Unsolved Murder
  • He was found dead in his apartment in Scottsdale Arizona. There was an electrical cord wrapped around his neck and they think he was hit in the head with a Tripod. Word is that video recorders had just came out and he and his buddy were making sex tapes with the local women that Bob would pick up on. At first they thought it was some jealous Husband that killed him but then they thought it was his video buddy John Henry Carpenter. They took Carpenter to trial and he was acquitted because there was not enough evidence around and then Carpenter passed away not long after that.
  • With his wife Sigrid Valdis

Wild Wheat
The Wind Blows O're The Plains
Through The Wild Wheat
Wild Wheat That's Never Reaped
Wild Wind. Wild Wind. Wild Wheat

And Then The Stillness Comes
And Heat of August Sun
The Earth Is Parched And Dry
All Living Now Must Die

Wild Wheat against The Sky
Once Young Now Brown And Dry
All Signs Of Life Are Gone
Yet In Still Earth The Roots Live On

It's Seeds Of Life Are Sewn
Wind Blown Far A Field
All Little Ones Must Fly
Wild Wheat Will Never Die
