Are we sure that Bob Stone the engineer and Bob Stone the songwriter are the same person? And if so, how are we sure? After an hour or so of web-sleuthing, I'm unable to definitively confirm or contradict, but my gut tells me they're different people. It's hard for me to imagine a successful songwriter with credits going back to 1964 deciding to go on the road with Frank Zappa in the late '80s as sound engineer - or how the author of "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves" could have spent his last days living in a truck, as the engineer apparently did (http://www.united-mutations.com/s/bob_stone.htm).

I was in the band The Unchained Mynds. We recorded Mr. Stones "We Can't Go On Tis Way" on Buddha Records. Is there a contact e-mail or phone number for him. After we released our song he sent another of his songs on an asitate(don't know if that's how you spell it) But we are having a reunion of the Band and would love to contact him if possible.
