I am saddened by Bob's passing. We chatted regularly and I visited he and Judy at Sunrise. Even played a gig there for the residents. Bob had such an easy going nature to him, with a wise undercurrent of local folklore - most of which was first person. He ran a workshop of Performance Techniques at RainyCamp 2009 that was transformative for me and now when I play in public, I think of Bob and that workshop.

His woodshop was simply amazing. He had so many beautiful artifacts, lovingly carved and finished -- just like his singing. A good portion of the equipment and tools found a new home at the Phinney Neighborhood Community Woodshop.
