______________________________________________________________

Welcome to the MySpace of musician and studio owner, Bob Giovannetti!! I've been playing keyboards since age nine and performing live in bands since I was twelve. I have spent the better part of my life devoted to learning my instrument and honing my skills as an audio recording engineer. For the past 13 years I’ve been playing with “Truth & Soul” a NJ based cover band that features several talented musicians and vocalists!!

Update: The band has recently finished recording a new demo and we’ve posted all 10 songs on the "sounds" page of our official website. Hope you can visit the link below and check them out!!

Former Bands:
4 ½ / Zyphrus / Cinema / The Attitude / Bedroxx / Agent 99 / Skinny Mulligan / Martian Tom / Odd Man Out / The Fah * King Band / Van Pedro / Kathouse

Current Band:

______________________________________________________________

Back in 1991 I opened Crystal Pig Recording Studio, an affordable yet professional 24-track digital recording studio located in Alpha, NJ. Since then I have had the pleasure of working with many of the Lehigh Valley's talented musicians and local businesses. At present, the studio has evolved into a state-of-the-art production facility that is filled with world-class recording equipment and we are very excited about the infinite possibilities that we are able to offer our clients!!

This just in . . . a song I co-wrote with Monty Leach (of Driver) will be appearing in the newly released horror film Hell’s Half Acre!! The movie was filmed entirely in Allentown, PA and is now available so check out the Hell’s Half Acre website!!

The song that appears in HHA can now be heard in its entirety right here on MySpace!! It is the tenth song in my music player and is titled “You’re Breathin”

Studio Clients:
Dave Phillips Music & Sound / Eric Jones ft. Bernie Worrell / Driver / Eric Lear / Angel Wood / Dorney Park and Wild Water Kingdom / Rhino Campground / Steve Roberti / Chemical Swing / Patty Speed / OFFRAMP / Mark Johnson / Shaggy's Ghost / Dano / Annie Kish / The Jeff Bellfy Band / Martian Tom / Eric Forschner / Anhedonia / Mike Schillaci / The Mondo Bongo / Northwest Airlines . . . and many more!!

Hey Bob ~

Once again, I was one click of the mouse button away from the Moog Voyager ~ somehow forced myself to leave it in Sweetwater's "cart." Perhaps it was the $2900 price tag and the certain years it would take to pay it off. Oh well, just needed to vent to someone who might understand. That is all ...

Wow my ears still ring from Nancy's Rockn'Roll. Twistin by the lake was a classic. The Kramer was mine when it fell. I think Kebble felt bad and bought it from me after it was repaired. Good Times
