He fondly remembered growing up in a time when you could walk out your door in the morning and play all day, coming home when the streetlights would come on at dusk.
From an early age, Bob showed a love for drumming. Beating on tables, using spoons and forks for sticks and pots and pans as drums. Eventually Bob’s parents bought him a drum set. A great day for Bob, a not so great day for his neighbors.
After high school Bob attended the University of Maine in Augusta. He enrolled in the Jazz program. He was a professional musician for most of his life. Sadly Bob was forced to stop due to a chronic wrist injury.
