Good News on the Homefront

9/19/2017

Hey Everybody!
Very, very pleased to report my wife Laura and I received excellent news from the doc yesterday! An early birthday present for me, a little room to breathe... Onward!
Speaking of my birthday, haha, I am looking forward to playing a "birthday show" at Honey on 9/29, two days before my actual birthday. I may debut a new song- "Twilight Bill"- if it's finished in time, and will definitely play a new cover of Joe Purdy's beautiful on-the-run song "The Pretenders". Can't wait, hope I see ya there!!

Red-Right 88

Hey Everybody,
Below is a newly recorded version of my 20-minute (!!) ode to the Cleveland Browns "Red-Right 88". It first appeared on my record "Tape From Minnesota" (2004). I decided to re-record this song, started from scratch and, in addition to new vocals and guitar, I have added, with a little help from my friends, some tasty keys & percussion. This is a work-in-progress, and I hope to have some violin on there soon. But, as another Browns season begins, I thought I'd get this version out there. Enjoy! Hope everybody doing well and, Go Browns!! B0b
P.S. And- Good Luck to our baseball boys as they chase their record-setting 22nd win in a row! Jonathan and I have watched just about every game from our comfy Mpls basement. Cherished Father & Son times... kinda like those described in "Red Right 88", except Cleveland is winning! Bob

Hey Everybody,
I am excited to write that, after some delay, my record "LongShot Deal" is now streaming on Pandora. It joins my earlier record- "Nothing Hid"- and you can check 'em both out at my Pandora artist page. For those of you not familiar with the site, Pandora is a free site which allows you to create stations based around musicians you dig. Pandora will play songs by the musicians you choose to create your station, as well as by other musicians it determines share similar qualities with the ones you've chosen. Check it out, it's pretty cool, and I am happy to have my music available thru this site.
In other news, I saw a wonderful show by Joe Purdy last nite and got to chat with him for a little bit afterwards. He is a favorite musician of mine- yes, I created a Joe Purdy station on Pandora!- and it was a super cool evening, shared with my son Jonathan. Take care everybody! Bob
