I was 14 when the French Kiss Album came out.
I Listened to that album over & over. It made a big impression on me. At 60, I just re discovered it and still remember all the songs and a lot of the words.
Fun memory.
Bob Welch was unique & talented.
Im sorry to learn Fleetwood Mac hurt his feelings and that he suffered with health problems in the end.
Rest In Peace.

Robert has been there from the very 1st day I picked up the guitar.
It's like someone you've let into your soul and for that he will never leave my heart:(
May your journey find that path to peace my friend.

My deepest sympathies to Wendy and the Welch family. I was terribly saddened to hear about Bob's death. I thought Bob was a brilliant songwriter as well as a great singer and guitar player. Throughout the years I've continued to listen to Bob's Fleetwood Mac albums. Still love them to this day. I've felt very connected to that music. I once thanked Bob for that on his website. He responded kindly. Bob, thanks for sharing your ideas and spirit and music. You will be greatly missed.

My condolences to his family and friends. It is almost impossible to imagine what brings one to that point but we all wish we could prevent it. The best we can do is remember the talent, the love, the fun, and the most generous of memories of those we love and lose in such a tragic way. May you all heal and remember him well.

In 1965 my sister and I visited my grandmother in L.A. She had a friend named Tempe, whose daughter Maggie drove me and my sister to Malibu to hear Maggie's brother's band. It was many years later that I put two and two together and realized that her brother was Bob Welsh. His band inspired me to take up playing the drums, and today music is my passion. Maggie, wherever you are, thank you. I have never forgotten that day. Your brother's music has inspired me for years. I am sorry for your loss.

Bob,
I would like to say thank you for the friendship, although admitedly one sided on many an occasion. I did not keep up the correspondance often enough nor stayed true to my SAG friends and family.
You Bob were one of the great quiet majority for me and I always appreciated any time I was able to listen weather in a large venue or downtown at the shop.
I do hope you shall be able to sleep restfully my friend. Fly free my friend dove, fly free. I love You. Spirit Guide sent forth to Ms.

Bob I arrived in Los Angeles in the early '70's. I saw your band at The Roxy on Sunset during the "Trees" Album. I remember you got a rousing standing ovation after every song. I went out and bought all the music I could find of yours. I was very distressed to learn of your death You were a great guitar player, lyricist, and singer. Strange, but I was just thinking about you and your musicianship and that nite I saw you on Sunset. 10 minutes later the radio news told of your death. Listening to your guitar playing was like watching magic. Rest Easy,Mate.....
