Robert Scott Thayer has been writing music since the third grade. He started with the ukulele…then moved up to guitar. In the fifth grade he learned the sax and in seventh, he mastered the bassoon. As a Temple University graduate, Robert followed his fellow Philadelphia music alumni of Hall & Oates as he continued songwriting and performing various venues while working in Marketing.
The guitar quickly became his instrument of choice for writing in the acoustic, pop, and jazz genres. Robert has received numerous Billboard Songwriting Awards.
In 2001, Robert Scott Thayer secured an artist development deal in Nashville where he played several venues including the famous Bluebird café.
Robert released a digitally remastered version of his debut album Sacrifice in 2007, which includes 3 new bonus tracks. Jay Davidson produced the album and has numerous industry credits including; working with Aerosmith, Luther Vandross, and on the Jay Leno show.
Thayer’s plans are to complete a brand new project in 2008.
Also, something from the MySpace Breast Cancer Awareness group that I wanted to share with everyone:
We walk because we believe.
We believe in a world that is free from breast cancer.
We walk because we believe.
We believe that tomorrow is too late.
We walk because we believe.
We believe in the memory of those lost to breast cancer.
We walk because we believe.
We believe in the spirit of our breast cancer survivors.
We walk because we believe.
We believe in the children who will never know breast cancer.
We walk because we believe.
We believe in a cure for breast cancer.
And we will keep walking until a cure is found.
More than 200,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and almost 40,000 will die from the disease.
Men can develop breast cancer, too. Approximately 1,500 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and 400 will die from the disease.
A breast cancer diagnosis may come out of the blue - detected with a mammogram, during a visit to the doctor's office or through a breast self-exam at home. That's if it's detected at all.
95% of women diagnosed with breast cancer at an early stage (confined to the breast) survive for more than 5 years. The death rate from the disease is declining - people are surviving. But in order to do so, they need access to medical care, screening, education and treatment. And we ultimately need a CURE.
So lets join together in support and get involved with raising awareness.
