Bob Milne spent more than sixty years earning recognition as one of the world's premier ragtime and boogie-woogie pianists, performing for audiences ranging from small-town crowds to international dignitaries. His remarkable musical abilities led to brain studies, a popular RadioLab podcast, and honors from both the Library of Congress and the U.S. Department of State.

​

Beyond music, Milne is an accomplished writer whose work includes articles, poetry, songs, and the grand opera The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. A lifelong student of nature and animal behavior, he draws inspiration from the instincts shared by all living creatures—a fascination that informs his fiction. Now retired from touring, he lives in a woodland home where he continues to write and study the natural world.
