Jo  Rae and Bob Stewart, the on -and Off- stage duo know as True Passion, have
a cover-song repertoire approaching 450 tunes, is entertaining crowds at the
West Pasco nightspot Some Place Else. Stewart plays keyboards and sings lead
on about half the songs, and Joe Rae sings lead on the others. They have multiple
sets of music, Disco, Oldies, and pop. In between they have 100 songs ready to
play as requested by the crowd.
We play songs according to the type of crowd, Says Bob.
The Duo plays doo-wop, Top 40s, rock, country, and contemporary music. Joe
Rae's high range allows her to sing Celine Dion cuts, Shania Twain, and
Patsy Cline hits.
Stewart, originally from London and cousin to rock star, and latter -day
classic tunes crooner - Rod Stewart, has been performing since age 17, and has
seen the world from the stage, so to speak, along with the people and places
that have fitted the times through which he has moved gracefully.
I love doing this, "Stewart say of performing" "It's Great."
He records on Capitol Records Label and also  played with Richard  Santana, a cousin of
guitar wizard Carlos Santana, is friends with Eagles Guitarist, Joe Walsh, and
keeps in touch with cousin Rod.
His impersonation of his cousin is undeniably masterful, and includes the
raspy voice and accent and hairstyle. It is particularly evident when he sings
on bended knee to long-legged, mini skirted blonde Joe Rae during Stewart's
famous "Hot Legs".
Stewart met wife Jo Rae when he saw her singing Karaoke in a local club one
night. Her sister used to sing backup vocals with Tina Turner.
Jo Rae and Bob began their duo act nearly three years ago, shortly after
getting married. They play on Cruise Ships: night Clubs: the Rock Legends
Tour: on which Bob impersonates Rod: Las Vegas, and anywhere that will book
this crooning, balladeering, rock'n'roll duo.
