Bob Harrold, and the joy of Sax...

I'm almost ashamed to say this, but I haven't heard Bob play in a couple of years...YEARS !!!
I will say this though, when folks around here talk about the saxophone players, Bob Harrold's name is usually one of the ones on their lips.

I have a few heroes on my chosen instrument...everybody knows that I love David Sanborn, but there are a few other folks who aren't nationally known, but I hope to make that a little different for my readers.
Bob Harrold is, as well as being a great saxophone player and a pretty fine singer now my neighbor; living here in St.Albans just down the street from me, so he and I get to chew the fat quite a bit these days; and I'm sure that you can guess what is our primary topic of conversation... WOMEN!!( just kidding, I wanted to be sure that you're paying attention.)
I first met Bob in 1994, when we shared the stage at a benefit concert for the late great Charleston drummer Frank Thompson. It was a fun day to say the least, and it seemed like everyone there that day brought their own greatness to the table in honor of Frank, but when Bob went to play all I heard was him, and all I could say was WOW !! His tone was sweet as sugar and his playing ability was inspiring. I remember saying to myself, I don't wanna follow this guy, so it's pretty good that I can sing.
Since then, Bobby and I have been fast friends often sharing stories of bands and the road, and our mutual joy of sax. He has given me lots of encouragement as a player and as a friend.
Bob's beautiful wife Karen (who doubles as my personal banker) keeps me in stitches telling about Bob and his ever changing playing schedule. Karen says "I quit trying to keep up a looong time ago, he says I'm gonna be here or there, and I say OK honey, whatever."
Right now Bob is sort of in between bands, he's playing with a band called Remix, but he also is on call with others.
If you want your saxopohone players hot and your music cool, then Bob Harrold is your guy on both counts, he's a hot saxophonist who's cool, and he's a hot guy who blows a cool sax.
One other thing that you can count on is that when Bob Harrold is in the house, that house will probably be shaking to its foundation because this brother blows as hard as a sledge hammer.
Be sure to catch Bobby where ever the woodwind blows, because his noise is truly joyful...you'll be glad you did.

Catch Bob Harrold with Remix locally.
