HAROLD BLACK

We are very pleased to congratulate Harold Black on becoming our newest "Musician of the Month".   Harold has recently returned to the Jams after dealing with some medical issues and we are so happy to have him back.  

Harold was born and raised in Dauphin and has lived in Brandon for about 7 years now.    He has been married to his lovely wife, Phyllis since 1951!!!    They must be doing something right...

They have 2 daughters and 2 wonderful grandchildren and Harold loves being a grandfather.  He says "If I'd known grandchildren were so much fun, I would have had them first"

Harold started playing and singing at the tender age of about 6 years.   He couldn't resist music after hearing Wilf Carter and just had to figure out how to do that.   He now plays 6 string acoustic, 12 string acoustic, piano and harmonica.

His band experience includes playing with Gordie & Pearl Carnahan for a good number of years.

Harold loves attending the Jams and claims that it does his heart good to be a member of Westman Jams.   We are certainly glad he is and we look forward to many more of his tunes.
