Subject: RE: Obit: Bobby Thompson (18 May 05) From: Steve Latimer Date: 20 May 05 - 11:48 AM Funny, apparently Bobby thought of himself more as a guitar player who messed around a bit on the banjo. Someone on another forum likened that to Jesus describing himself as a Fisherman who did a little preaching. |

Subject: RE: Obit: Bobby Thompson From: Steve Latimer Date: 19 May 05 - 09:52 PM Fortunately Bobby was able to release a CD of some of his music a few months ago. Appparently there is another in the works and they hope to include some of the famous first meeting jam with him and Bill Keith. He was also a tremendous guitar player. Bela Fleck was a frequent visitor while Bobby was ailing. Thompsonpicks |

Subject: RE: Obit: Bobby Thompson From: CStrong Date: 19 May 05 - 05:26 PM A legend, who, even when very ill, took the time to be human. We corresponded a little. I'll miss him. |

Subject: Obit: Bobby Thompson From: Steve Latimer Date: 19 May 05 - 09:41 AM Banjo Legend Bobby Thompson passed away yesterday after a long illness. Bobby is credited with creating the Melodic style of playing. He is a former Bluegrass Boy.The list of people that he recorded with over the years is mind boggling. He was a regular on Hee Haw. His recording of Mason Williams' "Classical Gas" is 5 string classic. |
