Someone who was at the Charlotte Blues Talent Competition recorded it and uploaded it to their youtube account. If you make an account of your own, you can send them a PM, either thanking them or reaming them out.

Certainly one of such circumspect manner and dignity, and with such consistent and ever pleasing demeanor, should have no fear that anyone should ever speak - or post - anything suggestive of any but deepest and most sincere respect, whether it is respect for your person or for the persuasive honor and integrity displayed in all your acts and your deeds.

And of course those of immense talent must anticipate that the admiration of their follows will inevitably provoke some of them to the attempt at enlightening the uninformed of the joy to be found in sharing in the experience of everything you do. Your humble acceptance of the adulation of whoever may have placed a small fragment of the talents for which you are so well known, and your gracious acceptance of the attempt to honor you, as inadequate as such efforts may be, surely must can only further enhance the esteem in which you are held by all.

(Or some such B.S. like that.)

For those who don't read reviews, here is what the man said about Bobert: "Close your eyes and be taken back to a front porch on a shack in the Delta on a hot, steamy night. Sidewalk Bob delivers real, raw blues. He does it with style, and he does it with respect for bluesmen of old.

"It's easy to hear that he has a true feel, a true love and a true understanding of this music. You'll be instantly smiling, bobbing your head and tapping your foot. The only thing missing is the scratches of an old 78 RPM record or the background sounds of a juke joint.

"Besides his originals, Sidewalk Bob applies his unique style to songs from past blues greats - and makes them his own. He's even put his blues trademark on a couple of country songs. It'll be hard to listen to the original artist and not compare it to Sidewalk Bob's version.

"Musicians will hear some non-standard tunings as Bob uses his slide to coax music from his Dobro, Back Porch'r and Lowebow. His picking can only be described as 'tasty'. Hard to believe that all that music comes out of one hillbilly from a hollar in Virginia...."

I couldn't agree more. Good work, Bob! Makes me homesick to see you in person again.

Hay Bob!!
You should give it some thought about coming up Montreal way. You would have a place or two (3 even) to stay. Friends like 999 and Bobad are close by plus a few other Catters. Free room and board, make a little money as well.

Lots of good beer. Even got some of that training beer (Light Beer) but I'm afraid paying for your flight won't happen with the money you would pick up. Was a thought anyway.

Drive on up (to heck with garden maintenance!) and I'm sure there are multiple 'Catters on the route who would house and feed you and scare up a gig or 3 on the way.

Now see me? I was attracted to the thread title. It ain't often you see something like that on the 'Cat and I tell ya' the whole thing excited the hell outta' me.

But then I opened the thread and right away it began to go straight ta' hell. I mean, it did! The first thing I notice is its a Bobertz thread instead of one by maybe some porn star or a spread by some hot actress like that Charlize Theron. But it was Bobertz. I was still hoping it was some home movies of him and P-Vine......or maybe just P-Vine by her own self!   Alas again my hopes were dashed.

I pull the damn thing up and all I get is some lame old motherfuicker sittin' in the dark and mumblin' something while he noodles around on some stupid looking device purporting to be a guitar. So where's the fuckin'? This whole thread title business is all a steaming pile of crap 'cause there ain't nothin' in this video even close.

Well, maybe there is.....Did y'all watch the old guy act like he was jackin' off the guitar? For a moment I thought that might lead to something............but it didn't. Then there was the other hand which I thought he was perhaps showing us some sort of aggressive diddling technique but no real woman showed up.....just the gutiar-like gizmo. Only two things had me stumped..............

Number One---Who is the old bastard mumbling about some house in the Sun somewhere and then there is Number Two---I wonder if that might be some of the very best bottleneckin' I ever heard 'cause when I listen to this guy I feel like I should be eating barbeque in Yazoo.................

Tell ya'll the truth, I didn't have a clue it was there... I knew that it was recorded and asked the lady if I could have a copy of it and she said she couldn't any longer find it in her computer... That was 3 0r 4 months ago... I do Google myself up about once a month to see if anything new is there or someone is trying to cop my name...

I was completely surprised to see it there...

BTW, if anyone with the magic wand wants to change the title of the thread it's fine with me...

Yo, Tooter... If ya wanta here some more send me $12 and I'll send you my latest CD or go the CDBaby and buy one of the last few remaining copies of my "13 Shades of Blues" CD... I don't have but one left, myself... And I'm keeping it...

Well, I'd like to thank all of you for the positive comments... I'd like to one day have someone video some stuff with the Lowebow and drums (One Man Band)... I'd just like to see it for myself how I stack up against Ben Prestage...

BTW, that instrument is indeed a cigar box, two dowel rods (broom sticks), 4 strings and 3 pickups... Very primitive...

I must say that since the name change in the title, this thread has lost all sense of panache and daring.................plus it makes me feel like I am lost in the land of the Goobercrap.........The guy with the guitar gizmo still makes me smell smoking pork and river mud.

Yup, that is pork and river music, fir sure, Spawzer... I learnt it down in the land of pork and river... Ain't no possum and creek Piedmont blues like back here in the Virginia and Carolinas...

Thanks, Michelle... I tried lookin' like you thought I would... lol...
