About Me

---CLICK BAND WEBSITE LINK TO GET A COPY of "The Blues is Life" -----------------I believe that my friend, singer/guitarist Perry Jones, set me free when he suggested that I should not analyze the music emanating from the stereo in my head. In a conversation which I was expressing concern that one of my latest tunes stepped out of the boundary of the blues genre, Perry consoled, “Nobody can tell you what your blues is supposed to sound like Bobby.” As if I needed further confirmation, while playing the Greenville Bar and Grill in Dallas, TX one night, Dallas Blues legends Hashbrown, and the late great Sam Myers were in the audience. Hashbrown approached me on break to say, “I dig the new tunes.” That was it, a songwriter was born. Between the confirmation of my mentors and life doing what life does, the next decade was a songwriting rollercoaster.
