Ever since learning of Bob’s passing, I’ve been flooded with many memories, all of them quite delightful. What a treat is was to have grown up in a time and a place with so many great garage bands. Bob was definitely a dues paying member of the, “Salem Garage Band Society of the 60’s.” “The Pit”, “The Exit”, Leslie Sock Hops, South High Dances! Great times! Although I was always the singer in a “rival” band, I greatly admired Bob’s vocal ability and his stage presence; he knew how to sell a song. And oh those wonderful, sometimes hazy, days in the basement listening to all the new tunes. I think my most long-lasting memory of Bob has to be his pleasant, slightly impish, smile. It kind of made me feel like I was hanging out with a Leprechaun who had just found his pot of gold and was loving his life. R.I.P. Bob, and keep on singin’!
