[Hoopermazing]

$15!!!! Just on the basis of who has verifiably played that bass, some investment banker would pay $100K for that thing in a heartbeat.

Bob is a perfect example of how you can tell how warm and engaging a person is by listening to his music and by the interview.Bob is a treasure of American music!!!And his humor comes through in telling the "Whispering Willie"story
