"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, ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
