In Memoriam
Bob Meland
The only true rocker in the EBB, Bob grew up in Medina, NY. Self-taught and following in the footsteps of his jazz saxophonist father, he started playing bass at age twelve. He had his first paying gigs while in high school and had been a touring musician for his entire life including a stint with a dixieland band based on The Susquehanna River Boat. He lived in NC since 2006 and played locally with Illusion Highway in Mt. Airy as well as Crossroads in Sparta.
Bob was married to his wife Dee for 43 years. They have three children and eleven grandchildren
