About Me

Willie Nelson, Ray Charles, Earl Father Hines, Bob Dorough, , Art Pepper, Pharaoh Saunders, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, Mal Sharpe and Gumbo West

Bob Scott has been a professional drummer since he was14 yrs old.

His parents could not afford to buy drums so Bob made his own drum set out from waste paper baskets, plywood chairs, thermos bottle lids, and tin pie pans nailed on broom sticks for cymbals. In the 7th grade he joined a garage jazz band and played his drum contraption. He has performed in the musically diverse San Francisco area for 30 years with many great musicians not only as a drummer, but also as a singer and songwriter.

His drumming can be heard on the following CD's:

Willie Nelson: Gypsy, Stardust, Angel Eyes (with Ray Charles) Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks: Last Train to Hicksville, Shootin Straight, Where’s the Money ? Terry Garthwaite: San Francisco LTD, Terry and Tony from Joy of Cooking
