Words FROM THE AUTHOR • Bobby DelvEcchio
Why I Wrote the Book
One day, while vacationing, on the beach, in the keys, I was contemplating what was my purpose in life and what my next steps were to be, in the second half of my life.
I recently read a book called “Halftime.” Bob Buford talks about the first half of your life being a life of success driven; the houses, the cars the planes the boats all materialistic things. The second half, he talked about going from a life of success to life of significance; what legacy you would leave behind.
So I started praying and asking God to reveal to me with the second half of my life would be, I’ve had such a great first half of my life. God revealed to me, in my spirit, I that was to put everything I’ve ever done in my life together.
I took an inventory I realized that I played drums in several bands and Drum Corps, and that I stated and sold businesses. I’ve been Drumming and doing business my whole life – I’ve been “Drumming Up Business.”
So I decided to write this book – I finally found my purpose, so I thought. I was going to motivate and inspire people through my experiences and wisdom in my life.

“Bob’s talents became an important part of the show. When new legends (Chuck Berry, Jackie Wilson, Chubby Checker, and Bo Diddley) joined the show, they asked if Bobby Del was the drummer and, in some cases, wanted it in their contracts. This was an unheard-of request at that time.”
