Bob sounds great in the vid, Stewart. As usual.

As for where the hair went, that's easy. It's just migrated south on Bob's head. ; D

Hi Mary ... I'll be talking with Stew soon. I don't know the quality of the video yet, but if it's good I imagine he'll post a link to it on the PNFLS website. I'll let you know! I am picking up an apparent good quality audio recrding of the concert later this week. CHEERS, Bob

Any chance of seeing this video? A link maybe? Bob, as far as I can tell, will never get old.

Bob, that is the electric guitar side of things. He's also working on classical.

Stew ... " I got a glimpse of what the young Bob Nelson must have been like ..." I don't know how to break the news to you ... but THIS IS THE YOUNG BOB NELSON! (thanks for the kind words).

I have to agree with Stew that the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society concert venues are really attracting a strong and enthusiastic crowd. Each concert gets stronger and strgonger. Just check out the website and look at the many different venues and past performances. Seattle in 2008 is becoming as vital and alive as it was in the 50's and 60's.

CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson

I just want to report that
Bob did a superb performance yesterday.
Since his return to performing after his retirement
he just gets better every time he performs.
I got a glimpse of what the young Bob must have been like
singing at the Seattle coffeehouses in the 1960s.
He added some new songs to his repertoire -
The Poker Game and Dark Eyed Molly - in addition to
his signature song, Peter Amberly.
The only disappointment was that he didn't sing enough songs,
but we did get him to do an encore.

He was followed by John Weiss and Randall Walker
who also did a fine job of singing and playing
(JW on guitar and Randall on banjo).
They began with When The Whiskey's Gone, and
then did some Utah Phillips songs to commemorate his passing.
Randall sang some of his rare cowboy songs, and
JW had to do a request, Seven Beers With The Wrong Woman.

They had a great audience which joined in the singing.
And the Pacific Northwest Folklore Society
seems to be attracting a good following at its concerts.
I'll try and post some mp3s and videos on the web site soon.

Cheers, S. in Seattle

Black Sabbath Iron Man video.   
He's also learning classical, but it is the rock that is louder and more persistent around the house most days. :)

You're on, Bob! And the grandkid who plays the guitar might enjoy it as well. Do you think there will be any call for Black Sabbath's Ironman? :)

Sorry I can't be in the Puget Sound area this weekend, Bob. (Missed it by THAT much ..... ! Dang!)

Having heard you before, I'm sure it will be a great concert.

Break a leg (or at least a g-string or two).

I'm sure it will be a great concert, Bob! One of these days, when I don't have so much month left at the end of the money, I'll make a trip up and attend one of these concerts of yours!

It worked for a uke player I know. He called into a radio show and sang them a song with his uke while he was driving to work. It won him a ski trip to Colorado.

Thanks for your kind words Wesley. What would even be more memorable would be if got caught driving down the road and playing my guitar at the same time ... again! That REALLY ticks off the local cops! Bob

I wish I could be there. It sounds like a fine evening of music. Your CD gets regular airplay in my car so I'm sure a live performance would be memorable.

Bob,

You forgot to mention that this is one of the
Pacific Northwest Folklore Society's Coffeehouse Concerts
Also on the bill is John Weiss along with Randall Walker.
It should be great!

Here's the poster

I'll see you on Friday.

Cheers, S. in Seattle

Bob Nelson here, in the Seattle area. I will be giving the first half of a two hour concert, this coming Friday evening, September 12th. John Weiss and Randall Walker will be performing the second hour. The location will be "THE CROWN HILL BISTRO", 850 NW 85th ST., Seattle.

This will be my 8th concert, I think, since retiring a couple of years ago. Each concert gets better than the last, and since I've laid down my hammer and picked up my guitar ... I wake every morning with a huge smile on my face.

If you're in the Seattle area, drop in! CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson
