My children and I were loft neighbors of your father’s. I am so sorry that he has passed. I remember how kind he was to my young son whose father was absent. His music was great and he as a kind person. I photographed his concert in Berkley with Chuck Metcalf. The photos have been lost but not the memories.

i met bob in the 70s on the big island of Hawaii…
he was in my band… we played wierd stuff that
i wrote… he was wonderfully unusual… this is
the first i’ve heard he’s gone… when we played my first song together, he got up from his drums and walked over to me and said – i gotta shake
you hand… i dont know what the fuck you did
with that time change… neither did i… i was lucky to have him play with me…

Just wanted to say thank you for writing such wonderful things about my father. But the best is yet to come I am putting together a Fundraiser in the memory of my dad in April 2008. Anyone interested in helping me plan this event can reach me at my email address aileempenn@yahoo.com, looking forward to see everyone that cared aboutmy day there. Please pass the word along so that i can make this event a very special one.

Thank,

Aileen
