In memory of Robert (Bob) Sauer 1953-2020

We were sad to learn today that Bob Sauer died on December 1st, this last week.

Bob was an active member of the taiko community long before most of us took our first taiko classes. He experimented with joining Harisen in the early days, soon after our first performances, and has been a regular donor, moral support, and has been nothing but encouraging from day one. We still have the collection of resources he gifted us on taiko, tradition, and his plans to create a taiko group called Nimachi-Kai.

Bob was a recognizable, and consistent part of our local taiko community. We know that we here at Harisen Daiko will not be alone in missing or mourning him.
