About Me

Listen: I’m just grateful to be doing what I’m doing.
Used to be I made these albums for my friends - once or twice a year - now it’s a bit more than that. Still feels the same ... ’cept I don’t see my old friends and family as much as I’d like.
This last one - "Aficionado" - is bonafide, sure enough. I’m only a small part to do w/ that. These crits and gals that helped me make sure are fine.
I’m about to step off of myspace for a while. But if THIS is your primary means of communication - I’ll be checking in from time to time. Cos I love you. If you need more detailed info go to www.leebob.com. Or just check out a record. It’s all there. And despite what the dude on NPR says - godblesshim really - this ain’t even close to my first record. So maybe listen to those others too. More is right on the way ... Hey, Peace. If you need a word of advice: 1) Be compassionate to others and yourself. 2) Look for HAPPY MAYFIELD in ’08. 3) VOTE OBAMA 4) BUY LOCAL ... if you live on the Coast between SC and SF, join the CSA at Blue House Farm. 5) BE & Dig.
Lee Bob’s new record "Aficianado!" available now for pre-sale, due out August 24th
