You've landed in My Music Stuff area. Jump on your surfboard and peruse south from here.
I'll grab another cold one and join you during our next break.
Peek into Bob's Bio - find out about the guy.
A former California guy, I hail from a once small town 70 miles northwest
of Fresno called Los Banos.
I've lived in Fresno, Monterey,
San Diego, Los Angeles, Pleasanton, Livermore, Folsom and BRUTAL Fargo.
Now happily retired in hot, but very affordable Arizona. Finally.
My tawdry history includes 6 years playing keyboards with the 11th Hour, and
25 as a computer programmer.
I enjoy watching sports, eating good
food, and listening to smooth jazz music.
I've had a real estate license, golfed an honest 77, shoveled TOO much Fargo snow, and once was a real milkman.
I'm in my happy space when composing smooth jazz instrumentals, and creating all the various music parts on
my Roland FA-06 music workstation, a truly fabulous keyboard. Some of my little song demos can be found
on My Homepage
or on the music site SoundCloud.
Scroll down to hear ancient rough recordings of the 11th Hour and Gene's showband The Sidewalk Arcade.
Or browse
My Published Articles page for old clips of my hobby time writings. Always good for a laugh.
May you find one thing of interest...

Another fabulous Bobby solo on the Rhodes piano. Well... maybe next time.
Gene cranking it out - a tremendous singer and entertainer. Diane was a fabulous vocalist as well.
Rare to have such strong male and female leads in one band. A pleasure to be part of it every night.
What ever happened to that big songwriting career, Bob?... Oh, yeah.
For The Nostalgia Crowd
The 11th Hour Live was recorded between 1983-1985 in venues in Fresno and Monterey, CA. That's my brother Gene and
Diane DeGallery Miskulin sharing lead vocals. Gene once had his own showband, the
Sidewalk Arcade, that toured the
country in the early seventies. He was a marvelous vocalist and front man.
We launched the 11th Hour in Fresno in 1980,
doing all types of weddings and parties, and naturally turned
it into a full-time endeavor. Playing mostly local clubs, we
eventually became the house band at what used to be the
Doubletree Hotel, at the wharf in Monterey. What a place! Living
in a luxury hotel and playing music
six nights a week was truly living the dream. I ran the band for 6 months following
Gene's
death in 1985. It could never be the same. Take a listen if you care. Sorry about the quality. 40 years ago.
