Bob never saw a stringed instrument he didn't like and never liked a stringed instrument that he didn't buy. The DVB's banjo pickin', mandolin whackin', uke strummin', bass singin' man of all seasons is the band's musical swiss army knife. His latest aquisition...a british made "banjolin" is a cross between a mandolin, a banjo and Lagostina 2-quart soup pot . If a song has been written for such a contraption, Bob will find it (and the DVB's will perform it).

A community designer by trade (Bob designed the neighborhood where Jeff lives), Bob splits his time between career, the DVB's, the Keewatin String Band and an endless stream of instrument restorations. Whack the Ukulele for a song featuring Bob.
