Mike Kabeya, Bob Kabeya, and I discuss our word for the year. It will prompt you to pick one for yourself. Getting acclimated to a new culture has its perks. Continue with Bob as he describes in surprising detail his school years at Marcy Open School, learning English through PBS Kids Go shows, and the beginnings of his music career to where he is at now, age 18.

Find out when the Kabeya family wrote their first song. The big questions Bob is pondering. What worked well for his immersion in this culture? What did Marcy Open School do right?

The rock teen scene in the Twin Cities is tight. You will learn how Bob and his band members seized performance opportunities to become a part of this happening scene.

The drums, guitar, and piano serve different purposes in self-expression for Bob. See project Miloe on January 26, 2019, 7:10 p.m., at Caydence Records and Coffee, St. Paul, MN.
