Bob was born in scenic Dover, New Jersey. His real name is
Robert L. Crepeau. Bob was an absolute delight as a child.
However, his mother may have a different opinion regarding
that. Although he was the only child in his family that didn't
suck his thumb (and he didn't wet the bed either), he did like
to go out his bedroom window and jump off of the porch roof.
Bob first skipped school in Kindergarten and smoked his first
cigarette at nine. His hobbies included: Knocking on doors and
running away, drawing unflattering pictures of his teachers,
being corrupted by the older kids and corrupting the younger
ones. |

Bob originally wanted to be a
cartoonist as a kid but that all changed when he began to
play guitar at the age of 15. Although his
Grandfather and father both played guitar, Bob ended up
teaching himself after he was told by his grandfather that
he'd be better off doing so. The fact that his father was
too busy going through his schizophrenic hallucinations
further necessitated the need for him to teach himself
anyway.
Grandpa,
however, went and bought a few guitar books for Bob and so
Bob taught himself music theory, guitar chords and scales
as well as how to read sheet music. The process of
teaching himself allowed Bob to approach things from an
analytic perspective, which in turn helped him to become
more creative. For whatever that's worth.
