Rob Moitoza's new offering! Rob describes this CD as "It's very "Yellow Submarine-ish" with a little more bizarre Moitoza humor. Kind of a "Music for the inner child" or ""Ear cartoons for adults" kind of thing."
This is Rob's latest release. In it he explores some of the most heart-felt aspects of his humanity, telling tales pertinent to us all.
Released in 2014
