The albums were one instrumental and two vocals: "Bob Wood Plays IT Cool", "The Other Side Of Bob Wood", and "Reflections Of My Mind". Bob plays and enjoys most types of music from country to jazz, swing, gospel, old pop standards, etc. He is just as at home playing jazz as he is with country. However he never forgets where his roots are. He plays every Sunday where he attends church with the church orchestra, "Giving back some of what God so graciously gave me" he says. Bob and his youngest daughter Mitzi have just released a new CD titled "Generations". It contains old pop standards, swing, blues, ballads and originals. Bob says, "I have been fortunate enough to have seen a lot of my dreams fulfilled, but the fulfillment of this one has been my biggest thrill ever, getting to record a CD with my favorite female singer in the world, my baby daughter". Bob is still active in the music business and he says, "God willing, I'll be picking and grin’n when they pat me in the face with a spade".
