Bob came to Colorado from Kansas in 1977 to work for Hewlett-Packard doing R&D on computers and operating systems. He still works there part time and spends the rest of his time juggling the seven or eight bands he plays with at the moment. Bob leads the Montgomery Jazz Group  on organ and piano, and runs the Tuesday Night Sri Thai jazz combo. He also plays upright bass in honky-tonk country group Trucker's Daughter and he's on call to play middle-eastern drums for wife Nancy's Bohemian Caravan belly dance troupe and her belly dance classes.

In Cowtown Bob plays upright bass and a variety of keyboard and button accordions and is an integral part of Cowtown’s musical invention “Squeezegrass,” combining accordion and banjo in the same songs!  Although this is probably illegal in a lot of places, in Cowtown it fits in just fine!
