These Aren't the Bobs You're Looking For
If you were googling Robert Thurston, a composer-arranger originally from Tallahassee, Florida, you’ve come to the right place. But I have many virtual doppelgangers out there.
You might have been searching for Robert Thurston (b. 1936) the science fiction writer. Sorry, I’m not him. I used to write for a newspaper, but these days I just amuse myself with stuff like what you see here.
Maybe you were trying to find a thoracic/cardiothoracic surgeon in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Hope not, but if so, Dr. Robert S. Thurston could be the guy you're looking for.
The Internet Movie Database lists three actors named Robert Thurston, one of whom has worked steadily in TV and film since 1989. His credits include a 1998 movie with the intriguing title of Zacharia Farted. I’m not these guys either. I did play on the soundtrack to the 1984 movie A Flash of Green. It's one of the few movies ever made that credits soundtrack musicians by name; unfortunately it's also one of very few for which IMDb does not list every credit.
I came across another Bob Thurston who is an amazing photographer.
You might also have been looking for my first cousin once removed, Bob Thurston, whose Web site is unfortunately not active right now. Bob lives in New England. Like me, he is musically inclined and enjoys writing. He has recorded about half a dozen CDs.
Robert W. Thurston is a Russian history scholar. I'm definitely not him. I took one semester of Russian in college. What a spectacular disaster that was. I can still count to four, though.
Lastly, who can forget Robert Henry Thurston (1839-1903): mechanical engineering education pioneer, first president of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. I'm pretty sure I'm not this guy, because I am soooo not mechanically inclined.
If my name is your name too, please say hello.
