Bobbe using a wheelchair

Post by Ken Byng »

Bobbe - sorry to read that you are temporarily confined to using a wheelchair (Bobbe's Tips - 5th March). You haven't had a great deal of luck with your health in the past 4 or so years. Glad you didn't sell both of your planes - just the one. :lol:

Make sure you set the height of the chair right to get under your Emmons and Bigsby. One thing for sure, you will still be able to wear your business hat when it comes to doing those deals that you love doing.

Regards
Ken

I sure am sorry to hear about your situation. I wish you would expand on the damage a little so we can better understand. I will be praying for you.

Spoke to Bobbe today. The body may be a little worn, but the mind and the sprit as well as the humor, is still well intact!

If Seymour is using a wheel chair it's definitely a push pull. With radials. Bobbe, hang in there. It will get better.

Bobbe, I think of you and the great folks at the store every time I pick up my lap steel I bought from you last Fall - As a 6 string guitar player of 45 years, it was my "maiden voyage" into playing a horizontal guitar with totally new ways of picking, damping strings, using bar slants, new tuning, etc., etc., and a bar that can ward off muggers and thieves!

Hey Bobbe, I just bought a new GFI Expo from your store last month - I missed getting to talk to you.

You can't keep a good man down, my friend. You got a pair of lakes pipes up the sides of that thing yet? Baby moons on the wheels? Gonna try to get in next week for some goodies and supplies.

Post by John A. Russell »

He Bobbe

Get well before June.

I'm in Nashville then and am coming to the store to tell you a few more jokes.

Been a couple of years now, since we came over to the States.

Get Well very quickly buddy.

Hi Bobbe,

Great seeing you again last October after so many years. Don't get a speeding ticket in that thing!
