i can hardly believe he's not mentioned
more often on the lists. in any case, i recommend his
shows to anyone who loves whatever style of music he's
playing at any given gig. and say hi when you see him,
he's a real nice guy to boot.
Rob is well known to this list, but ..... I'll pipe in about how great he
is, both as a player and all around musician. And yes, a nice and down to
earth guy. I've seen Rob many times thru the years, and i have many great
memories of him tearing it up on stage. He can be very animated at times and he's
a treat to watch as well as listen to. In fact, Jason Ricci's performances
remind me of Rob, tho I've yet to see JR as animated as I've seen Rob !
Rob's repertoire is not only varied, but u can go to show after show
without tiring because Rob's breaks are all pretty much spontaneous and
extemporaneous and always different. And he always gets great musicians in the bands.
One of the best duets I told him i've ever heard was between Rob and
Howard Levy when HL helped Rob with Harpin' for Hunger a few years back. It was
mind blowing - Rob playing fantastically, and Howard matching note for note in
a different octave, both in second position. Rob, i want to know - did u
ever put that duet on a CD? Was it as good as i mbr?
Rob, how's that for a little ass kissing? ha.
