Robert Scott (Bob) Ringwald was born November 26, 1940 in a small community 14 miles northeast of Sacramento, California which later became Citrus Heights. Rumors of his virgin birth, being abandoned by wolves and being raised by parents, living in a log cabin, chopping down a cherry tree, throwing a half dollar across the Potomac River and walking 10 miles to and from school (uphill both ways) in the snow are grossly exaggerated. Bob was interested in music from a very early age and began playing piano at 8 and guitar at 10. This was tough because he had to go to bed at 7. His first "Paying Gig" was at the age of 12 playing with the Sutter Junior High School Dance Band of Sacramento, for a Mormon Church New Year's Eve youth dance in Roseville, CA.
