BOB SEGERI write a lot of songs people don’t hear. I really just enjoy the process. I finish ’em all. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of difference between the bad ones and the good ones.
BOB SEGERMy walk had purpose, my steps were quick and light, and I held firmly to what I felt was right.
BOB SEGERTake a lesson from the trees, watch the way they bend with each breeze, little victories.
