6 degrees of separation ~ w ~ robmullenjr

Most of us remember the idea that almost all people on our planet & off our planet on the space station; including, my friends that are space cadets, are connected by about six other people. ” I know a guy that knows a guy that knows this guy” and so on. So I welcome family, friends, space cadets etc. that are somehow connected to moi , to share stories about yourself and each other. As you know, I love writing songs about insights and experiences of people I know. I invite you to spend a minute and share your recollections ; even if , they are filtered through a guy who knows a guy that knows a story. ” All Together As One ” rlmjr.

Hot Summer Release: Pretty Blonde

Get it on Bandcamp Now: Pretty Blonde

This story is about a career trucker who is infamous for a girl in every town , until…he meets the ‘one’ at a truck stop. The girl’s dad is the owner of the ‘ Golden Beaver Restaurant ‘ and has a few tricks of his own to get his daughters married off.

It is a whimsical journey with a special nod to a business in Ontario Canada named La Rue’s Trucking celebrating 75 years in 2021.

Characters are part of the bigger story in the musical screenplay co-written by Rob Mullen Jr and Gabi von Gans called “Summer Six-Pack” (TM) about six friends and their crazy stories through life.

The trucker / owner of the company was also the drummer in the Six-Pack Band (R) in our story. Lots of fun and shenanigans in this song.

In Summer Six Pack’s (R)* latest world release, “Head Her Off at the Pass” smacks of many relationship spats that pit the “have to spending” against the “want to spending” in the rivalry of following your calling to towing the line.

The character ‘Pete’ is urged by his brother ‘Crazy Al’ to go to Chicago where he can buy the “magic guitar” that he has been looking for to reignite his playing career.

This is a whimsical look at the choices and lives of players trying to balance their musical
aspirations and regular family lives. Absolutely Delicious !!!

New Release: All Together As One

All Together As One - Release - Rob Mullen Jr

Click here to hear it and get your copy on Bandcamp: All Together As One

 

Rob’s beautiful lyrics in this ballad speak to the human race as one body on Earth. He is very passionate about following your true life path and living in peace. He takes the listener on a wonderful journey of his self discovery. It builds to a choral finale that lifts your spirits again and again.

Rob chose to release this cut today, January 11th, 2020 due to the frightening unrest in the far East. Canada lost 57 Canadians in a commercial plane bombing by Iran on January 8th. Rob felt that this peaceful song might sooth some spirits who are in shocked grief for their loved ones.
