I’m supposed to be doing some interviews where I talk about the making of this video, so I won’t go into too much detail here on the blog, but there’s some “special thanks” included on the youtube link.
Video premieres this Thursday at 5pm PT – I’ll be there as it streams live to chat. Hope you check it out!
This last Thursday, I took over my label’s Instagram account and updated the Stories through the day….all leading up the the 5pm premiere of this Bad Dreams video from the Fortune Favors album.

I tried my best to have some fun on the Instagram Takeover. Honestly, I’m a little new to IG but I really like it best of all social media things. I don’t have as many followers there as I do on Facebook or Twitter, but it’s a nice breather from the politics… It’s like TikTok for old people. hehe If you’d like to follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/bobgentry [I actually post more there than I do anywhere else].
I’m shooting another video for the song That Life in a few weeks at this amazing “Glamping” place out in Joshua Tree. I’ll post photos and clips as it’s going, and also some neat information about the place that we’re doing it [like how to stay there yourself!]. It’s actually a place on AirBnB that I’d been eye-balling for a little while. The listing said “no filming without permission” so I reached out and they were VERY kind to allow it!! I’ll be sure to post some links after the video airs to help give it a plug.
But seriously….how cool is this???!?!?!?
Real quickly, I’ve been rehearsing with a group of guys here in the desert that I FINALLY managed to pull together and we’re getting prepared for some live shows soon…. where and when? No Idea yet…but having a band all set here in the desert, that I can rehearse and perform with has been really nice! [Most of my musician connections were in LA and finding Desert Musicians had been a bit of a challenge…but that hurdle has been jumped! woot]
Now I just need a booking agent and manager. LOL
Somehow, I made the cut! CrAzY!
If you’d like to cast a vote for me that’d be nice, but be sure to vote on other categories of your favorite Coachella Valley people, places, and things. Here’s the link https://vote.cvindependent.com/ *be sure to read the rules…there’s only a few of them 😉
I should add, there were a few people who messaged me (iPhone Users) who had a hard time registering. It took me a while to figure it out (cuz I’m old), but if you zoom in close to the B, there’s a little tiny check box you’ll need to check. It really is tough to see but I promise you, it’s there 🙂
Lastly, THANKS to whoever nominated me, and to those who vote!!!
I really don’t expect to win, but this is a great honor! And it’s also some nice exposure– even those who don’t vote for me will at least see my name…so it’s a WIN-WIN! Woot!
I won’t be “campaigning” for votes, even though I probably should…but I’ll politely mention it…which is what I’m doing now. I might politely remind when the deadline is too LOL 😛
Big thanks to:
AND
A while back, I made a comment on my friend Hannah’s Instagram Badfinger post…and it lead to this 2-Part Interview at Wildfire Music +News!
There’s quite a bit to read, so I won’t write too much here, but check it out! Such fun I get to have; talking about one of my favorite bands!
Such a fantastic interview! Love it! What a nice way to wake up!

Today’s the day the record is available at all your favorite digital music delivery services; iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, etc. Click the cover and it’ll give you some options.
There’s SO many people who helped out with this record so I created a liner note page on my site that shows credits. Have a look!
If you like it, please help spread the word — it makes it possible for me to keep doing this stuff 😛
Here’s a little promo for an upcoming Zoom Interview I did the other day with Dean Olson. As the video says, I’ll post the link to it once it’s edited and posted on his site.
I post all this stuff on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, but I think of my blog now almost like a little scrapbook. Most of the time, I start with Instagram first….which automatically posts to Facebook, and then I’ll Tweet. Honestly, I have no idea if anyone even reads blogs anymore but it’s kind of nice to have all this stuff in once spot. 🙂
I had a fun time answering The Lucky 13 with Matt King…thanks so much CVIndependent.com!
Update: Here’s a copy of the printed paper… I love seeing online articles, but there’s really something extra-cool seeing things in ink. Love it!
Yesterday, the Monopoly video aired. Here’s the clip in case ya missed it. Friday at 5pm probably wasn’t the greatest time to release anything on the internet (for West Coast or East Coast), but the good thing about YouTube…it stays there for later viewing …so here’s some “later viewing” for you. Ha! The main thing is… there’s something for people to watch. Then again, if you’d like to have your ego and self-esteem crushed, I highly recommend a Friday 5pm release. 🙂
I’m a little late to the YouTube Party when it comes to trying to gather subscribers, so I welcome any new ones! I’m sure I’ll be doing more of these down the road.
Before I ramble on…here’s the links if you’d like to actually snag the song:

My song really isn’t about the actual Monopoly board game, but I found it pretty ironic that the day before the song release, they announced a Palm Springs Monopoly:
