Between his travel and touring Bobby has been a long-time resident of Vermont, where, at the age of 80, he continues to produce, write and record film music, commercial jingles, and popular songs. This Spring Bobby will be coming out with his biography, Confessions of a Marijuana Eater: A Song Writers Memoir. A life-long marijuana user (eater, to be specific) Bobby is a proponent both of the legalization of marijuana and its therapeutic effects. Seated at the University’s beautiful grand piano Bobby will perform some of his hit songs and speak of his charmed musical life and the role marijuana has played in it. At the conclusion of the event will be a book release party and signing with the author.
