Little Bobby was one of the most genuine, honest, hard working, best hearted men that ever walked the earth. He is greatly missed/

Take the time to introduce someone young to music... and play a few songs with someone old.

Bobby brought me to this part of the world in 1966 and introduced me to pickers like Billy Arr, Wade West, Ron Rooks, Red Ryder...and it went on from there. Bobby passed Nov. 28 of 2009. He is my friend and I owe a lot to Bobby, things I can no longer repay to him so try to pass it forward. And yes, he looked a lot like Dickens and would sometimes be taken for Tater when we were out on the road. He'd just sign Dickens' name to autographs because nobody believed him when he denied that he was Dickens. And we wouldn't anger them, just smile and sign and go on.
