It is with great pleasure I offer a small tribute to my brother, Bert Campbell. Bert got me started in the saxophone business about 10 years ago. He has always been there with encouragement and a helping hand when necessary.

My brother loves music — after 35 years in the business I think he has paid his dues. Bert has been involved with a number of bands over the years — mostly in Northern Arizona. If you ever head up Sedona or Flagstaff way just ask about “Toucan Eddy” at any of the big “watering holes.” Bert has anywhere from 7 to 10 members in the band depending on the occasion. The folks really get excited when he shows up for the 4th of July or New Year Eve’s celebration. Believe me when I tell you this, “these guys can rock the house.”

Bert’s got saxophone and brass players that get in the groove real fast. I love country music and whether Bert wants to admit it or not, he always ends up crying the “tunes” with a story, usually about a woman — you know — “She’s never been to Colorado on the back of a Harley” — “I like Spicy Women” — “It’s Motel time” — well Bert, it’s the truth!

My brother has written and produced 100’s of songs but I have an all-time favorite — it’s called “My Heart, My Soul.” This beautiful song always cheers me up; it’s a great dance tune with fantastic music and lyrics — plus it has some bitchin’ horns it. Give a listen. It is uncut and unedited, about 5-1/2 minutes long — if you really love it drop me a line. I keep telling my brother this song is one of his best “defining moments.”

I love you brother –

Bob
