BIOGRAPHICIA

The Bohemians began as one whole, then broke apart, reformed and resized themselves, till once again it became whole ... After Crossing the British Alps and sailing across the Konskaskia Sea and into eastern Tajmala, the Bohemians started to find the sound that would make sense to all swinging, peace loving people. This is what they came for and what they came to be.

Bob Bailey was born where the sky and ocean meet to discuss philosophical ideas. Bob examined some of these ideas and took them with him in his travels. Preferring musical expression to say what he learned, but never really knowing for sure what key his songs were in, he asked if anyone knew. When Lenny and Mike said they knew, Bob hung around them and Robleigh, a drummer, until they became a band.

Lenny Mink was found in infancy in the darkened wood ot Olbendorf, Holland, by traveling gypsies, who then took care of him and taught him all they knew about the guitar and the world.

Mike Killian's birth record states that his father was simply the "mother's chauffer" and nothing more. Ostracized, Mike was taken to New Orleans by another family servant. Hanging out as a young boy among the much older honky-tonk club musicians of New Orleans, Mike picked up the variety of musical styles and instruments that filled the nightlife with colorful music. In time Mike eventually made an exodus of all that, leaving the Louisiana port to live among the care-free pirates that mauraded the small port towns of Brazil. It was in these adventures where Mike first came upon Lenny Mink and Robleigh.

Robleigh probably could have become a world famous impressionist painter had he remained in Paris. But cubism and expressionism were taking on new, exciting acousitic forms in the Americas. Robleigh left the Left Bank and headed for Rio de Janiero, Brazil, where he learned this new art by fastening various paint bristles on the ends of drumsticks. Eventually, he became a drummer.
