I promised to put some videos on your plate and I finally got it together. These are all videos that were shot since I moved to Florida in July of 2017. You may have seen them before, then again maybe not. There's some good stuff here. Check them out, and let me know what you think by either replying to this email or posting a comment on the video YouTube page.
I also finished revamping the lyric to a song I wrote in 2011 called The End Of The World. Not to be confused with songs by Skeeter Davis and R.E.M. The song is about the present pandemic and I hope you'll like it. I should video it in a couple of days and post it for you.
Stay safe. Stay 6 feet away. Wear a mask to help protect others in case you have the virus. If everybody wears a mask, everybody will have a little more protection. It can't hurt.
Peace, Love, Hope, Grace,
Robert Ross

BLUES IN D NATURAL (AKA: I WONDER WHY) - Robert Ross Band
The band features John Grillo (drums); Robert Sherber (bass); and Robert Ross (guitar). The song is Earl Hooker's Blues In D Natural but it's reminiscent of the blues song I Wonder Why. I used to play a lot with Otis Rush, and he always did this song at his gigs, only he called it Blue Guitar. Heidi “Heidi Ho” Rosenbaum, who is one helluva drummer and the leader of The Funky Blues Band, shot the video at the South Florida Blues Society (SFBS) Guitar Showcase at the Funky Biscuit on 5/20/18. And a big shout out to SFBS President “Blues Bobby” Weinberg for asking me to play the event.
