MEET THE BOBSMITHS
This album, as the title indicates, is a musical invitation to “Meet the Bobsmiths.” The two members of this fast rising duo are, Bob Davies and Danny Smith. Bob plays guitar and handles the vocals, while Danny plays drums.
Constantly in demand on the nightclub circuit, the boys are kept busy playing clubs all across Canada and the United States. They have also played in Mexico and Hawaii and in Australia with the Martin Stroker Show.
Other stars, with whom the Bobsmiths have appeared, include Mel Torme, Sarah Vaughan, The Dave Clark Five, Jerry and The Pacemakers, Buck Owens, Ferlin Husky and The Four Preps.
In their nightclub act, besides their vocal and instrumental offerings which range from Western to Folk to Rock and Roll, the Bobsmiths also do some very fine comedy, impersonations and dancing.
If there is anything that Bob Davies enjoys more than performing, it is composing songs. He wrote eight of ten songs heard on this album. Although Danny Smith has only collaborated with Bob on one song, he also enjoys writing, but prefers comedy. Danny writes most of the comedy material for the act and does the choreography.
The Bobsmiths were fortunate in obtaining the services of Hugh Dixon to play guitar on this album. Hugh is one of Canada’s most talented guitarists, and his skills and musicianship certainly lend depth and great quality to the recording. This is not the first time that the Bobsmiths have been associated with Hugh. Years back, both Danny and Hugh, along with a lad named Bob Jones, formed a group known as “Big Bob and The Dollars” and recorded a song that rode high on the hit parade for a number of weeks . . . “Gloria” theme.
There is more we could tell you about the Bobsmiths, but we know you will derive more enjoyment, listening to their sounds, rather than reading about them. We hope you will “Meet the Bobsmiths” again in the near future when they appear in your town.
So, “sit back, relax, listen, and feast your eyes . . . and as the master of ceremonies says . . .”
“MEET THE BOBSMITHS!” [signed] Bob Smith
