"Once Every Forever" (© Copyright 1991 Bob Niederman) is a song I wrote in 1991. This recording performed by the "All Bob Band" - me, a 4-track recorder, a guitar and a drum machine. This was one of those up-until-6-in-the-morning efforts.

I wrote "Spanish Melancholy" (© Copyright 1991 Bob Niederman) probably in 1989 or 1990. This performance is from Feb 14, 1994, at the Gallery Cabaret bar.

• Bob Niederman - guitar
• Jamie Paradise - flute (and filming instructions ;) in all fairness, she didn't know I was taping.)

(Note, I wrote the guitar part. The flute part was improvised by Jamie.)

I wrote "Forbidden Love" (© Copyright 1991 Bob Niederman) (I bet that song title has only been used 1,325,769 times) in the late 80's. This LONG performance (the intro is 2 minutes) was done July 4, 1990. This was done by a band that I (and no-one else) called the KenTones. (This name was derived from the hot-dog stand accross the street from where we rehearsed.)

Players were:

• Bob Niederman - guitar and uh...vocals (sort of)
• Rob Grossman - guitar
• Jeff Hansel - bass guitar
• Pete Park - drums

I wrote "October" (© Copyright 1993 Bob Niederman) 1993 (I think). This performance is from Feb 14, 1994, at the Gallery Cabaret bar.

• Bob Niederman - guitar
• Jamie Paradise - flute

(Note, I wrote the guitar part. The flute part was improvised by Jamie, which was a gas because it was the first time she'd heard the song. I wish I had that courage - my spontaneous improvisations must be well planned.)
