In 2020, these are troubled times. It has not been a good year (yet). Offered here as a ray of light are some of Bob's recordings with his friends Eddie Carver and Frank Flynn. They're a postcard from a different time, an era when optimism was not foolhardy. These musicians were not naive by any means, but with their skills they were able to craft recordings that called upon the better angels of our nature. From our jaded perspective, these tunes may seem... hokey, kitschy, even zany. Let go of your ultra-hipness and allow your inner innocence to smile and laugh with these fun sessions from The Players!
