The sound enthralled and captivated me and Bob Johnson's guitar and arrangements were certainly a large part of it. I quite liked "The King of Elfland's Daughter", also. I guess it's par for the course to say that someone is "underrated", but I really thought that this was the case with Bob Johnson's guitar work. Anyway, many thanks for all the pleasure and inspiration. R.I.P |

I wonder if the band knew he was on his way out? Condolonces to his family and loved ones. The world is certainly a poorer place without talent like his |
