At the age of 4 Bob was locked in small room by his father. Every year his father would feed him a new istruments including guitar, drums, sax, piano, water jug, oboe, finger symbols, wood blocks, big green garbage cans, 2 turn tables, and a microphone. He played all 24 hours 7 days a week. Finally the day came when he was allowed back into society. Now 17 without a stable part in his mind Bob writes and plays guitar to the punk/ ska sound of "8 Over Par" dun, dun, du..... Just kiddin, I've been playin drums since the age of 5 and started playin guitar like 2 years ago. I've been playin with Bill since the beginning, back in the days when it was him on guitar and me on drums. I've known him so long I even named him. I've played in other bands such as: The Fantastics, Dirty Pebbles, and Spastic Cradle. I joined 8op in the summer of 98' playin drums, now I break strings, sometimes play guitar and sing for the band. Somehow I became the writer for the band, lets make it official that I never claimed to be a song writer. You may ask where do I get my inspiration? "Girls and Parties" my friend or whatever else stimulates the mind. Seriously though I must say that playin music has always been the best thing in my life. I totaly recommend it to all of you out there. Its the only way for a nerd to get respect in this town!! shout outs to: Dad(for teaching me how), Mom, Gina, Lauren, Nicole, Dave Steed, Jesse, Jenn, The Steinwand Family, Sadie, Odoyle, Garrett, Crystal, Erin, Rachael, all the kids that went down to Trenton, Pam, Mrs. Vrabel, the point, The Fantastics, TBI, Cud, Speed Ball, and all my other friends for super cool support, and to all of you out there that have done me wrong in the past, just remember I'm the one with the microphone!! ha, ha, ha!! Well there ya go, Bob
