You win the nasty contest Bobert-hands down.

I wasn't just blowin smoke about social workers. Some of the best times in my life (well, with a guitar on my lap anyway) were spent picking with a local social worker-also named Bob.He worked with at-risk teens and I think one of the best tools in his work was music.Bob passed unexpectedly 3 or 4 yrs ago at 49 from a heart attack. Each year they still hold a memorial concert/fundraiser in Bob's honor with the most bizarre set of performers, all of whom show up JUST because of Bob.You get the best of our local old rockers and folkies (which leaves me out for sure) covering "our music"along with teens and 20somethings who are still in or who had been in Bob's programs, doing original material. One minute you've got grey haired fat guys doing the Eagles acousticly, the next minute you've got pierced, tatooed, spikey green haired dudes doing original music & sometimes sharing instuments with the old farts.I couldn't generate such great,cross-cultural,cross-generational Karma in 50 lifetimes.Sorry about the thread drift.
