Peter:
 
Congrats on the Kool gig!  How are you coming along on those dance steps? lol
 
Bill, tgo

Rob Kool Bell died a few years ago.

to answer your question: i'm working since a couple of years for  one of the major studios in germany, the boss is a very smart guy networking, don't ask me how he got that job....

and no, Robert Bell is still alive (thanks god!), he played with the band this year in germany, the guitarplayer Claydes Charles Smith died in 2006..
