I was so saddened to hear last night of Bob's death. He will be sorely missed by many, and I for one regret very much never having had the chance to meet him. English music has lost something irreplaceable, but at least he lived to receive his OBE, a long overdue recognition of his life and work. Condolences to all his family. May he rest in peace.

Contented he'll stay and go rambling no more."
