Spent most of yesterday in shock when I heard about all this.
Over the years I've seen Bob perform countless times and he inspired my guitar playing more than most.
Having spent the evening wondering whether I should even be playing resonator slide guitar (and using many of the techniques that I learnt from him), I'm now of the opinion that it's now become the duty of acoustic slide guitarists to reclaim that particular niche in fingerstyle Blues and so removing Bob's association with the style.
When people think of modern-day Delta Blues, Brozman's name is first on the list for more or less everyone. That's got to change.
I'm not certain it's even appropriate to be discussing music right now given the awful nature of his crimes but for those relatively few musicians that can play the style, it's become more important than ever for us to get out the house and into the bars and clubs to perform.
