Nice page. I'd like it even more if there were contact informaton for the venues the Bobs will be playing at. I called information for Everett Wa and the operator says there is no such thing as the Performing Arts Center.

I am the woman who introduced my now fiance to The Bobs. My sister introduced me to them when I was about 14 or 15. We used to drive our parents crazy singing "Cowboy Lips" all the time. Ijust knew Gene would love you as much as I do. By the way, we caught you in KC in July. It was the most fun I've ever had at a concert. I probably won't make it to the Sep. concert in Lawrence, so please come back again soon!!!

I have been a Bobs fan for about 8 years, since I was 5. I finally got to see the Bobs at Pepperdine in Malibu in January. Janiebob, I'll miss you. Why are you leaving?

You know, your albums are almost IMPOSSIBLE to find in the stores! Hopefully, we'll be able to catch up on our collection when we see you in Sausalito on August 31! (It wasn't on the list, but we know it's there!)

I can't believe it - I saw you folks on TV years ago with a dance group called Iso (?) I videotaped it; I was BLOWN AWAY! I lent the videotape to a friend who moved to the Yukon & ever since I've wanted to see/hear more... I sang barbershop for a few years but gave it up; would love to get involved in something "alternative" like what you do. Now that I've found ya I'll be checking out recordings, etc.

Hi - I am a composer, arranger, pianist and member of a capella singing group Dead Ivy (a collection of ex-undergrad singers who didn't get enough at school). I've also been a fan of the Bobs for several years. Thank you for your contribution to new music!

Well, you can, of course, but I'll be dipped if you think we'll like it. Keep up the exqisite music...See you in either Orono or Pawling, or both (fingers crossed really tight).

Hi! I sing in a barbershop quartet and we have all fallen in love with your "Slow Down Krishna" song. I was wondering if we could obtain a copy of the music and if so what your charge would be. Thank you for any help you could give me.

I have enjoyed your music since I first played cuts from The Bobs on a small public radio station in Chicago's western suburbs. I manage WUFT-FM/WJUF-FM and would be interested in your cd ordering information for public radio stations. UFT is 100,000 watts, JUF is 8,000 watts.

The Bobs are my favorite group. You can listen to them any time of the day or week. They have happy and sad songs to help get you into or out of any mood.

I saw you guys live at Santa Rosa High School in '85 or '86. Very cool. I was in Jr. high school at the time. For most of that year, your current album at the time was all the rage, especially "cowboy lips"

I have been a bobs fan since th early days. Just heard Plugged and was delighted with how much the group has grown, changed and matured. love the rhythmic innovationas to the miraculous harmonies. i want to sing like this but i think it's dangerous. bravo !!!!!!

My only comment would be that you simply don't get out this way often enough (and when you do, it's usually in Schaaauumburg or some other god-forsaken, far-flung suburb). Oh, and what's this about Janie Bob takin' off? Say it ain't so! We love you guys.........Neal "Bob" Katz

I am so glad that you are coming out with a Christmas Album. I don't know whether or not you took my suggestion or had this for your own, but GOOD JOB BOBS! And so, now I'll just wait for the "Patriotic Country" songs album I also suggested. Oh, and the E-Mail Valentine song was just a little too corny - even for The Bobs. Love ya,though...

Just so people don't think it's an unfounded rumour, I will be leaving The Bobs in November. As of now, my last show is in San Rafael, CA on Nov.9. If we get any other shows before Thanksgiving, I'll probably be there. Thanks so much for your good wishes....(still)JanieBob P.S. By the way, if anyone knows of a cottage or 1 bdrm. apt. in the S.F. bay area where I can have a dog, please let me know.

There's been two people posting to rec.arts.a-cappella claiming that Janie is planning on leaving the group. Is that true? BTW, I'm quite fond of the Bobs. I saw y'all in Houston in 1994, and you're number one on my list of concerts I'd like to see in the future.
