Lee Gilliand: This is your once-upon-a-time musical associate from Fresno. From time to time, I have inquired about Bob (who also billed himself as "Marty Martin" when last I spoke with him, just after he returned from Viet Nam). As I may have mentioned in an e-mail I sent some time ago, Bob became acquainted with mind-altering substances while in the Army. To what extent that led to later issues, I don't know. What I remember about him is the gentle, creative side he showed when we worked together in the early '60's. I hope he has found a way to reach back and get in touch with that.

I hope "Moondanse" is working well for you. I'm glad you are still able to pursue the musical muse. As for me, though I have a closet full of guitars, it is mostly a weekend thing or simply "noodling around." My son has had a band for the past seven years. They recently were asked to work on a soundtrack for a film; the first real big break for them. They all work full time to support the dream.

All the best to you!
