A Bob Constantine Brief Bio
(A Small Slice of my Life)
I received traditional education up through the
University level, and I pride myself on retaining my interest in taking
courses on a continual basis, the result of which allowed me to
participate in this class at this time.
I love to pursue my muse in the environs of
natural settings, whether it be while contemplating a view from a
mountaintop, or during a long swim in a remote pond at sunset. It has
been this way since I first picked up a large garden spider from its web
with utter fascination (and to the horror of my mother..) when I was
five years old.
My tastes in music are wide and varied, as
many of my other interests are. At one time or another, I have
listened to almost everything, since as a young teen, I appreciated the
offerings of AM radio. In those days (the 'sixties, if you must
know...), AM played eclectic sets of tunes. I got into blues, jazz,
and even reggae, through soul and R & B from the old AM format. I
explored rockabilly and later "alt-country" through rock and roll
music. Of course, I had my "gods" as well-- the Beatles, Stones, Bob
Dylan, and Jimi Hendrix, and I regret that these days people cannot have
the "heroes" in the sense I knew them as these aforementioned artists
were to me.
If there is one style of music I don't like as
well, it is classical. I do like some string quartet and
single-instrument arrangements (such as cello, viola, or guitar). But, I
do draw the line on opera-- it's an acquired taste that I just haven't
quite acquired yet...
