Hello,
I'm married with two children (mine) and two more by marraige. With six grandchildren...I've literally played out in the public since about 1965 or there 'bouts and finally had enough of that in the 90's. I'm from a family of 9 kids and of course, the oldest.
My music has grown alot to include most any style of writing. You name it other than the new stuff, and I've done it. Alot of changes throughout the years is all I can say. However, my favorite was always folkish because the words always said something or told a story. The social comments are pretty neat to hear from people when tactfully done in a pleasing way to the ears. I play a number of instruments and enjoy doing so......Music is me! My father and mother sang quite well and us kids always enjoyed the times we spent together as a large family with little to no money. We never missed what we didn't have which is the truth. I'm totally amazed at what makes it on the charts , radio and other,,,and I don't have the time to work the system to get there anymore. So that's why this is fun and yet serious to me. If something comes,,,great! If not,,,it's been a nice ride.

Wonderful:
On Friday Oct 16 I was let go from the City of Anoka after 30 plus years of service. No severence, no anything,, it's all gone. They promised us oldsters a package we wouldn't refuse. Well, it's nothing. Other cities across the State did while this one is the most heartless and inhumane cities across the State. Bitterness is what I feel within me. Hence my posting of my song "Used to be Mine" on Saturday morning. Give a listen!

Here's to You Tom....:
Tom transplanted himself and his wife in Florida for health reasons. We played in a band together since I was in tenth grade and had the best of times as best friends. The worst thing about age is that though our hearts are young,, our bodies are not,,, so all we have are the memories. It was great to see you in 2006 and yes my friend... You are missed up here in Minnesota. Good Luck down there in the warm land..BOB

[last edited on Fri Oct 30, 2009 @ 10:40 AM] Hiya Bob...Thanks for droppin' by and leaving the kind words on "Born in 1950". I guess it is rather BBBish, as it is a traditional Chicago style song. Didn't know you were a long time blues lover. I know i am...and like it says in the last verse...."when i'm feelin' weary, i come home to the blues". I find comfort there in hard times. Guess you do as well. For every door that closes, one opens i believe...
rock on Bob...

Hey Bob, wanted to let you know that all is going well. Always great to hear from you. I've actually put music on hold for a couple of years. I have a fantastic 3 year old and a 4 day old little girl. I've been itching to write and record again - so there may be some new material out there in the near future. Best of luck to you....

Hey Bob,
I saw your post on my Sister Rosie's site.
Your news and outstanding song shows a lot of disappointment and frustration.
Which is very understandable! You did not deserve that.
You will prevail my good Man! Stay with your music! You have outstanding talent. It helped Me, and it will you too I'm sure.
Jamey
