5,2008)Well, I know it is hard to believe but there is another schedule change at the Blue Belle. The change is I will not have any regular dates at the Belle for a while and maybe never. And once again I want to thank you for all your support over the years. Have a great new year and hopefully we can see each other as soon as possible.

HD Harvey was in his 11th YEAR performing AT THE BLUE BELLE IN GUTHRIE, OKLA. Harvey Derrick lived and worked most of his younger years on a ranch. He is a soft spoken, easy going Oklahoman who's performance, whether in the church, on the football field or on the stage, has gained the admiration, respect, and love of friends, fans and fellow veterans. Born September 23rd in Pawhuska, Ok, he was an all-star athlete. But, he joined the U.S.Army when he graduated from Edmond High School(Edmond,OK). During his twenty-one years (ten Active Duty) of military service, he has served in special services, logistics, administration, and was a member of the United States Army Europe Honor Guard in Heidelberg Germany with the 529th MP Company and a Senior Enlisted Records Specialist with the 130th Station Hospital in Heidelberg Germany.

After the army, he received a football scholarship at Missouri Southern State College, in Joplin Mo, and became the most prolific scorer in that school's history. He still holds most of the kicking records at MSSC, including the longest field goal, 57 yards. He was voted Most Valuable Player his sophomore year, and was high in the running for the All-American Team his junior year. He was inducted in the College's Football Hall of Fame in 1994. Hampered by a leg injury his senior year, he decided to go back to Oklahoma after receiving his bachelor's degree and start working on his songwriting career.

Harvey sang in churches all over Oklahoma as a child and was an End-Man, "Mister Bones", in a Minstrel Show for almost two years. He won first place in his highschool talent show, his senior year, singing two of his original compositions. He has performed at state fairs, clubs, show cases, restaurants, concerts, and many charity events from coast to coast, and appeared on the Louisiana Hayride, as well as live radio and television shows. He produced and hosted a thirty minute country music show that aired on local Oklahoma City television fifteen times in 1985, which was picked up by a satellite company and aired throughout the world.
