Bob began recording in 1987 releasing three early albums on cassette only. In 1991 he released his first cd titled Lifetimes and Ages. In 1994 he released his first cd with Grace Note, the trio he plays with, titled I Always Dreamed of Flying. In 2001 Grace Note also released The Fragrance of the Rose. In 1997 he released another solo effort, Keep the Light Burning. This cd has many guest musicians and three tracks with a choir. Some quotes about this cd:
"I love your music. Like wings it lifts and carries" Kay Robbins, Roseland Va.
"Bob, your music is a gift. As it fills my spirit with the light, it reminds me to laugh, live, and love." Linda Crist, Lynchburg, Va.
His lyrical content has always been chosen to uplift the listener and many songs come as if a gift of greater understanding is being offered for Bob as well as the listener. Sometimes profound, sometimes simple the lyrics will open tears, laughter and familiar smiles.
Bob's recent solo release,"Rivers From The Sun", is a compilation of instrumental selections that he has written in the past year. This cd is recieiving great praise from those who have purchased it. Bob performs all the tracks except for Nightshades which is a live track with his group Grace Note including Martin Scudder on electric violin and Tom Williams on acoustic guitar.
Bob's main instrument is the piano which he has played since his youth. His funky/smooth, spontaneous style has a distinctive character that has emerged over the years as he has grown as a player/writer. Bob often plays lengthy spontaneous selections and has "channeled" music for others during healing ceromonies, both vocal and instrumental.
Bob is a certified massage therapist and works with developmentally challenged individuals. His work as a massage therapist gave him understanding of what musical expressions enhance healing. The music on Rivers From the Sun came surrounded by the intention to be of use for relaxation, inspiraton, meditation and during massage and energy work.
Praise for River
