Had a chance to visit with Bobbe when he played at one of Terry Bethel's steel shows in Branson a few years back. What I saw was a guy who loved to have a good time at what ever he did. You will be missed by all. RS

aside from bobbe's expertise as a great and unique player, and his fun personality, there is another important aspect to consider.
throughout most musician's lives there is usually an important gathering place. many find a little music store with an older owner/picker who is a magnet for others, drawing them to hangaround. this is a very formative point in a young pickers life where you learn the local history, stories of music and players, sharing of licks and encouragement to go for it. i had a couple places like this in sacramento. you'd meet 'real' players and get an honest view of the scene. very important for your development.
i think bobbe's stores have been such places. |

| I will tell you right now that I think that something is wrong here. I knew Bobbe for 25 years. There is absolutely no way that he would EVER not want people to come to his funeral. Something is going on. |

Bobbe also gave me my first job at Steel Guitar World when I first moved to Nashville in 89 till I got on my feet with an artist.
It was Bobbe, Buck Reid, Mike Dailey, GiGi Emmons, myself and a bunch of cats.
I'll miss him a lot.
I remember once he told me that if someone asked what the best sounding guitar in the store was that I was to check the book and tell them "the one with the most mark up".
Sounds like Bobbe, ALWAYS a salesman.
