Kostis remembers when Harvey took the stage in 1985.It was open mic night at Hilarities, in Cuyahoga Falls then.
“The manager said you want to give it a shot? He went up and he killed it! Well he was bitten and he never looked back,” said Kostis.
Harvey, a native son of the CLE graduated from Glenville High School in 1974 and has an old school friend in Glenville classmate, now Coach, Ted Ginn Sr.
