J. Robert recently began marketing "Blue Water Christmas," a compact disc full of traditional holiday tunes set to catchy beats that he and other professional musicians assembled earlier this year. Robert is a renowned local artist with an eclectic musical sense who has performed at venues all over the island. He has spent most of his life developing his talents on the fiddle and steel drums, which give "Blue Water Christmas" a unique island sound. "You could say that this CD has taken me 50 years to develop, when you consider all of the experience behind it," he said. "This isn't the kind of project that you enter into lightly." The CD is available at Marco River Marina, Marco Island Florist, Marco Island Clothing Company, Marco Fitness and the the Little Bar Restaurant in Goodland, as well as through Robert's Web site (www.jrobert.net).
