In 1996, he recorded and produced Quasar Steel Guitar, a CD of his steel guitar music. In 2001, Bobby Lee joined John Reese and Open Hearts, a band that plays original music in a wide variety of styles. He played on two of their CDs, and left the band in 2008. In 2009, he joined forces with Al Stern (drums), Ehlert Lassen (acoustic guitar) and Dennis Lassen (acoustic bass and piano) to create The Burnside Scramblers, a band fond of playing western swing music and standards. As "b0b" (his online handle), Bobby Lee became involved in BBSes in the 1980s. He leveraged that experience to start The Steel Guitar Forum in 1997. Over the years that followed, The Steel Guitar Forum has become the online center of the international steel guitar community. In addition to his musical and internet activities, Bobby Lee is a professional software engineer specializing in consumer graphics applications. (en)
