About Me

Bobby has known Neil since he was born. These sons of Adam have made up many songs together, the first was called "Never Be A Daredevil" which were the only lyrics in the song. It was number 1 for a year in Lesotho before being knocked off by the soundtrack to the Lion King 3: White Man's Revenge, written and performed by George Michael. They never forgave him for that, but you can't blame him for having talent or being attractive, which they're not afraid to admit, he is. It has been said that musicians are the clergy of the modern world, that would make these boys Clergymen, (that, and their name being "the Clergymen"). They write all their own songs, some funny others not, they can do BOTH kinds. Many people enjoy them including; Sean Kross, Rory Drummond, Taylor Ferrera, Emily Bruner, Aaron May, Riley Clermont of ESPN, Kailey, their parents, Aunt Gayle, the conductor of the National Orchestra in D.C., this one girl whose party they played at, and Kevin Howard. Also, they are feverishly looking for a lead guitarist who has a good ear for part singing, and can bring some of their own songs to the table, oh yeah, and preferably one whose last name is Mikkelson. They've been recording a few songs at the college "Full Sail" as of late and they sound very good. They enjoy playing, and listening to minor four chords and are excellent music theory students. Both of their fathers were in the not quite Broadway-bound epic, Ben Hur..........(the musical) whose investors included baseball great Orel Herschiser who has been quoted as saying that his experience with the ill-fated show was the nadir of his life. Also, Bobby's grandfather was the superentendant of public schools in Minneapolis for five years before being forced to resign. They plan on being assassinated sometime before the age of 90. Keep looking for new songs that they post. They are very picky eaters and prefer their drinks to be iceless. If you want to hear more of our songs go to our garageband site listed on the left.
