(Brotherhood of Nightclub EntertainerS). Well soon his spirit to perform was rekindled thus the band, The Bones, came to life. The first Bones CD, "Down To The Bones" includes twelve tunes written and produced by Bob. Mike gave a helping hand on Medicine Man which is a remake of the original Deep River Band track.
