The Journey to 100k Subscribers!

[@bobreynolds]

If you've been on this journey with me for awhile, THANK YOU! If you're new, WELCOME! I read ALL your comments so let me know below how you're doing and what you're up to! I want this channel to be a conversation with you and I'll post my next video in a week.

[@codfather6583]

Gz on the 100k! i'll keep subbed, because everytime i feel the resistance, i know that at least one other is also feeling it - see you in a week, maybe

[@danielryanmusic]

It's been a blast being here for the past 11 years Bob keep going!❤

[@Orlando-wn4uc]

I can't wait! Your energy is contagious man... keep it coming. Happy Holidays, Bob.

[@Frauter]

Amazing bob! 🎉 This channel was what got me into tour studio for several transformative years. Thank you man you're a star. Shimanto

[@alexanderhelt738]

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE ALTISSIMO IN THE INTRO AND HOW IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE A FLIPPIN SOPRANO SAX LIKE WHAT

[@FoolishFrankie]

HUGE congrats man!! If anyone deserves this it's you. You've been a massive inspiration to young musicians (AND content creators) like myself all around the world. So excited to see what you put out next year! Happy holidays to you and your family!

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks, Frankie! ;) You're crushing it, dude. I look forward to our next "coffee talk" meeting at some point.

[@chocolatte629]

When you’re not a professional, but a serious hobbyist player, it can be hard to keep the fire burning. Finding practice time, keeping a band of busy adults together, etc. Because we love the music and want to be part of it and enlighten ourselves with the constant discovery that jazz brings. More than your great playing, your positive attitude is always a source of encouragement and inspiration. Thanks.

[@Stevecollinsclear]

beginner sax player - at 65 yrs old- your channel is INSPIRING. much respect

[@jorgelopez9620]

Big congratulations Bob!

[@a.j.nicoll477]

One small step for Bob, one giant leap for the music realm

[@konafama]

Awesome. Among all the great lines and thoughts. Your daughter is amazing!!! How wonderful!

[@smudar47]

Congratulations my eternal teacher.

[@ScottPaddock]

Congrats Bob!! 100k is a huge accomplishment.

[@JensLarsen]

Congrats Bob! Your channel is incredibly underrated!

[@bobreynolds]

thank you, Jens

[@jameshodges293]

Bob, I’ve been following you since I was a music student in college. Now I have a family of my own with a 7 month old baby and finding time to shed and gig in my small rural town is tough. Keep on keepin’ on! Your playing and vlogs have always provided inspiration to me!

[@willschmit]

Yes let’s intersect at the corner of music and life! Congrats my friend!!

[@koho]

Well deserved, Bob! And a very cool look back. Guitar is my thing, and yours is the only music channel that I follow outside of that. It is always interesting, always fun with stellar production, and always with broader applicability. I may even buy you another hot dog someday.

[@karamelptcg]

Man It's been...years. I was a freshman in high school when I first subscribed on my old acct. Time flies.

[@bobreynolds]

it sure does!

[@darrenosley85]

Your daughter has a fantastic voice.

[@bobreynolds]

thank you. she's really something!

[@mattdasilva]

One of the most generous, authentic, and talented humans out there. Thank you for sharing your art with us, Bob - and so happy to see your kids thriving as well :) Huge congrats on the milestone! See you in the studio.

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks, Matty!

[@haroldmsimmons]

Congratulations Bob, As a fellow Sax player, you have been an inspiration to me man. Keep doing it man.

[@noahesills]

WOW time is flying. I’ve been watching these vlogs since 2017. The videos were a motivator for me in my college years, just to see the bts of a professional musician with a family. Thank you for sharing your journey man and congrats on 100k, Bob!

[@Orlando-wn4uc]

The videography is always incredible. I'm super excited for next year!

[@johnp5771]

Congratulations Bob. I’ve been with you about 4 years. Love your playing, your idiomatic nimbleness , and the humble way you share your amazing talents. Thank you so much. Hope to see you live someday. Putting a plug in for the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. Got spoiled seeing , Becker, McCoy, Bellson, Hargrove annually but Things ain’t what they used to be in our current generation. Maybe the business model changed? Hope you have a great 2024.

[@Shukaweli]

Bob, you are amazing dad, musician, husband. And following your content for the past 4 years was magical! All the insights about music and life and how to handle small details and barriers through out life, is something I always look forward! Thank you for every video and I am excited to see what will 2024 brings us, your fans. I wish you and your whole family all the best!! Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia! Ivan

[@davidblazye9408]

Hugely deserved for all your hard work Bob! Congratulations. You may live an ocean and a rock away from me but you remain one of the most important teachers I've ever had and an inspiration. It was a total pleasure to meet you in person at your gig last year. All the best to you!

[@jazzbrew68]

Man -- your daughter is incredibly talented! Congrats my friend on all of the success and thank you for allowing us to witness part of the journey. Thanks for smiles and inspiration.

[@jamiemeansjamesmusic]

Bob, I know you probably know this, but its Jamie from the 2019 Inside Outside Retreat. I'm happy to be one of those 100K for quite a few years! Thank you for all you do for the saxophone community. I am very thankful for being given the chance to meet you, hear you and learn from you during that retreat. I had arrived there thinking I'm not too bad of a player, and it was a rewarding experience to find out from you and the others that there's more work to be done, always something to work on, and something new about music I can learn at any given time. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me for the past decade and a bit.

[@bobreynolds]

Hi Jamie!

[@talentunburied]

Bob! Dude ok Kid ya all look so bright and cheery and Confident in your Video Design here! Telling your Story combining humor, clips , more humor and you are really being open too! Men usually have a struggle doing that me being a man but you have discovered some important things in it all! Maybe Jesus Maybe Love maybe how gifted you are! I hear Stan Getz, Metzger and Brecker, maybe some Turrentine! I remember hearing one Snarky cut "Outlier" maybe and your Measures of 32 maybe said you had been some Personal Tenor Storytelling to do in a matter of fact kicking the dust up everywhere! Congrats on all your JOYS in your Life. From being so involved with your Wife and each Kid to Teaching and Playing with Heart Thought and Humility! Love on Ya! Merry Christmas...I had worked at a local CBS Radio/ Audacy Radio Station for 12 years and left in 2020…..Country Music was the format and People love it! I'd gamble that Brett Eldridge would kill for an Awesome Tenor like you... Bet ya Five Dollars. Lord Bless- Adam

[@bobreynolds]

thank you, Adam 🙏

[@frankzona5459]

Hey Bob, a well deserved accomplishment. Here's to more great Vlogs and another 100k subscribers.

[@MrPorenstein]

yes bob. you got me gee'd up with that last nugget. here weekly

[@anthonymulcahy2051]

Love 5:50 where son digging the harmony.

[@joelpierson2628]

Congrats Bob. I am sincerely happy for you, and I can't believe your children are eight and twelve! You are the pioneer of the family. I hope I live long enough to witness what your children accomplish.

[@anthonyshirah8330]

WOW little dude has grown.And she is awsome

[@rhamses]

Congrats Bob! I was thinking about your channel yesterday hahah. Congrats on the family and for inspire many of us here. You taught me to love the Tenor sound and I still amazed how magical feels when you talk and make music. I'm here for more 1M subs!

[@samuelbrown434]

hahaha i tell myself that every year: this is the year i'm going to learn a dozen more standards.... but really 2024 is going to be the year! I knocked out some pretty good ones this year like Along Came Betty and Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, so i'm feeling pretty inspired! Congrats Bob! I'm so happy to see this channel going strong. I remember back when i found you, i watched your a capella Donna Lee video and that was the one i used to learn the melody by ear. Just having the sax by itself really made it easier for me to process and start getting into transcribing for the first time. It's been a ride and i hope it keeps going and picks up another 100,000 riders!

[@matthines6932]

Amazing Bob! Big congratulations, so deserved !!

[@joeprovenza4794]

Congratulations, Bob! Very happy to be part of this journey! Keep the videos coming!🥳🎷🥳🎷

[@EricSeijo]

That's awesome! I've been a subscriber since the early days and your videos always leave me inspired. Also, wow, daughter's so talented and it seems your son is not far behind :) Huge congrats, looking forward to more!

[@alexanderpotts8425]

You're the best Bob. Love it

[@billpatterson8997]

Bob, I have been a subscriber for many years now, and what strikes me is that I’m surprised you don’t have a million subscribers. When I first discovered your channel, I admit I OD’d on your VLOGs. I went back to your first one and watched them all. What is so unique about your videos is that you uncover all kinds of “secrets” for playing better, while addressing the reality of balancing your art, your family and your business. There are all kinds of “self help” videos available, but none compares to yours. Also, there are so many artists, including Grammy recipients like yourself, that are caught up in their own self importance. You are not one of them. May the New Year treat you well. Congratulations!

[@HezronHezronHezronHezron]

Thank you for always being so giving with your time and selflessly sharing your knowledge and experiences as a husband, dad, and Musician. The ideas and opinions you shared during your vlogs really gave me a whole new perspective whilst I was trying to hustle it out at music school. Thank you and congratulations.

[@nicktiberimusic]

Dude you are an inspiration! Congrats on 100k and best wishes to you and your family in 2024! You gotta have Hudson do the KZbin Play Button unboxing when it arrives! 😁

[@bobreynolds]

that's a great idea! (hopefully they still do those buttons)

[@bcmsax]

Great to see life is treating you & family well Bob. Knowing we will have more content coming in 2024 is the best Xmas present. Enjoy the holiday season. 2024 is the year ✌️

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks, Liam. Merry Christmas to you!

[@marcosavalente]

Congratulations. Your videos are realy wonderful 🎼🎷🎶👏

[@StephenB_LE9]

Greatly appreciate your videos and huge congratulations on the 100k subscribers

[@Rickard-Nygren]

Woah!🎉🎉

[@tommydoggettsaxophone]

Bravo to you, your family, and this incredible journey you’ve been sharing with us. I’ve learned so much from you on your channel and your saxophone studio. Thank you so very much.

[@frizzzzzzal]

60bpm baby

[@jeffreywilliams61]

Congratulations Bob on the milestone. From El Cid, Zigzag, Sugar club, TivoliVredenburg, Riverside studios and Clamores. Every gig was an absolute blast. Thank you for everything you do for musicians everywhere. Much continued success to you and your family.

[@bobreynolds]

🙏 Jeffrey

[@NathanSMadsen]

The "You just hit a 100k subscribers, Bob, what are you gonna do?" "The dishes cause the kitchen is a mess." bit literally made me LOL. :) Congrats, Bob on a great milestone! Love your content and your playing. Thanks for sharing with all of us and happy holidays.

[@Timbrink09]

Congrats Bob! All the best.

[@stacys447]

Congratulations! My son and I enjoy playing the saxophone, but like others said if you aren't a professional, it can be hard to fit this hobby in. Thanks for all the past videos and any you find time or the mental bandwidth to release in the future. Congratulations on all the milestones!

[@jakaahacevcic1812]

Congratulations Bob!! What a milestone. You are a true inspiration! :D

[@bclare2544]

Congrats on 100k Bob.

[@okayfine6342]

Hi Bob! Been following your channel for a while, I love getting insight into your practice strategies and what you're doing because I don't think professional amateurs (me) get to see what it's like! I think it's easy to mythologize the "pros" and not really understand that you're human too, just with a lot of practice... Since I started watching years ago, I finished college with a double major (one in music!) and do my best to play and enjoy my horns. Bari has been getting more and more addicting lately, and I'm thinking that since it's not my career, I can move away from alto/tenor and really enjoy whatever speaks to me! I can't do multi-hour practice sessions, but I've never gotten worse as I got older, only better. I just have the rest of my life to keep enjoying music :)

[@bobreynolds]

Love this! And what a great mindset. You absolutely can do it that way. Bari is so fun. As Joseph Campbell said, "Follow your bliss."

[@NunoVH]

Congrats on the milestone! Your channel has always been about "the intersection of music and life" and that's what makes it unique amongst many other music KZbinrs. Also, that opening to Syzygy rips!

[@saxsjp]

Congratulations Bob! Saw you in Mesa with Snarky Puppy in September and you were all wonderful. Cheers to another 100K! also holy crap your daughter is a very talented actress!

[@billiongenius]

I wish there was a way to see what subscriber number I was. I think it’s probably 15,000 ish. Glad to hear you’ll be making videos - I’ll be following. But, family comes first of course.

[@serenasantoro5382]

🎉🎉🎉congrats Bob see you in the Vstudio!

[@richlabedz3978]

Congrats Bob!!!

[@michaeldavis9954]

Thanks for all your posts. They never cease to inspire and... more importantly.. make me smile. I recommend your channel to everyone who will still listen to me talk about saxophone.

[@ejzeiberg]

Congrats on 100k Bob!

[@calebelzingamusic]

Congrats Bob!

[@eljayb67]

Life is beautiful :)

[@JudahDaniels]

Thank you! Your vlogs have been inspiring me for many years :D

[@peterisancverins]

LETS GOOOO!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kirktracy]

Congratulations, Man!

[@BartoHomy]

So happy to be one of the 100k. Your channel (Along with Janek's, wich made me discover you) has been a constant source of ideas, inspiration and motivation to practice and move things forward. I hope this milestone will help your channel reach more people!

[@kariward7552]

Congrats Bob- you’re so deserving! That was fun watching your son Hudson’s reaction to 100,000…

[@kwolenberger5202]

Congratulations. I enjoy your videos. They’re very informative. By the way, your daughter is very good! Best wishes keeping up the work/life balance.

[@michaeladeyemi2751]

Thank you Bob for taking us through this beautiful journey, you are inspiring.

[@keyboard8173]

I found your channel today, and I love it!! I am so excited to see the videos you will make in the future🎷🤘

[@johnweber1757]

Congrats!!!

[@bobblues1158]

Beautiful Bob!!

[@blackcatwithahat4088]

Thank you, Bob. I am from Berlin, Germany and I play tenor and baritone. I've formed a Brass Band some months ago in which I play the baritone. That is fun, but also very different from playing the tenor. I want to learn to create a routine which incorporates both instruments and all aspects, because I am a bit lost at the moment.

[@mk59apr]

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! love your channel

[@davidrossharris]

Wow, cool that you do music, I just thought we were all here to see Ryan Reynolds's better looking younger brother. Congrats on all the success so far!

[@bobreynolds]

😂

[@Capa791]

Congrats ❤

[@stanislawrybinski]

hey, Bob! I found your channel through Janek years ago, and seeing your struggles, discoveries, enthusiasm, love for music and much more in countless videos I've watched has made me appreciate music more, has helped me to learn more and get a deeper understanding of music (and some aspects of life, too). thank you for the videos and the music you make! huge congratulations on reaching 100k subscribers!

[@bobreynolds]

Wow, thank you!

[@3163steve]

Lots of interesting stuff and you play and teach Congrats

[@jonahwalt]

Congratulations!!! It’s so cool to see you hit this milestone. I’ve grown up through high school and college watching every single one of your vlogs. You’ve been such a massive inspiration for me in my playing, and you’ve shown through example that you can do whatever you put your mind to. Thank you so much man, congrats!!!

[@robbalderstone]

Huge congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks, Rob!

[@Houmannbass]

Love all your stuff! This video is best 🙌

[@stepheneson4107]

Love it Love it Love it Love it. My biggest takeaway from this video is that you are successfully (whatever that word means) navigating the conflicting demands of family life with a musical career-- no easy feat. And it shows in the eyes of your highly talented and curious kids. Your music is important without a doubt; but it really serves a wider purpose as well. Thank you so much for sharing. (PS, my last SP concert was at the Ryman back in May. Looking forward to seeing you & the crew out on the road again)

[@bobreynolds]

thank you, Stephen

[@BobDoherty]

Congrats on hitting 100K! Love the channel and always excited to see new material. Also, WOW! Your daughter is so talented! Seems like she's on her way!

[@dadberndi]

Thank you Bob and congratulations to this milestone! You have inspired me as an old beginner both inside your virtual studio and I would love to see more content on how to approach standards at all levels of playing. just a short snippet of an idea on a regular basis would help and motivate enormously. All the best from Switzerland!!

[@bobreynolds]

Thank you and thanks for the specific idea. That's good to know and helpful to me!

[@michaelcaldwell7107]

Happy Holidays to you and your family. You are such an inspiration and your honesty is always refreshing. Thanks for all your content.

[@bobreynolds]

Thank you, Michael.

[@patriciojofre8531]

Thank you for sharing your jazz life with us Bob, and congratulations 🎊 for the milestone. I think I started to watched your channel around 2014ish, when still I was a full time scientific outreach journalist in Chile. Today, I'm 50 years old, and a second year student of bachelor of music in a polytechnic in New Zealand (I'm majoring saxophone). For many years I wanted to get deep into music, and you have been one of the important influences in keep my dream alive. I'm looking forward to see what's the future of your channel.

[@marieke4521]

From the Netherlands: thanks for all the video’s Bob! I learn a lot about playing the saxophone, working out gear and I love to peek inside your family life. Keep posting please!

[@dexgor]

Bob, your channel and lesson studio has been a true inspiration to me over the years. I appreciate your insight, your values, your integrity and your amazing musicianship. Keep up the Great work and I can't wait to see what the future holds for you, your channel and your family.

[@bobreynolds]

thank you, Dexter 🙏

[@nora1172]

Congratulations 🥂 Beautiful video 😍 Merry Christmas 🎄

[@GeraldDeLoachMusic]

Congratulations on 100k! Besides being an incredibly gifted musician, your video editing and video quality is SO good! I think we all clamor for videos from you because all of your videos are so beautifully crafted. Your playing, as always is also amazing! Thank you for sharing your gifts and have a blessed 2024!

[@bobreynolds]

Thank you, Gerald 🙏

[@jackwalker1069]

Love this

[@bobreynolds]

Hi, Jack!

[@petersisler2099]

Bob, it's been fun watching this sax-based video ecosystem grow. It's truly become a haven for all things jazz music, which sadly has lost traction in the broader culture, or maybe not so sadly. Anyway, I'm a huge supporter since I saw you at the Baked Potato in July a couple years ago (totally on a whim while I was solo camping out in Malibu). You have helped me learn that there are few things in life more satisfying than playing the tenor sax!

[@bobreynolds]

thank you, Peter!

[@thepartimemusician65]

Congratulations Bob, great news

[@MarcKellerSax]

Congrats on the 100k subscribers, I'm so looking forward to you posting regularly again!

[@DecrontheWarrior]

Huge congrats!!! I've been following you for 6 years now and even got the chance to see you live here in the UK. Excited to hear that more videos are on the way, and enjoy the play button!

[@bobreynolds]

Thanks so much!! (idk if they even do play buttons anymore LoL... if I get one I'll let ya know)

[@zangsax]

Thank you so much Bob. Your quite an inspiration in many ways!

[@m.garvin5227]

It is fun to see your family on this journey with you. Thanks for sharing them!

[@ahem9934]

Congrats! I always felt that your vlog series really was something else. The insights you provided "at the intersection between music and life" as you so wonderfully put it were really valuable and the editing made each of them a piece of art. You deserve those 100K subs and I'm positive that your vlogs and music will remain as something important.

[@bobreynolds]

Thank you 🙏

[@tripwillie2]

Congratulations on 100K !

[@bobreynolds]

Thank you!!
