Pizen Switch Times is pleased to introduce Mason Valley resident, Bob Weiser with his review of the recent Jakota Wass concert event that took place on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at the Yerington Theatre for the Arts.
Talk about a high level of energy, this nineteen-year-old up and coming artist/showman delivered what Yeringtonites would call their own kind of music! With very strong vocals and energetic acoustical guitar skills, he and his band really wowed the crowd!
Bob Weiser is a native of Texas and grew up on a farm near Giddings. Bob attended universities in Austin, Texas; Chicago, Illinois and Reno, Nevada, graduating with a Masters of Science degree in Secondary Education from University of Nevada, Reno while raising a family with his wife Betty and working in construction as a mason.
Mr. Weiser taught at UNR, TMCC (Truckee Meadows Community College), Galena High School and The Regional Technical Institute, retiring from teaching in 2003. He was a state licensed specialty contractor in masonry, completing many projects in Northern Nevada including Yerington after moving here from Sparks in 2004.
“Pastor Bob” was also a certified minister in the Methodist church, serving congregations in Yerington and Smith Valley until his retirement in 2019.
Other than writing as an art form, Bob enjoys singing with the Mason Valley Singers and has performed roles in “The Sound of Music” and “The Nutcracker” at the Jeanne Dini Theater.
Bob and Betty reside south of Yerington near the East Walker River on their micro farm of three acres, raising beef and veggies and keeping bees for honey while enjoying the peace and quiet in that area of Mason Valley.
