About Bob Shuster:
Bob started writing music in the 1970s (in high school), first for his own brass quintet and Dixieland band, but soon for many other ensembles. Shortly after becoming part of the house orchestra at Valley Forge Music Fair in 1979, he quickly found himself in demand creating custom compositions for many local schools and commercial groups. Many of these charts are still in use today! Bob was also in demand as a computer consultant and web designer/graphic artist, and formed Hot Apple Spider Design Inc. in 1998. Also in 1998, Bob founded ProtonMedia, a highly successful e-learning company, and functioned as president and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) until he sold his interest in 2006. That year, Hot Apple Spider Productions was founded, its first recording project released in 2009.
