BIRTH!
I hope you guys had a fun Halloween yesterday…I spent most of the day working on stuff and of course Campaigning for Votes on StarTomorrow. My emails that went out all said things like …"This will be the very last time you’ll have to vote"…"help me win the record deal"…"one last big push"…"breath"…The last 14 Weeks I’ll just think of as the StarTomorrow Pregnancy. We all wish for a healthy baby 
Thanks again for the continued votes and comments, by the way.
GREAT things seem to keep happening to me…and I mean REALLY GREAT THINGS. Making the Top 5 on NBC’s StarTomorrow is PRETTY SWEET but let me get away from that for a moment and go into other news…
Some of you have already noticed this new Yamaha Logo to the right of my journal sidebar. It’s true! I just signed an endorsement deal with them and I’m very proud to say I’m officially part of the Yamaha Family!
I just about jumped out of my skin when I heard this news. As a piano and guitar player(but mostly piano), there is no other company I would rather be with! It’s so nice to be endorsed by a company whose "toys"…I mean "instruments" I LOVE to play! 
YAY!
The other subtle change you might notice on my sidebar is this bad boy! What used to say "Nominee" now says "RECIPIENT"… Yes…it’s true too!
At about 2am last night I received an email from the fine folks at the 16th Annual LA Music Awards letting me know that I have WON! I was thinking that this might be some sort of secret I’m supposed to keep until the actual Main Event on November 9th but the email sent to me gave me this new artwork and it says: "FEEL FREE TO START BRAGGING! From now until eternity you will ALWAYS be an LA MUSIC AWARD RECIPIENT!"
WOW! So the Award I’ll be picking up on the 9th will be for "Rock-Male Singer Songwriter of the Year"-2006. I could NOT ask for a better category to win, let alone just be nominated for. I can’t wait for the Main Event!
I am one thankful and excited person today. With the way things are going…I’m thinking I should start playing the LOTTO
What great news! And WHAT AN HONOR!! I am SOOOOOO happy for you! YOU deserve it honey! WHOO WHOO!! Bring on the Champagne!
BIG hugs,
Steph
I’ve been on Cloud 9 for quite a while now
I’ve always said that those with talent will always be discovered eventually. It is your time.
Congrats to you and to those who have the fortune of being exposed to your character and talent. I know I’m grateful and couldn’t be happier for you.
Thanks Dice!
I’m tellin’ ya…forget music..I’m just gonna start playing the LOTTO!!!

See what happens when you’re confident ?!! We all said you were the best ! Keep knocking out those great songs and enjoy the ride. We’ll all be there rooting for ya !! So…. the next CD comes out when ???
the next CD all depends on how this contest goes and who’ll be producing it
we should know soon though 
thanks so much for everything!
You are really blessed right now. I guess it was meant to happen . . . right? Hugs!
i’ll take blessed…lucky…one thing is, i know what it’s like to have everything fall apart so i’m learning to just enjoy what comes..the good with the bad…but so far..it all seems good
speaking of toys, they make motorcycles too, right? =)
you read my mind
Wow I am so happy for you! These are the things we all strive for and it is happening for you, I couldn’t be happier. You are so talented you deserve it!:grin::grin:
Hi Myra!
Thanks so much for the nice words.. I miss living close ot Canada..you guys have those great Ketchup CHIPS there…i’m so jealous!!
shout back ANY time!
“I’ll just think of as the StarTomorrow Pregnancy” I am not responsible.
way to go with the Yamaha endorsement deal……..so are you looking for that accountant yet?
Big Congrats on the LA Music award:!::!:
soon to be on Jerry Springer’s “who is the Father” show
heheh
accountant would require funds coming in…it always seems to be the other way around
hehe….if Jerry Springer don’t work out you could always go on Maury.
i do know a good accountant (if i say so myself)
OPRAH! I have a new book titled ” A Million Little Votes”
haha, so will you be autographing the copies that Oprah gives the audience?
Fame and Fortune couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy, Bob!!!
My heartfelt congratulations and kudos to Yamaha and LAMA for recognizing your HUGE talent! Now… shall you go all the way with Star Tomorrow…? 
They’d have to be tone-deaf and musically challenged not to go with the Obvious Winner… 
Thanks Mike,
There’s some other talented players in the game though ..I know it’s not a walk in the park for sure…but i’m hopeful(as always)
Maybe they’ll take a couple of us?? i dunno though
Thanks Misty! I already feel like a winner no matter what happens with the ST show
I get the feeling something is coming aroudn the corner…maybe i’m just wishful thinking though–nothin’ wrogn with that tho eh?
No, there is nuthin wrong with that. I just remember how hard you have worked for everything. You deserve everything that has happened and more. All of your patience has paid off!!!!
ooops..sorry ..my dyslexia was kicking in hard on that last comment
Great news for you all around… See GW Bush told you that good things would happen if you elected him… Just that they’re happening to YOU not him.. lol
All the BEST man !!!!!
you do know W Bush and I share the same birthday…he’s younger though (mentally) kidding :-D:mrgreen:
Hey Bob, congratulations I am so happy for you. I remember the first time that I came accross your web site, I think I spent 15 solid hours just reading, listening and watching, I knew then that good thinigs were going to happen to you. Enjoy your success.
WOW…this is one of the best comments a blog could ever get!
MAN! Thanks sooo much!
Waiiiit a minute here. Who said you could be riding a motorcycle? I wanna talk to your mom! We can’t risk those piano playin fingers of yours! And while we’re on the topic, I’ve been thinking about all this hockey you’ve been playing. What about puck damage? We can’t risk those perley whites ya know. Do you wear your tooth thingy?
No reckless behavior. We all have an emotional investment in you now! hahah just kidding, sort of:grin::lol::mrgreen:
