The LP is now a collectors item:
For display purposes only.
This is the first recording Bob ever made back in 1979. Originally recorded as an LP, it was transferred to CD when the technology changed. This is a picture of the original LP, which is now a collector's item.
America: Go USA!
2 of 15
This is a live recording made two weeks after the 9/11 attack. Bob was asked by a music festival director to "go up on the stage for an hour and play something for America."
At first he explains his recent trip playing for the troops aboard the USS George Washington. He then goes on to play an unbelievable improvised medley of American songs, tracing the history of our country from the Revolutionary times up through the twin tower blasts.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff heard about this performance and asked him to play it for them in Washington, D.C. At the conclusion General Peter Pace (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs) said it was the "most moving thing he'd ever heard in his life" as he issued the closing remarks.

The Robert E. Lee

The Robert E. Lee, built in 1866, became wildly famous after winning a race up the Mississippi River in 1870. Many songs were written about it afterwards, including the title song, "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee" in 1912.

Little known fact:
Bob played in many Detroit area country western bars in the 1960s. On this recording he plays a selection of the beautiful tunes and melodies he learned in those days.
During Bob's early "saloon playing" days in the Detroit area, he played in several establishments that featured country or mountain music. It was there that he developed his love for beautiful melodies and the stories (sometimes true) they represented.

The Green River Blues

The blues is among the most haunting music style in the world. Beautiful melodies mixed with moans of despair. But the blues also rocked and was the mainstay of barrelhouses across the continent. This collection includes all of those.

The Last Carousel

Bob composed music all his life. It ranged from full symphony orchestra pieces to ragtime but it was all in his head, not written out. With the invention of computer music programs he suddenly began writing out many pieces from the past. These concertos and other orchestral selections are on this CD.

When Bob was asked to play for the original silent movie Peter Pan (1924), he wrote his own score for it. Two of the selections are on The Last Carousel. Selections from Bob's opera, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, are also included.

I Wonder

This recording is not of ragtime, but rather of beautiful melodic pieces that Bob loves to play. He plays Malaguena left handed.

A typo was made in the printing of the back cover. #4 is missing. It's a beautiful song Bob wrote for his daughter Carrie when she was a young child. The name, of course, is "Carrie."

Folksongs, Barrelhouse & Ragtime

This recording features a beautiful rag Bob wrote in 1981. Its genesis came from a hearing bagpipe playing coming from deep in the woods when he was on a bicycle trip in the Adirondacks. In the "C" section of Rag in the Woods you can hear that drone of the pipes.

Church in the Wildwood

Bob was a church pianist for many years when he was younger, but he thought the music needed to be "touched up" a little. Many of these selections reflect that thought.

Saloon Tunes & Barroom Ballads

If anyone could make a recording of saloon tunes it would be Bob Milne. He played saloon piano for over 20 years in his (weird) youth. His book, The Journeyman Piano Player, retells many of those stories.

The Screen Door Boogie refers to the time when someone pulled out a huge pistol in a Detroit corner bar where he was playing. The locked screen door was down the hall from where Bob and the customers were fleeing. Bob took it out without ever slowing down and everyone escaped safely down the alley.

Bob explains that he one time questioned whether he'd be struck dead by adding a little rhythm to certain Christmas carols. Well, he's still alive. This is both a beautiful and fun recording.

This is the 2nd time Bob used an ancestor for a cover picture. His great-great grandfather, George Milne, sits with his pipe in front of the fireplace of his wee cottage outside of Aberdeen, Scotland, in the 1880s. This photo was used by a Scottish tobacco company on their products for many years.

Beautiful songs by Stephan Foster, the haunting "Nellie Gray" from the Civil War era, and more make for piano listening at its best. Yes, these are all old songs from the traditional family "Singin'" era.

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
In 2009 Bob wrote an opera based on the 1820 book by Washington Irving,
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.
It has been called a masterpiece.
Bob spent two years researching the history of this story. He learned it was based on a true incident in 1790 in the Dutch community of Sleepy Hollow, located on the east side of the Hudson River and about 30 miles north of New York.
Bob & Linda traveled to Sleepy Hollow three different times to meet with the historians and learn about this incident over 200 years ago. What they learned was that the people of the farming community truly believed a monster rode in their woods and they feared it. They did not take it lightly as has been suggested from other sources.
Bob studied both the book and the lessons learned from the historians, then based his opera on the beliefs of the 1790 people of the area.
Washington Irving's book was written in England 30 years after this incident.
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
Film of Entire Score
$65.00
Bob's opera is 2 hrs. 45 min's in length, and this flash stick contains the entire score on which you can simultaneously view, hear the music, and watch the lyrics go by.
The original composed score from Bob's computer is on the flash stick. It sounds exactly like a true symphony orchestra. The vocal parts are played by orchestra instruments.
Although this opera has never been performed, it has received rave reviews from all who have heard it, including opera conductors and singers. Every note and action, from the haunting overture to the thundering finale where the headless horseman appears atop a hill and raises a fiery fist, keeps the audience glued to their seats. The hapless Ichabod Crane finally comes to realize that the horseman is no joke when he discovers it right in back of him while riding home alone in the night.
