History

Bob was born in West Germany before the wall came down. He also lived in the Netherlands, Maryland, Virginia, Argentina and Utah. He has been writing songs since he was nine. He studied piano for 2-1/2 years as a child, playing such classics as Scott Joplin and Beethoven. When he was in Argentina at age 20, he borrowed a guitar and started learning how to play, at the same time playing the organ for the church congregation. Moving back to the USA at 21, he borrowed another guitar and started with folk music like Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan, and graduated to songs he'd written himself. A few years later, with an electric guitar, he formed the local alternative music band
