Big City Bob! What a guy! Condolences and prayers from a long ago fan. Birdie just told me. I smiled and found my 45 and listened to Side Two a few times..... when we met he laughed that I was Bird´s pal from South of Milwaukee and North of Green Bay! He blessed my life and I´d like to honor his. Best wishes, hansen
