BOB COWSILL:
WHAT HE'S REALLY LIKE

Cowsills

JUNE 6TH MARKS NANCI'S AND BOB'S wedding day.
They are seen here entering the Grammy Awards. Bob and Nanci met at college.



"He's got muscles, sparkling white teeth, a great sense of humor and he's awfully hard to make mad," says Barry Cowsill. Who's he talking about? His groovy older brother Bob!

As the oldest of the singing Cowsill clan, Bob has quite a responsibility 'cos final decisions of the group are usually left up to him! Bob is the kind of brother who's always there if he's needed and the rest of the group doesn't hesitate to come to him for help or advice!

Born in Portsmouth, Virginia on August 26, 1950, 20-year-old Bob has a smile that can melt your heart. He's got brown hair and luminous brown eyes that twinkle when he's thinking special thoughts!

LOVES PERFORMING

Bob says that he loves performing on college campuses best of all because then he can really get a chance to be close to the audience. "Especially outdoor concerts when everyone sits around on the grass. That's a groove!"

Bob's quite an outstanding musician, too, and besides the guitar he plays drums, piano, mellotron, organ and bass! His favorite music group is the Beatles but he also digs the sound of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young!

Robert Paul Cowsill is Bob's full name and he says his favorite things in life are music, love, the sun and traveling! In fact if you ask him what his hobbies are he'll simply say the sun! Maybe that's where he got the deep brown tan he looks so cool with!

"Whatever looks good," is the way he describes his favorite kind of clothing. "Especially if it happens to be blue!" Mostly Bob wears casual clothes and more than often you'll find him with bare feet!

Bob's a very good cook and when Mini-Mom will let him use the kitchen he likes to cook up something special for the family. He admits with a smile that his favorite food is anything he cooks himself! For dessert he likes "something sweet," which mostly includes chocolate cake, chocolate chip cookies or fig Newtons according to his Mom!

BOB LOOKS FOWARD to a beautiful marriage and he wants many children, but not right away! He won't leave the group.

BROTHER'S ATTENTION

Bob gets along very well with everyone in his family and even little Susan gets her share of big brother's attention! Many times Bob will take her out places with him. "I love my sister very much," he'll tell you smiling fondly at her or tousling her hair! ,

Susan says that Bob is great to talk to because if something's bothering her he never makes fun of her or teases her the way the others do. "He makes things into a joke and I end up laughing!" she says.

Bob is a quiet, sensitive person who likes to take off alone to go for a quiet drive, a walk, or even to church. "I'm a Catholic" he says, "but I don't necessarily go to a Catholic church. A church is a place where I can feel even closer to God and it doesn't matter what kind it is! God is in every church!"

Bob says that living the life of a bachelor "just isn't my scene!" Maybe that's why he's decided to take that big step! That's right! Bob Cowsill has found the girl of his dreams!

A BEAUTIFUL MARRIAGE

"My personal ambition in life is to have a beautiful marriage," he says "and I've no doubts that having Nanci as my wife will be nothing but beautiful!"

The lucky girl soon to be Mrs. Bob Cowsill is Nanci Roberts, a lovely 20 year-old girl with long blonde hair and blue eyes. "I met her about 2 years ago. It wasn't love at first sight or any thing," Bob laughs, "we just began seeing each other and about seven months ago we knew we were in love!"

"What I want now," Bob says, "is for all of you to meet her and see what wonderful person she is. I want to share her with all of you and I hope you'll like her because it means a lot to me!

And that's just one of the beautiful things about Bob Cowsill. He's concerned about those he loves and want everyone to be just as happy as he is!
