Hey Tracey, Bobby's a fine singer for sure. I had the pleasure of pickin' behind him in December of 2010 in Cartersville, Ga. at a big birthday bash along with Leona Williams & Ronnie Stoneman. I think Bobby's also a steel player himself, isn't he?........JH in Va.

Bobby is a Steel Player in fact he is a multi string intrument person..We had him play steel the times he worked with us...Always a gentleman and a real person..and with Bobby what you see is what you get,very approachable..I was a couple of years back going to bring him down to Florida but I suffered a stroke and stopped all the booking activities and music communications..I hope this Album reaches many and brings him back into the spotlight..."You Lay so easy on my mind is a classic",also recorded by many artist such as Andy Williams ,Conway ect...I believe this may be the third time Bobby has recorded it..

Back many years ago, long before "You Lay So Easy" Bobby came to our town to do a show. As an DJ at the time I had the pleasure of interviewing him on-air, then as an almost-bass player I got to play in the band that backed him locally. I guess we did OK. He called us a few weeks later and asked us to make a short 1-week tour back in Pennsylvania with him. We did and that's one of the most memorable weeks ever. He is a most pleasant human being and sings really good. I've got to get me one of these new CDs.
