Ode to Bob

A best friend, a co-composer, an excellent guitarist BobH has passed and now is playing in God's heaven. I tried to emulate the sorrow and at times frustration this sad event has caused for friends and family.

RIP Bob

Mario,
I can hear the ache in this piece. I am so sorry for your loss - it is clear that Bob and his friendship mean a lot to you. While it is comforting to know he has gone to a better place, it is the loss of everything they were in THIS place that can be so hard to bear. I pray that in the days ahead, your memories of him will preserve you and make you smile. Our thoughts are with you.
Andrew

So sorry for your loss, Mario. This one definitely pulls at the heart strings and the ache and void a loved one leaves behind. Fortunately, you have the talent to fill that space with music...and just enough love and hope punctuated by the angelic to see friends and family through.

"Ode to Bob" is a beautifully realized composition—a fitting and heartfelt farewell that demonstrates the enduring bond between two musician friends. It is a moving meditation on friendship and the painful reality of saying goodbye.
That is my take away from your profoundly magnificent personal and affecting instrumental tribute.

On a brighter note (pun intended)

Bob has finally decided to join the celestial band. He’s just relocated to a venue with better acoustics and a much more impressive lineup.

With deepest care, ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Izzy.

Just from the title I suspected the loss. So sorry to hear, Mario. You two were special, and I'm glad you're pouring out that special connection in this fabulous tribute. Chills hold back the tears, but the sadness is loud, yet tamed in wonderful memories. You had mentioned your Sunday-kind-of-love with Bob had bumps, but the love remains. This is beautiful, Mario. Thanks so much.


Enjoy whatever happens!

I'm sorry to hear about Bob. You have made a beautiful tribute to him. Sorrow is deeply present in your playing, in the melody and in the chord progression. The calm instrumentation feels like a Sunday morning... I really liked the heavenly end, like a smile from a cloud.

Mario ...

This is beyond beautiful ... I'm not sure what word applies, but it must be a gorgeous one.

Losing a best friend is like losing a family member. But friends are just that by choice. And that gives them a special place in our hearts that no one else can fill. So sorry to hear this. Wishing his family peace and strength. And wishing you the best as time moves on.

All the best ...

So, so beautiful. Love the violin playing. Incredibly evocative track.

So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute, though. Anyone that elicits such sorrow on his passing from someone else must have been a good guy ... and you know exactly how to convey how remembering him has made you feel.

Beautiful ending, with the choir.

Thank you so much, for sharing this track with us. I'm on my second listen, now. God bless.

Hi, Mario.

Nice tribute.

I assume the bluesy guitar licks were a references to Bob's guitar playing.
