Before their daughter, Holly Ray, was born, he was a member of many rock and roll bands, singing and playing the saxophone.2:00Harold made amateur recordings of many of his songs, and now they are something his family has to hold on to.2:06Having part of him, even if it is just his voice, really helps. It will help to carry on his memory.← Location 284Heart Three · Location 285Location 286 →
