After high school Bob left NJ with the band "Hot Fog" for California playing original music clubs like Malibu's "Topanga Canyon Corral'. The band had an apartment right behind the Hollywod Bowl on Highview Terrace. Bob's music has come full circle from the early days of playing the first guitar Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes church in West Orange N.J. and performing at C.Y.O. dances then through the rock club and concert years to the opportunity to serve with the Abundant Life Music Ministry. Through it all Bob has constantly worked on original songs and picked up recording skills. He has also completed recording courses at William Paterson University. This has helped him produce/engineer his own original music. This new CD "Grace of the Lord" tells of God's saving "Grace" and of His ever present help in time of need. Pastor Tom of the Abundant Life Church says: "God inhabits the praises of His people" This personal CD is a testimony of praise and worship songs that all can join in with. This praise and worship CD testifies that the gift of Jesus to all of us is a 'Glorious' gift from God and that 'God is Listening' and wants us all to call on Him.
