Bob and I bonded as the only States side attendees at a shanty festival in Hull, England. He was on stage, of course, and I was impressed that the good singers of Hull invited him back again and again. I felt a great honor being able to sing with him at a number of Press Room sings. His performances at the Portsmouth Festivals always wowed me. At Mystic he was, like John Roberts, an icon. What will our world be like without him? Bob was among the best. I will miss him.
