Back in the Day:
From garage bands of the 60s, to the back to the land movement of the 70s, exodus from Dallas - organic gardening, solar energy experiments, hippy community, midwifery, babies. As Bob carried his guitar into the woods, reggae emerged as the conscious musical expression for the people of the world. As the new millennium unfolded, an eclectic reality blossomed into vast musical genres & fusions. And music, still as much as ever, is the weapon of choice, continuing to express universal truths & sounding the call for conscious change. And the back beat of reggae still courses through the vanes of Bob's music.
