Doyle collaborated with all the member of Narrow Margin/Strutter (when Narrow Margin released the aforementioned track on Boston RR Anthology Vol 3 in the mid 80's.. they were just teenagers at the time...) Bobby Doyle John Rudnicki, Tommy Hager, Paul Hagerty TL Mulvey.

Thinking back Doyle said “It's all a blur at this time really...lol I would hum the music upstairs at The Pixie Cinema practice space that we rented, the band members would search the chords out from my humming and singing and I would write the hook and the lyrics.

This particular song " Midnight Rockin' " was a tribute to all my favorite 50's 60's And 1970's musical artists. The Hit Makers.

Listening to those songs all on vinyl drove my imagination into the no limits stratosphere. This particular song is dedicated to all those contributing musician friends from the 1980's that fed my energy and my musical passion in those groups of rag tag teenagers. The 2025 version of "Midnight Rockin' " was co-produced by Bobby Doyle and engineer Laird Scott Of Dubuque , Iowa.

I recorded the song in the living room of my historic 1884 Victorian Home in Dubuque Iowa. The acoustics were perfect.

The musicians on “Midnight Rockin' “ feature on drummer Mauro Magellan From The Georgia Sattelites (Hand Me No Lines And Keep Your Hands To Youself) and my accompanying musician friends Steve Greenwood on Keyboards , Hammond Organ and harmony vocals, Willie Hammell on lead and rhythm guitars Billy Grubb on bass, lead guitar and rhythm Guitar. All musicians are from the surrounding areas.
Iowa and Wisconsin bands helped me reform the structure and the chords to this song making a true keepsake treasure of my youth.

In the 1990's I left Boston and moved to the Midwest to Join a national touring group: The Torpedoes/Little Vito and The Torpedoes. Opening for national acts all over the United States and Puerto Rico! It had been an amazing Dance of Love Passion Sweat and Tears to Dance with my dear Misstress "Music"

I still perform, Festivals Casinos and Night Clubs!! I miss Boston with all my heart and my soul...Im still just a kid from Roxbury Mission Hi from an all Irish and English immigrant family, I'm first generation American and I promise to keep carrying the love of my family and my friends back in Boston with me...

Like a well healed chip on my shoulder
