DESCRIPTION:
Pappy's music can be heard on his website at BobPappenfort.com.

Echoing the footsteps of Butch Cassidy and Buffalo Bill Cody, the wooden boardwalks of Meeteetse offer entry to the Elkhorn Bar, Pappy's stomping ground in the Rocky Mountains of Wyoming. Pappy's neck of the woods IS the heart of country music, it's the foundation of old west ideals. It's work hard for a living and take time to help your neighbor, it's stand up for whats right and sit down for a cold beer with friends on Saturday night. With the opening of the saloon door, you are amidst a gathering of ranchers, business owners, cowboys, and a few outlaws whose ghostly remains still linger in the mountain air. Long necks and tall tales surround you as hollers of 'Hootie Hoot!' contagiously radiate from this posse like football fans doing the wave in a stadium.

Guitar in hand, Pappy's boots clap across the old floor and Hootie HOOT! is returned with a wave and a happy, familiar grin. It was within these old, saloon walls that country music songwriter and entertainer Bob 'Pappy' Pappenfort was persuaded by his PappyRAZZI following to record his music; his musical accomplishments are celebrated with the release of his first album, aproposly named, PAPPY. Having written or co-written all 11 tracks on his debut CD, Pappy's autobiographical collection of straight-shooting songs tell of the twists and turns that define all our lives with impassioned lyrics and memorable, country melodies.

Pappy hones his craft the old-fashioned way, he scribbles his lyrics on paper, finds the music on his self-built, acoustic guitar and works his songs out in front of a live audience of friends and fans. "Music is part of who I am. Songwriting is a refuge for me, it takes my mind off my problems when I need a break and it helps me sort out my feelings when I need to figure things out. Every song on the PAPPY album is something I care about, it's real emotion. Lyrics have to come straight from the heart if they are going to be any good. I'm a real guy so people always seem to identify with my stories." Pappy has spent his lifetime creating a solid and steadily growing catalog of great songs.

A father, a friend, a songwriter, a guitar maker, a rancher, Pappy is real and that honesty and integrity resonates throughout his poignant music. There's a song in everything I do. I sit with my guitar on the porch with a glass of whiskey and a cigar, I watch the hay grow, I write and I play to the cows. The year 2009 found Pappy willing to take a risk and share his stories with the release of his first album, PAPPY, These eleven songs are a record of me, my lost love, new hopes, and friends. I hope my music speaks to everyone who listens." His soothing, distinct vocalization and occasional country twang make Pappy's voice easy to recognize. Its the kind of CD you let play over and over as it becomes a familiar friend, keeping you company in the background for decades to come.
