You guys are great! If you have any tips for a new a cappella group please send them to me.

Hail Bobs and Bobs fans! I love this music and can not get enough of it. I got started when a friend heard one of my Monkey Puzzle albums and said "that reminds me of the Bobs." She was right and now I'm just as hooked on the Bobs. Must have more music!!! Keep rocking and entertaining us all Bobs (oh and please come to Colorado).

Bobs: I am your biggest fan. In effort to become a smaller fan, I bring you with me often to the gym and on the running path. That's me, with earbuds, sweating and grinning, raised eyebows to help you hit the high notes, chin to my chest for the bassest. Your amazing harmonies (and assorted sounds) would be enough, but your lyrics cement my fan-ness (fanity?). Who else sings about the relevent issues of our day, SHC, Art for Art Sake, Rainbird, Bring to Boil, Naming the Band and Earl? I quote your poetry and wisdom frequently. (Alas, my kids now respond with icy silence, my colleagues with polite silence.) Please never stop. And please don't tell me you had a concert this spring in Tucson that I missed. Yours, Joanna

Hi! Well I've found my way back home! I've been a fan since the early 80's. My friend Karlyne Myers (see the first newsletter) took me to a show at the Great American Music Hall. I was hooked (sooo many concerts at the Palms and GAMH)! But although I still sleep in my autographed BOB's jammies (xmas and regular), I some how lost touch since I've moved to the midwest. I did the grad school thing and such. Well today, my 4 year old and 2 year old found my BOB's collection and said "What are these, Mom?" Well today has been BOB's day. All BOB's all the time! Then I went on the computer and found this site. Last time I looked in Gunner was on the verge of retirement. Now you have two new faces (O.K., new to me) but you still sound wonderful (I saw the video clips)! Too bad we just missed your Grand Rapids concert. Our family will be looking out for any future concerts in the upper Midwest. Now I've got to email Karlyne and see if she's seen this site. I will never forget Gunner and "Welcome to my Fog" (makes me laugh even now), but I'm so glad your still going strong and I look forward to turning my children into BOB heads.
P.S. I saw that movie "Best in Show" and it made me think of you guys too.

You ARE vocal gods! Your benefit show tonight (6/16/01) for the Upward Bound House in Santa Monica was AMAZING. (I was the woman in the balcony who wanted Matthew Bob sing "SPRAY", but then I would have wanted you sing EVERYTHING, starting with "Art...) Thank you for being THE BOBS. xxoo Ilayne Lucas (ilucas@pacbell.net) Burbank CA

I attended your performance on 6/9/01 in Batavia. I, in comparison to so many at the performance, knew nothing about you Bobs before the performance. I heard you live, have listened to the 3 CDs that I purchased and, bottom line, I think you guys are certifiably NUTS! Lest you think that this is a criticism, read further. I have been a licensed practitioner of the mental health arts for the last 22 years. Ergo, I know NUTS when I see it. Your kind of NUTS is the most creative, funny and wonderful that I have seen for some time! Keep up the good work!

Respect 2 the bobs do some gigs in england

I am so psyched I'm going to be seeing you tomorrow @The Bottom Line. I found you guys (and gal) on a fluke in the 80's at Wolftrap. I so respect your harmonies, I cannot tell you. The fluidity in your sound, the breath of your phrasing (no puns intended); words can describe the smile on my face and the laughter in my heart your music provides. And, lest I appear verbose (naah, who...me...??)...i think you're GREAT!

Hey!, We're still waiting for a bobs concert here in the deeeeeep south. You've got a huge untapped audience down here. Everybody seems to think that Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend are part of your group for some reason. Whenever I tell anyone that my favorite singing group is the bobs they say "The Who?". Oh well, as soon as the economy picks back up I'll buy the new CD. It's a poor substitute for a live concert but better than nothing.

Hi Bobs,
I am an old fan of yours from the other part of the Ocean !!
Yes I'm writing from Milan, Italy ! I knew you in 1987 / 1988 in a TV trasmission ( "D.O.C." ) and I bought two your Lps: " Songs for tomorrow morning " and " The bobs sing the songs of..." ( this album is dedicated to Ruud Gullit if i remember well). But in Italy is very difficult to find something about you!
Thank you for your music and your incredible songs !!

No date on this year's tour at Harford Comm College(Bel Air, MD or Ram's Head Pub (Annapolis, MD). So many towns.... not enough time??? Come back, Bobs.

When are you coming back to Idaho? Seems like the last time was at the Panida Theater in Sandpoint in 1994 or 1995. We are desperate for some music that does not involve banjo playing inbred relatives.

Please to be coming back to Florida for good show and sweater party! Or??? Michael Axman (mikeaxe@aol.com) Orlando FL

Experienced The Bobs last night. My wife and I have both contracted Bobiphyllius Maximus. Probably not curable. Spend the rest of our days humming to ourselves and grining like idiots. Oh well, beats Mad Cow Disease.

Just found out you all are going to be at the Oregon Country Fair. If you have never been there it is um... a unique and enjoyable trip. We fly out every few years for the fair. We are long time FOB and See you whenever you are with 300 miles of us.

I love your music! I/ve been introducing the people I work with to the Bobs, and they are impressed. Important questions:
1. Are you coming to the Reno or Tahoe area?
2. Is the Iso/Bobs VHS tape going to be available on DVD? (I LOVE that show!)
Thanks for enlightening the airwaves!
