Education: I received my undergraduate degree and two graduate
degrees from Central Missouri State University and a doctorate in educational
administration from Oklahoma State University.
Career: For 39 years I was an educator serving as a high school
science teacher, high school principal and college academic advisor. I
retired from Central Missouri University in 1996 where I was the Registrar
and Director of Student Records.
Musical Background: I began my musical career on the clarinet
in the fourth grade and took piano lessons from the age
of 12 to 16. After receiving a tenor saxophone for my 16th birthday, I
began playing clarinet and saxophone in small bars and clubs, which I
continued for about 10 years. As I pursued my career in education, however,
I quit playing in public and only played for the amusement of my family
and close friends. In 1978 I obtained a Wurlitzer electric organ and mainly
played it and my wife’s Yamaha piano until I purchased a PSR-2000
in December 2002. I play from music and fake books. My keyboard playing
has always been based around chords and improvision. I play primarily
for my own amusement, but I have played for a few service clubs and retirement
homes.
Update: Bob now has a PSR-3000 and his 22nd volume is the first one with
his new keyboard!
