Apr 1996

2 Santa Cruz concerts ago (I think) I was the "heckler" who "Yowwed" a number of times. Although Mathew-Bob tried trading places and I waved my hand, you couldn't see me. Just wanted you to know, that I meant it in fun (o' course), loved the 9:30 show April 27th, laughed hysterically over the stage arguments, and generally enjoyed myself tremendously. Hope to see you soon. Especially since I only buy your CD's directly and only have 5 of them so far.

Loved the Santa Cruz show, as always. But next time skip the folk music opener, OK?

I've seen you several times at the Iron Horse, Northampton and in Cambridge, MA. I did a lot of collegiate acappella singing and now sing lead in a barbershop quartet called Just In Time. The best audience comment I ever received was a few months back when someone said I reminded them of Janie Bob. Wow, I floated home ...

We are those three guys (the gal's not here...) who danced and made you laugh at your concert tonight (Saturday, April 27th). Of course, we don't know if you're actually reading this. Mebbie I shouldn't use Second Narration, eh? Ah well. Anyway, We were the crowd that did 'that movement' during Unchain. And the hats! Don't forget the hats. Now you *must* know. (Joe Bob shook my hand! OH MY GOD! AAaaaaahhhh.... ) (*smack, smack*) (Sorry about him. He won't be doing that anymore.) I know, you're bored by now (if y'all are actually reading this), but that's okay, because purple elephants are neat. (Uhh, yeah...) Right, anyway, thanks for the killer concert! Your groovin' fans, Fritz, Sir-Cut, and Ficus -- The Flaming Cow. (No relation.)

(My browser beeped when I tried to enter the state -- CA) I liked the show in Berkeley last night (4/19/96) a lot. But it struck me as kind of undisciplined. Lots of good riffs, but sloppy transitions. Loved the instrumental solos! - Dave

Dear Bobs, I really enjoyed seeing you all (again) on sunday night (4/14/94) in Cambridge. It is always fun to hear the new tunes and I picked up Plugged while at the show. I guess I was swayed by your subtle suggestions. You know, Sanders theatre is a functioning church. You can tell you are in Cambridge becouse there are condom dispensers in the mens room. I must say, although I greatly enjoyed the show, I was a bit miffed by the mix. Durring most of the show, I could not hear Janie-Bob. She may just have been resting, but I think she was actualy singing; her lips were moving. I also have a comment about the time before this last one when I saw you. I very much enjoy your version of Disco Inferno. You made it into an audiance sing-along and that was a lot of fun. It seems to me, however, that rather than just singing "burn baby burn"(repeat and fade), that someone (the audiance and/or you, last time just my wife and I) should sing "disco inferno". As in "Burn baby burn, Disco inferno". This, of course, is more of a stylistic choice to consider rather than something which must be done. So, I have noticed that Jamie-Bob is the only one who changes outfits at intermission (I quite liked the checkerboard number she had on early in this last show). Why don't we see the rest of you in a variety of costumes, perhaps brightly colored satan jumpsuits? Thanks again for a fun time, John

Thanks for helping keep acapella cool. I have seen you at Wolf Trap a few times and have enjoyed your shows. I know that your Helter Skelter won much acclaim as an arrangement. I would like to look at a printed arrangement just for fun. I sing primarily Barbershop, and have arranged a few tunes, and am working on my arranging skills, and am looking for any and all influences. I don't want to perform it, or to incorporate any of it into any of my stuff, would just like to see it. Any possibilites? PKL.

I've loved your music since we lived in Sacramento area 87-88. Got to "see" you at Ravinia near Chicago a few yrs ago, though there were so many people there in the park we could only stay back in the picnic area & listen to your performance piped over the speakers. Any future appearances in this area (Chicago-Milwaukee)? Bruce

I manage the Vacaville Performing Arts Theater where you are scheduled to perform May 11. It's a sweet hall - 500 seats, excellent acoustics and a crew who knows what they're doing. We're close to Davis so that local FOBs at UCD will likely come to both shows in the area. Looking forward to this engagement!! Very Much. VERY VERY MUCH.

I've seen you guys in concert twice at Dartmouth College There's a small circle of Bobs fans in our area, most of whom are in our local orchid society. I love your original tunes, best! How can I order shut up and sing on CD?? I lost my cassett. Can't wait for your next original tunes CD; I've listened to all of your albums, and you get better every time. Missed you in Keene NH. -- Bob Bob, for Bob-Bob, Susan-Bob, and now Robbie-Bob Heitzman

First saw "The Bobs" on a tribute to the Beatles broadcast a few years ago on network TV. They did "Strawberry Fields Forever." It blew my mind. I've been a major fan since.

Hi! I used to catch IsoBobs on poor reception television late at night when I didn't know who you were. Since then I have almost all your albums, and I've seen you in concert at the Sanders Theater. I'm hoping to attend the next one on Sunday! Hopefully, my buddies, 5:00 Shadow, will be there, too. But about IsoBobs, are there any videos available? How many shows did you do together? What happened to them? Thanks! -a dancer who's a big fan.

To quote Cole Porter, "You're the top!" Seriously, I'm the musical director of a coed a cappella group here at Wesleyan University and you guys make it look so eeeeeasy... Besides the fact, it's refreshing to hear original a cappella w/flair. Many of my friends are convinced that a cappella is only a vehicle for cheese-factor music. Long live the BOBS!

I have enjoyed your music ever since my friend Scott Marcus from New Hampshire (the center of the universe as far as he's concerned) introduced me. My favorite song of yours has always been "I Wanna Be Your Rainbird" ever since I saw y'all perform it with the guy who played the rainsticks in Santa Rosa, CA

I'm a professional actor/singer working out of Minneapolis. (I grew up in Columbus, so you have my sympathies Matthew ‹ I know of what you weep.) My first contact with your sound was in a workshop production of ³Requiem for a Butthead,² a music-theater piece written by Gunnar and Richard that I was cast in. Produced by the New Music-Theater Ensemble, we went on to perform it at the Goodman Theater in Chicago a couple of years ago. It would be nice to hear a studio recording of it by the Bobs. I'm ashamed to say I have ALL your recordings. I think I must therefore be a groupie and that frightens me terribly. After hearing ³Bannana Love² played during a rehearsal I was smitten. Like a drug I simply craved for more, until I bought each album in rapid succession and listened to every song 87 times. I'll be looking for ³Plugged² next trip outŠ and a good therapist.
