Title: Bob Drake
Post by: ClairvoyantCat on June 10, 2018, 09:15:48 AM

Fans?  This guy is 60-something and has a whole career of amazing music to sift through.  Smarter people than me have tried to describe his music so I'm not even gonna try.  Here are some samples from what's available.

He's a bit restrictive about streaming so it's hard to pick out the best songs

I'd recommend his last album, Arx Pilosa, as a great starting point.  He has a new one coming soon as well.

I used to work with an engineer named Bob Drake.  Dude could finish a NY Times crossword puzzle in the time it took to read the clues.
