One of the Midnight North family’s favorite Bobby stories came when we played The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, CA on November 3rd, 2017. Both Bob and Phil we’re gracious enough to join our little band on stage that night in our hometown. We had a slew of other musicians joining in on the fun that night including a horn section we pieced together – one of the first times we made that happen live. We were excited to say the least. When we told Bob that we had a horn section for the night he said nonchalantly, with his very own, unique Bobby wit: “of course, because horns on the weekend” like it was some sort of industry-standard practice that every band did! Needless to say, we loved that! We thought it was hilarious and we referred to that that phrase countless times from then on.
As Elliott described so well in her posts we also performed “Only a River” that night with Bob. It is such a beautiful song and probably our favorite collaboration with him and Midnight North, even if it didn’t have the horns. Take a listen below.
Love ya Bobby, rest easy ❤️❤️❤️
