    It's the age-old question, "What am I working so hard for?"  Why do we spend countless hours and thousands of dollars on a creative project?  Why would one put twelve songs on a CD - collaborate with a producer, engineer, many highly skilled musicians who have spent their lives perfecting their craft, and perfectly polishing each and every song with the care a mother takes getting her child ready for his first day at school?

     I'll be honest with you, I don't know.  Maybe you've got a creative…

Wow Everyone!

     I'm still "flying high" from the wonderful inspiration of last night's concert at Higley.  Above, is a copy of the artwork for the electric billboards around the east valley!  The promoter, Bob Zucker, said it was because I was a GIANT in my field! ;-) 

     I want to thank you if you came out last night; and if you didn't get to come, I want to invite you for next years concert...and I'll tell you why:

     I believe that when people move in a bold direction, it inspires others to a…

 "The Cowboy Way" is a philosophy that brings back a time (hopefully not  "gone by") that believes when you said something you were good for your word; that your reputation was what you stood for; that you humbled yourself to the Divine Creator; that you were supposed to mentor those coming along after you; that you were helped where it was needed; and maybe a hundred other things that spelled out "YOUR VALUES."

     I just returned from the Cochise County Cowboy Gathering in Sierra Vista, AZ where…

      "Let dreams stay alive in the hearts of our children," were the last  words a great woman uttered into her husbands ear upon making her transition.  Indeed, "making our dreams come true" was at the heart of my Father, Cavett Robert's, philosophy; and I believe it too.

     It is my humble opinion that beyond basic human needs such as food, shelter, and latte's (ok, kidding about the lattes), humans have a need to make their hopes and dreams become a reality. Dreams drive us forward when the mundane…

One more thing, Friend,

 

       Just thought you'd like to know that "Western Stars" is ranked in the Top 30 Western Albums right now at  #18 and Most Played songs is "Adobe Hacienda" ranked  #8.  This is what DJ, Rick Huff, says about "Western Stars" in Western Way Magazine's review:

     "Lee ("LeeLee") Robert brings to the Western genre a rich, deep voice with stylings that reveal jazz and ballad sensitivities.  Providing an unusual effect for swing is a plucked rhythm guitar.  Part of me yearns for… Read more

 Dear All,

I sang the Star Spangled Banner last night at the opening of the Jackson Hole Rodeo.  In the same way the Center For The Arts Hootenanny venue was "world class," this last Monday night, singing to open the rodeo might be described as "class under a horses a__!"  'Scuse my "French," but there was definitely an interesting "juxteposition" in the two experiences happening the same week and being so different.  This is what keeps one humble, - and yet, there was a sweetness to the rodeo experience…

Hi  All,

 

     I don't usually like to start with an apology, but it's been three months since my last email! I'll update you first and then, hopefully, write something that can be useful to you! Maybe I can help you avoid the "character-building learning experience" I went through in April. Instead of going the route of "What was I thinking?" I'm trying the kinder, gentler route called, "What was I learning?" The good news is that no one was shot and no one died!

 

     In April, I recorded a new CD…

Hi   Friend,

 

I was talking to my niece, Ashley Cavett Robert some time ago, and I remember her saying, "I love babysitting for these kids; they think I'm a ROCKSTAR!" What a concept: we can all be "Rockstars" and create FANS! One of the greatest parts of being an entertainer is that people really believe you are a ROCKSTAR!  Even though I look like heck when I first wake up in the morning, and I put my socks on wrong side out from time to time, there are times when somewhere to somebody, I am a…

   First of all, Rick and I spent the month of February "getting re-Mauied." We have a favorite spot in Kihei on Maui where we can wear flip flops, and a change of t-shirt and shorts and adventure the island to find the best "Longboard" on tap. The expensive shops at Wailea roll their eyes when they see us coming because they know we are only there to hear the music and window shop!  It was a restful and re-creative  month - just in time for the birth of our new baby Granddaughter: Savannah.

   What can I…

   I have just had the thrill of writing and recording a song entitled, "Walls With Doors," completing a project I called THE GREATEST SONG IDEA CONTEST - 2011. The contest was held Aug 1 - Sept 15, 2011 and it was quite surprising and wonderful to get 35 submissions: some funny, some serious. A group of musicians and songwriters chose 20 finalists, and  on Nov 15 a winner and four runners-up were selected.

   The ideas were very creative as you can see by going to my website and clicking on "news and…
