Bonaparte Crossing The Rhine

[@randyjohnson9507]

Bob understands that the music he makes is much more than technical skill. He truly imparts a little bit of his soul into everything he plays. Thank you very much, and know that it is greatly appreciated.

[@daniellefenda1841]

I comment very rarely on this platform, I loved your rendition of Mississippi Sawyer, then I saw the beautiful Martin, now I can't decide what's prettier, whether it's your playing or the guitar! Well done, hats off, sir!

[@railroader555]

If ever old Norman departs this planet he will leave big shoes to fill. You my friend are a real contender. Thank you for this.

[@missouriboy66]

Appreciate the kind words, but my feet will never be big enough for those North Georgia shoes… ;-)

Incredibly beautiful. I am busting my butt trying to learn these beautiful picking tunes from the masters. You are included in that pantheon sir. At 73 I may have waited too long to reach such lofty goals, but I am fueling my wrinkled soul with joy while I try. Thank you!

Well-played Bob! That guitar sounds great too!!

This guy is an unreal musician. Maybe the most underrated flatpicker out there.

What amazing musicality...! In a world of shredders this guy is a true artist of melody, rhythm and tone!

Wonderful pickin, Bob. You make that pre-war sing real nice.

Having previously liked this, I wish I could press like once more. Melodious flat picking is the best to my ear. Thanks.

There is a particular beauty in everything I’ve heard Bob play. Keep posting these beautiful works of art.

[@rainerbrunn-countrybluespi514]

Now this is for sure amongst the most tasteful flatpicking I ever heard. Such a joy to listen. Thank you!

[@tanyiatarkington2538]

Par excellence. There’s nothing like the sound of crosspicking on a vintage Martin. Spot on. Thank you. 🎧

That's our Bob, all the right notes at all the right times!

[@TheGuitarsquatch]

I just discovered Bob because this video was recommended. I should create a night time playlist of his videos because the light, steady, dreamy playing would surely make perfect lullabies.

[@bhuntercpa]

Magic's in that right hand...

[@rodneyyarbrough6524]

First time I've seen you... won't be the last. Very clean pickin'. Norman has always been one of my favorites. I've seen him and Nancy several times. He used to come to Huntsville quite often. Keep tickling the strings my friend. I really enjoy it.

[@MagnusMonsted]

Your playing makes me feel like humankind is truely a blessing to this world when we can produce such beauty. Thank you

Great picking on a very cool tune. Amazing tone on that old Martin. Our Irish band plays a tune by the same name but it’s a hornpipe and definitely a different melody.

[@es175rlm]

[@tonymyers5939]

I listen to your playing and videos over and over and try to decipher what it is that makes your guitar work so interesting & satisfying. It is clean with great tone, and it is always melody focused with tasteful embellishment, but it has a specific "Je ne sais quoi" that I can't quite pin down. I am leaning toward it simply being your love of the music that exudes in your playing. I believe you could play the single note sheet music for "Shoo Fly" out of Mel Bay's "Learn To Play The Guitar", volume 1, and it would sound incredible. Great playing as usual, & I appreciate & enjoy your videos. 👍

[@andysanchez1]

Wow, you’re amazing

[@vladimir74561]

Sounds a lot like Norman, which is the highest compliment I can give any guitar player. But I am a fiddler primarily and trust me, this is usually played in D on that instrument. But I met the master a couple of times, and he told me on one of those occasions that in playing a fiddle tune of the guitar, you sometimes have to change the key. But I've always wondered if somebody has ever tried to prove Norman wrong and has worked out a decent arrangement of this tune in D on the guitar.
