Thank you, everyone so much, for the birthday greetings yesterday. I've been trying to answer all of the e-mails, but haven't finished because of the volume of mail. You are the very best.

Right now, I would like to extend Birthday wishes to my daughter, Allison, today. She was a birthday gift to me, being born the day after my birthday. I'm going to her:

page to wish her B-day Greetings now. Thanks again for making my day a very special one, and you can send your greetings to her at that site. My best to all of you..............Bobby

I'm so happy the Toto Network is here to allow us to talk to the fans. It's a wonderful thing not to have to make 1000 phone calls to get the word out on anything that's happening. I appreciate your kind words, and I hope you're all in good spirits these days. With all the problems in the world today, at least we have our music to enjoy, and that is one powerful link between us all.

It's been a long time since I visited the Network, but I still consider it a place of honor. I hope everyone is doing great out there. I see Sklar is still filling up the site with his video blogs, and I always enjoy that.
I see that Luke is going on tour in Europe soon, so I wish him the very best on that venture. I'm sure the fans will enjoy the concerts. It doesn't get much better than Luke on guitar, so I hope you all get a chance to take in at least on of his shows. I'm still enjoying his CD.

I noticed a familiar name on the "Vintage Guitar" issue with Luke on the cover. It brought me right back to my Louisiana roots when I saw that name on the cover. Sonny is one of the best slide guitarists ever. If you have any questions about that, ask Luke. I played in two bands with Sonny back in Louisiana before altering my course and coming out to LA to play music. Sonny was one of those guys who could make the whole band better. I remember once while we were playing together, Sonny walked over and told me to take a solo in the song we were playing.

Only in America do we celebrate "The 4th of July", but I hope everyone is having a great time out there today. As for me, I'll be going to a big party in Malibu to celebrate. I've been in the studio a lot lately working on my solo CD, so I deserve a break from that today. The songs are taking on a life of their own now, and some of them are exceeding my expectations. I want to make it a "little bit of music for everyone", so there's a lot of different styles of music on it. I have ballads, funk, rock, .....etc. Just a little of everything for everyone.

I recently had the pleasure of going to Moscow to check out the sights. I sang with a great band of musicians from LA at a big Auto Show near Red Square. (Sklar, you would have been in Heaven seeing these cars.) Before the show, I got a chance to visit Red Square and The Kremlin. I have so many pictures of that visit, but I'll start with this one. What an amazing place. I felt like I had walked into some forbidden place (being an American). I can remember the times when it was only a dream to go there and hang at the Kremlin (unless you were a politician).

Check this out. It seems that even some actors like some of our songs. I got this from B. Scotti. Hope everyone's doing great........Bobby

Hi gang. I know it's been a long time since i've posted, but I usually have about 10 things going on at once. While I'm not touring or playing blackjack at one of the venues, I work in the other companies I own parts of. I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone who has participated in this incredible site.
First off, I wanted to give credit to all of you who made the "IV TOTO" CD happen. You are 'The Super Group" in my eyes. That was an enormous gesture, and a great undertaking to compliment the band. I can't thank you enough, and I know it was a fun venture. You're the best.
