Bob Heckler
notes
Bob Heckler grew up in Kansas. Music was a major interest since early childhood. At the age of four, he picked up melodies on the radio and played them on the piano. He learned to play the piano, clarinet and did not start playing the guitar until age 26. Once starting on the guitar however, it became the instrument of choice. He played songs right away, shying away from the drudgery of the usual routine practice which was adequately experienced in previous music training. He began finding his own way of relating to music and enjoyed making up songs and recomposing those of favorite musicians, especially the Beatles. A friend told Bob about Leo Kottke. Bob was mesmerized by Leo's full guitar sound, which was like an orchestra coming from one person. Since then, Bob has also been influenced by other great musicians, several of which travel around and do clinics for Taylor Guitar; Pat Kirtley, Doyle Dykes, Chris Proctor, Stephen King, Dan Crary, and more.
