Operation Mend: Hope
I posted the listening link a few days ago, but here’s one last little plug…Thanks to those who have taken the time to give the song a listen, and an extra special thanks to those who purchased the CD at https://blueelan.com/collections/operation-mend-hope …streaming, saving to playlists, and sharing help drive up the algorithm, but there’s no profit unless you’re buying the CD. 😉
The main thing is mostly to bring awareness to the cause!!!
“Wish I Didn’t Know Now What I Didn’t know Then…”

Some Shots from The Roxy Show
A couple slides from the last Roxy Show taken from my Instagram account. Such a blast!
Live at The Roxy Theatre – Oct 11, 2023
I’ll be doing a little acoustic opener at The Roxy on Oct 11 –for Mustangs Of The West’s private album listening party. Though the event is private event, they’re actually having a sweepstakes; giving away tickets for you and a friend to attend!
All details at: https://blueelan.com/blogs/news/live-at-the-roxy-sweepstakes
Also on the bill in Morgan Myles, who some of you might know from The Voice.
I’ll probably only do 3 or 4 songs as an unplugged warm up…and early in the night, but I look forward to checking out the show myself! Thanks Mustangs of the West!
Quickie Social Media Update
Please be weary of imposters. This has happened to some other people I know as well. Basically, these jerks swipe all my photos/videos and then create new social media accounts and pretend to be me.
- I don’t chat on ANY social media unless I know you in real life, and even then, I don’t chat too much… this includes, Instagram, WhatsApp (which I don’t even have), Facebook, TikTok (another I don’t use), Twitter X, etc. If you don’t see a Blue Verification Badge, chances are, it’s a fake account. So if you’ve been chatting some someone saying they’re me…there’s a pretty good chance it’s not me.
- I’m not “looking for love”, hookups, money, gift cards, etc… Anyone who asks you for money online that you’ve never met before, should raise a red flag.
- Please Report accounts that you know for sure are not me. I can’t always keep up and monitor the entire web.
Just be careful, please. It’s not flattering and it makes me feel pretty lousy to know people are using my images to catfish people. Also, as much as I wish I knew another language, I’m only fluent in English: just recently someone sent me screenshots of conversations my imposters had all in Spanish.
My Official Social Media Links are listed at the links below…anyone else is NOT me. Most are only “@BobGentry”

I don’t use WhatsApp at all.
More Recording
This last Thursday, I did more recording at Clear Lake Recording Studios in Burbank, CA. I got to reunite with producer Dave Darling, who I haven’t seen since he produced my “Back on the Horse EP” and “Fortune Favors” released on Blue Elan Records.
I was lucky enough to get to sing a track written and produced by Kirk Pasich and Dave Darling. As a songwriter, I usually like to record my own stuff but after one listen to the demo version, I knew immediately I wanted to I track it! It’s catchy AF! Not sure when it’ll be released, but I can’t wait to hear the finished recording.
More to come…
