Memorabilia: This stuff won't matter to most, but it does to me.
Maybe some of these things were best left forgotten, but I found them and present them here for your entertainment, edification and amusement.
This is a collection of music, voices and much more throughout my life. I started playing bass guitar when I was 14 years old, and piano eight years before that. Here's a lot of stuff that you might find interesting.

Quality - Most of these were recorded with a desktop cassette recorder.

*A* Studio - Very good quality
*B* Portable multi track - Decent quality
*C* Reel to reel recorder - Marginally acceptable quality
*D* Home-grown - At least we have the memories
*E* Cassette deck - Almost non-acceptable quality, you can usually identify the song
*?* What they hell were you thinking - It was recorded, but it shouldn't have been

Construction - Local pool parties, etc

 This was my first real band. I had been in a few others, while learning to play, but this was the one that I really count as first. The sound quality is not very good, because all we had to use was my mother's cassette player. - Bob, Steve, Rick Hoover and Garth Pratt Construction - 1973 *?*

Moon - Professional Club Circuit Moon was the band which allowed me to progress to the next level. We were a professional group that played both the high spots, and the low.

Southbound: The Fun Band - Trio - Elks Clubs, Local bars, etc I'd also call this a professional band, since this was our major source of income, but it was a FUN band. We played good old Boogie-down Southern Rock.

To Robert... from me These are just a few things that I've collected that aren't worth anything to anybody but me... but it's my web site, and this gives me someplace safe to put them.
