I Guess That’s Why They Call It the Blues is a song by Elton John, with music by John and Davey Johnstone and lyrics by Bernie Taupin. It is the first single from John’s hugely successful 17th studio album Too Low for Zero.

Nansemond River High School
Principal Daniel OLeary Jr. mentions BOB FM in his speech to his 2018 graduation class of Nanesmond River High School. OLeary speaks about how BOB FM gave him inspiration for his speech (and BOB loves it). BOB FM plays a variety of music with no repeats each day… when working on his speech Principal OLeary said the the variety of songs is much like his students that he has in the 2018 class. An eclectic group each with their own songs coming together and making one amazing radio station AND one amazing 2018 graduation class. BOB wants to congratulate you all!
