“Funny…
and many of you know this… given a bit of slack, I’ll wander all
over the place when telling a story.”
Bob
is back. This time, with the Strange and Unexpected series,
Bob hits the road with his unique observation skills and storytelling
abilities, and is joined by some of his favorite people and travel
companions.
Using
a keen eye for detail and a smooth writing style, Bob invites
his audience to join them as they visit national parks (the Everglades,
Grand Canyon, Yosemite, and Joshua Tree), see well-known attractions
(Cirque du Soleil, Disney World, Disneyland and the San Diego
Zoo), and discover hidden treasures along the way. From dolphin
swims to sunset wine cruises, Bob and his gang share the fun,
excitement, thoughts and information about several amazing places.
Strange
and Unexpected follows Bob’s 2012 release of Time Just
Drifts Away. A collection of observations and interviews
from his web site, In My Backpack (www.inmybackpack.com),
Time Just Drifts Away focuses on the time frame of March of 2003
until March of 2012. Interview participants involved in the effort
include Tom Collicchio, Suzi Quatro, Rick Price, Mark Patinkin
and Jimmy Haslip.
