Good morning!
Monday, Jan 12, 2026 - Posted by Rich Miller * Bob on Bobby…
Bobby’s guitar playing was almost amorphous. But he elevated the second guitar role into a work of art and found a way to do it without drawing attention to himself. You just had to be there, I guess. * I have some Bobby stories that I’ll share this week. But here’s a long recording from The Mosque in Richmond many, many moons ago. If you don’t have a lot of time, just skip through it and you’ll see how right Bob was about Bobby… RIP

I just noticed that comments were accidentally turned off on this post. Sorry about that.

Bobby inspired me to play guitar and I am still at it 35 years later. This is a tremendous loss to the world, but the music never stops (banned punctuation)

Online the last couple of days you can find multiple posts indicating that other musicians loved Bob Weir and have really great things to say about him as a person as well as a musician.
I like to tell people I met Bob, but honestly I was walking out of the Park West as he was walking in. I said “Hey Bob!” and he just kept walking. Wish it was a better story than that.
As an old school Deadhead I loved the music and as a guitar player I am amazed at what he could do. RIP Bobby.

Not sure what to say about Bob Weir other “thank you” for all the great music. He immeasurably added joy to my life and, by all accounts, was a good and decent person. May he sit at the Right Hand of God.
