Never ever a fan of his country stuff but he was a superb guitarist. Some of his riffs/solos on the Bruce Johnston 'Surfing Round the World' lp are mind blowing.

RIP the 12 string guitar man

Harry Beitzl passed away yesterday

Rest in peace, Harry. I probably owe Harry an apology, for all the abuse I sent his way as an umpire in the 1950s. Now in 2017 the league is up to three and in some cases four umpires, but ac cumulatively they can't do as good a job as you Harry.
Condolences to your family

I grew up listening to Harry on 3AW as a young lad. One of the best callers on radio along with Bill Jacobs and Tommy Layiff bringing you special comments from the boundary line and the change rooms at the end of the game.
Beitzel would say to Layiff "Are you there Tommy" and Tommy would respond "Can you hear me Harry" classic radio.

A few years back on 'You Tube' i found the 3AW Radio call by Harry Beitzel & Bill Jacobs of the 1989 Grand Final.
Spine tingling stuff, one the best calls i have heard ever, makes you want to go out and run a marathon, maybe not. I will settle for a Avocado Sandwich here at my desk.

Rest In Peace Harry Beitzel .................

He was also advocating for only six grounds and a national competition back in those days too.

Harry Beitzel was certainly a Maverick in his day.
