Bob Gibson "Ski Songs" 1959




















By the late '50s Bob was living in Aspen and doing a lot of skiing. At some point he got together with three women who worked at the Denver Post and set out to write a musical all about skiing. Though he admitted to thinking it kind of a sophomoric venture, he was proud that out of the project came a couple really good songs which are included on this album - In This White World and What'll We Do. Bob continues the practice of using some of the finest session players on bass, banjo and electric guitar, and although not really folk, his roots are most evident.
