Bob was a very huge personality and demanded we practice. For a while I was really progressing but personal issues blew a hole in my world for a while. When I decided to stop lessons he was very puzzled and said “ to the day I die I’ll Never work out why I couldn’t make you practice...” he was visibly upset. As I went he wrote something on the back of a card and handed it to me. In his beautiful drummers handwriting: “ You can achieve anything through him who gives you strength.”
