Subject: RE: Bob Kotta - sad news
Valerie who used to call dances at the New Melody? Good to hear from you if it is. And welcome to the Mudcat either way.

I don't doubt your experience at all, and I think it may well have been Bob knocking. If you listened closely you might have even heard him singing the old song by Tony Orlando and Dawn. No, on second thought, I doubt he'd ever sing that one. Anyway, you might be interested in this old thread in which I describe my own experience along that line, with lots of Mudcatters chiming in.

Riggy, I don't have "Tequila in the Jar, but I think Bob may have written The Bug-Eye, which is in the DT. I heard him sing it, anyway, and I think the words in the DT are from the transcription I posted back in '99 when I was a newcomer here. Maybe somebody knows if he did write it.

Aloha,
Mark
