Re: Close to tears.
In addition to being a great musician, Bob has quite a limber neck.

Re: Close to tears.
Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen this one until now.
I met Bob at the Vancouver/Gabriola Is. Seminar in 2011. He inspired me in ways never expected. Like...whenever everyone was on a break, most were frantically practicing Stick out in the woods or whatever. And Bob was playing hackey sack. Or throwing a frisbee with his kids.
When every Stick player was playing through big racks of amplification or tons of pedals, Bob played through a small combo amp. Clean.
Nothing wrong with practice, rigs, or pedals. But, his simplicity lifestyle and kind, gentle conversation expanded my Stick playing beyond my expectation. Less is more.
Good stuff.

Re: Close to tears.
YES! A true bard in every sense. He doesn't fancy himself a Stickist so much as a musician, a very adept and proficient musician.

Quote: I think he's using a capo that was my first guess..but since the stick has a damper..why ?!

Re: Close to tears.
To strum it. As if he had open strings
