After 25 years in the music business, critics were starting to compare his songwriting to Randy Newman, Tom Waits and even Stephen Foster. Finally, it was all starting to come together. Rather than succumb to the shockingly grim news that he had 18 to 20 months to live, Rob used it as fuel to launch into the most prolific period of his songwriting career - determined to utilize whatever remained of this physical and spiritual resources to explore through words and music the nature of life, the inevitability of death and the infinite magic in the detail of a single moment. This musical legacy was for all to hear but it was especially for his 8 year old son so he could know and remember his father. "A Gesture and a Word" is a gentle portrait of the greatest songwriter you never heard of - a man who exemplified the phrase, Ars Longa - Vita Brevis (Art is Long - Life is Short). See less
