5. Thanks!
We have a large pen and ink sketch of Robert hanging in our living room. Biker13 has been a blues man for most of his life. Plays a hell of a slide!

We'll watch "Crossroads" tonight in Robert's honor!

7. Look at his hands.
Nobody has hands like that. They are huge, and his double joints have double joints.
