile also, bass player, used to be with the Phoenix Symphony, but I haven't done much in a long time. Hearing you makes me want to pull my bass out again, thanks, Harriet.

Thank you, Becky, and I'll pass along the compliment to my extraordinary bass player, Joe Lamanno. |

please forgive a beginner writer for being afraid of being in the same computer realm with such a marvelous artist as yourself. As you can probably tell by now that the person that is writing this is very honored and priveleged and nervous at the same time . I believe you're great and hopefully I hope to meet you and learn from you. Thanks so much for being a great influence in my life as well as a great inspiration to a guy that is just starting to write. Thanks and God bless you
