Good. [2], vi, 394, [4] pages. Illustrations. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads To a great friend and a wonderful musician! Compliments of Stephanie! Robert Boguslaw. Cover has some wear and corner curling. Bob Boguslaw has had a remarkably varied career as a pianist over the last forty years. He has performed as a soloist with world-class orchestras and bands, played jazz concerts in some of the world's great concert venues, played shows in South America for audiences of up to 100, 000 listeners, and spent twenty-two years with the "President's Own" United States Marine Band where he frequently performed at the White House. As a member of the "President's Own" he played for four US Presidents and seven Marine Commandants as well as numerous heads of state and luminaries in the arts and entertainment industries. Bob completed his Bachelor's Degree in piano performance at the University of Miami in 1979 and immediately began playing with show bands on cruise ships. He continued to study both classical and jazz piano and eventually returned to school at the University of Kentucky to work on a Master's degree in piano performance following a number of concert tours of South America with Jose Louis Rodriguez. Shortly after Bob's 1990 summer performances with the New Hampshire Music Festival Orchestra he auditioned for and was accepted as a member of the "President's Own" Marine Band. In May of 1991 Bob moved to Maryland and began his twenty-two year career as a Marine musician. First trained at the University of Miami in the late '70s, Bob quickly found himself playing piano and keyboard with various bands throughout the Miami area, eventually moving to performing on cruise ships.
