In 1969, Bob enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for 32 1/2 years - spending most of his time as the premier pianist of the U.S. Army. From 1970 on, he co-founded and lead the Army Blues Jazz Ensemble - an element of The United States Army Band. During his time with the Army, he was also the White House pianist. He played for a total of 5 presidents and their vice presidents from Nixon through Clinton. In 1991, he became Sergeant Major of the United States Army Chorale. He's also played for a virtual "who's-who" of the finest entertainers the world has to offer. The list can be found at www.bobsmithmusic.com.
