Your name came up recently while talking with the lead singer of my band, Tom Bowes (formerly of Tower of Power). He says he used to run with you in "the days". We shared fond memories of you and the Piano Bar and Call Backs. Hope all is well. Good luck in Happy Days.

Don't know if you remember me but I was the cocktail waitress at "The Piano Bar" in NYC when it began with Marty Goetz. I was just watching a program on Bob Dylan and brought back memories of those days so I googled you and Marty and was happy to find such fun and interesting websites on you both. Ahhhh, those were the days!

Was your father's name John? Our family remembers you singing and dancing at the Panther's Club children's Christmas party. Was your father a fire fighter? My father, Charlie, was a fire fighter. Did you father cook cacoila at St. Michael's Club on Whitman Street? The best we ever had. Good cook.
Just curious.

Comments:Mr. Amaral,
Long time since we spoke my handsome fantasy man. After looking at your most recent addition to area where you display your reviews, I noticed there is nothing since October of 2004. I was wondering if you are aware its almost April. Have you left the show? Are you in some kind of trouble? Is Ernie Sabella now doing Max as Bob Amaral? Are you in fact, actually Bob Amaral? I am reticent to tell you what I've been doing, since I'm not sure you are on the tour anymore. Suffice it to say, I have been doing some underwater spot welding, and a bit of wife swapping. My career is very much in a state of flux as a director since I have so many offers for work, but can't remember what they are! WEll, if you are indeed still around, please contact me as soon as possible. Stay handsome...............Malibu Man

So on behalf of all of us from the old days in Boston and the folks who just met you last Thursday (Paul, Barbara, Doug, Sonya, Caitlin, Milton and Sallie), thanks for a fantastic show. We hope you and J will take the time for a longer visit the next time you're in Beantown. Until then - break a leg!

Comments:Hi Bob-It was great seeing you again. It brought back a lot of great memories of Leland Powers and things I hadn't thought about in years. I really enjoyed your performance in "The Producers" on 2-25-05 in Boston. I always wanted the life in theater, but it just didn't work out that way, but seeing you on stage just made me feel great. A lot of water over the dam since 1968 at WLPS, but time has not erased the warm memories of those days and you. Congratulations on a wonderful career-hopefully, it won't be another 38 years before I see you on stage again. Wayne

Mr. Amaral. I see you are currently performing in the city of Norfolk, Virginia. I have left my seed with many a fine woman there and believe I must have 9 or 10 children living in that fine state. I remember the cheer of my state college at Norfolk......
" We don't smoke, we don't drink, Norfolk, Norfolk!"
Well I am currently casting my next big motion picutre, a hilarious comedy about the drug cartel in Columbia. With your swarthy good looks, and command of dialects, I hear you do a mean Slavic dialect in your current production, there might be a part for you in my movie. Please let me know your production schedule, and maybe we can rendezvous in Tulsa, the home of my sister to whom I was briefly married, and talk about a part in my movie. Until then, I wish you happy hunting, and a very merry Christmas...........

Comments:Dearest Mr. Bob"Now my waist is 22 inches" Amaral,

What a stunning young man you have become. As I travel around the country looking for stunning young men to put in my movies, I think about the possibility of your appearing in in one and I get all bubbly. I hear your performance as a scenery chewing delicatessan owner is one I must see. I also understand you will be playing in theaters all over the state of California, which as you can see by my moniker, is my home state. I will be sure and travel to each and every theater, stalking you like a wild berry, in order to see your performance. I will expect free house seats wherever I go, and a lovely ahi tuna dinner at the conclusion of each performance . Until then, I will continue to look for gainful employment for you in my motion pictures, and will hope that you can keep your girlish figure so that you will be stunning on screen. All the best...Malibu Man

I would recognize your voice anywhere. In fact I think it was an atari commercial that I heard one and ran to the TV because it sounded like you and to my suprise it was! We are all doing great, I have become recently engaged and living in Freetown still. I just was putting up my christmas tree last week and came across those ball things you guys found on the beach at Cuttyhunk with mom and dad when we saw you last. Mom made ornaments out of them.(Weird huh?) I wish you the best and hope to see you when you are around visiting home sometime. Lots of love..Amy

My favorite Aunt told me to check out your website. Michael and I have been enjoying your clips and commercials! My favorite role of yours isn't there, however. I think you should rethink your decision to NOT include the Pied Piper role. You looked so great in those tights!
We couldn't be happier for your role in The Producers and are eagerly looking forward to seeing you in January!
Know that we are taking wonderful care of your Mom!!!
Be well.
