It was such a pleasure meeting you at The Veterans Plaza by The Vietnam Memorial in Bayliss Park today. Thank you again for singing for me especially the song Look Me Up After The War.

Hey, I knew this kid, Bobby matter, way back in the day growing up in Iowa. He started playing songs and I believe he loved that more than any of the other crazy stuff we did growing up. It is great to see it has lodged in his soul and he has inspired me to grab the ol' guitar every nowand then. This has now passed on to my sister Elizabeth's sons, Andrew and jake. I hope t pass this on to my grandson or grandaughter someday soon. The website looks great and I will enjoy this new CD as much as your first (boy, those songs sure rang a bell!)
Peace and love yo you and yours...from me and mine. Yes, I am still listening and learning!

I always had faith that you would complete another CD. Closer to My Dreams shows some of your best work yet. It also is a title that explains your life very closely. At least for as long as I have known you, and that is a very long time.
Thank you to the guy that taught me how to play the guitar.

Robert, Seems like only yesterday you introduced yourself to Kim Person and I at the 1996 Kerrville Folk Festival. Somehow I knew we would become good friends. I really enjoyed being your graphic artist for "Songman" and hope to work together again in the future. Good luck with your musical adventure in 2008.

Nice website! Enjoyed your performance at Stillwater's in December. Looking forward to the collection of your original songs. I was so impressed when I first heard some of them at Wild Rabbit a while back, and it will be nice to have them available on a recording. Best wishes for a great 2008! :)

Its a wonderful enjoyment seeing you take the giant step into turning dreams into reality. I cant wait to hear your original songs simply because your perception of life has similar qualities that correlate with mine. But after all, i did get them from the man who i am writing to now. Keep it up dad!

Robert, I haven't seen you since the gig at Barnes & Nobles (I know, too long ago) but I still enjoy listening to Songman. I am looking forward to the CD of original songs! I've always admired the way you have kept to your convictions.

Nice site Robert looks like you put time and thought into it.I'm still going to get by and listen one night, guess I'll have to put you up on the frig next to my gransons hand (now there's a hook for ya) Walt
P.S. I'd like to get with you sometime and just pick, play and sing. You know you're in my era, I've been 39 forever.

I enjoyed your performance at the Tidewater Friends Of Folk Music Coffeehouse on Friday 1-26-2007. Your original songs were wonderful. You have a nice full range of topics and I thought the ones you sang were very well crafted. Looking forward to hearing more of your original songs when your next CD is released. Thanks for a nice evening.

Good job on the site. Your "Songman" is delightful. You've done a superb job assembling a group of songs, which showcase your pleasant vocal style and guitar talents, as well as musical influences. The CD is a tribute to the songwriting of Harry Chapin, Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and others. I see one important difference between "Songman" and other cover compilations, and that is your delivery and interpretation. I enjoyed the renditions of contemporary folk standards such as, "Mr. Tambourine Man", Dave Loggins "Please Come To Boston", and the Carson and Thompson hit, "The Letter". What makes this CD special is you've captured the smile in your voice. There are few song interpreters that have that quality. Steve Goodman and Jimmy Buffet come to mind. Not bad company! You know these songs inside out and make them your own. Master guitarist Stephan Bennett on guitar and bass add to the enjoyment. Kim Persons engineering serves the songs and your voice. Nice work!
