I Kept Believing Tomorrow Would Never Come 2019 (collage)

New podcast is out. i was having some feelings on this one😒

I write poems. I like that it’s a pure art form, because you can’t really make a living doing it. I have a new book of poetry called, ‘Nightingales’ coming out soon. This is one of the poems in it. #poetry

Can't wait to play in Taos tonight. Had this wonderful article in the Taos News written by Ariana Kramer, but they only printed part of the interview. Here's the rest of it, for your enjoyment. Taos News: What does the phrase “blood and bones” mean to you? Why did you choose it for your album title? 
 Bob Schneider: It's what people are made of mostly. it's about 99% blood and bones and the other 1% varies depending on what sex you are. also, I like blood and bones in general. not to eat, though TN: What was the hardest or most intense song for you to write on this album, and why? 
 BS: I wrote a song called 'Life At Gryffindor' which was me imagining what it must have been like for a non-wizard to attend Hogwarts back in the 70's before the #timesup movement. but it was too hard and intense for me to put it on this record. I’ll probably put it on my next record called, 'Oh No, I’m Died' TN: Were there any songs that came easy? Which ones? And, why? 
 BS: Hey hey hey now with that crazy sexy question talk. Let me get comfortable and ask me that question again you sexy mountain hippie. TN: How does “Blood and Bones” compare musically to your other albums? 
 BS: I’d say it's about a 10, on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is not very good and 10 is pretty good. The other albums I’ve made all come in at around 10 except for two that came in around 6 TN: Over the span of your career, what musical moments/experiences are you most proud of so far? 
 BS: There was this one time that I was playing a show and when I finished people like got really excited. So much so that they started making this weird noise by forcing their hands to come together really hard and it sounded like some rocks falling off a hill or mountaintop, and I got scared at first, but then I realized they weren't trying to scare me and then I dated one of the audience members for a few hours after that. I’m pretty proud of that TN: What started you off as a songwriter? Was the fact that your father was an opera singer an influence? 
 BS: yeah TN: At what age did you start writing songs? BS: 17 TN: What are the subjects you have tackled in your songs? For Blood and Bones but also before and after. 
 BS: Mainly the idea that anyone can do what Uri Gellar did back in the 80's and 90's if they know the trick of how to do it. I also like singing about people who want to lose weight and then set a goal to lose the weight and then lose the weight and they take a picture when they first set their goal and then they take a picture when they've reached their goal. I like to say, 'they goal' when I say that sentence in a song though. TN: What do you have planned for your show in Taos, NM? Who will be playing with you? What will you play – new songs, old songs, a mix? BS: It'll be a mix. the last time I was in Taos, nobody came to my show, so this time I’m bringing a band with me. I brought a band last time as well, but I figured since nobody came, you might think that this time I’d just come solo, but no, I’m bringing my whole band, because I’m a golden king and made out of gold and don't care about wasting money or my band members time. Please come to the show so that I’m not sad TN: Have you been to Taos before? BS: I’m not sure
