Song #1 is a demonstration Bob's newer culturally blended playing style where he puts it all together in a song called Down the Road. In this one short song you can hear elements of delta blues, ragtime, calypso and the earliest New Orleans 2nd line style of jazz. Down the Road an amazing tour de force of stylistic guitar playing

throughly enjoyed this. That guy is an absolute wizard with that guitar. I have seen nothing like that before. He reminds me of a gypsy you would see wandering around India or something. I liked reading your experience and analysis over him too. I could definitely see where it would be hard to go back and play the guitar after hearing him play. I would seriously pay good money just to be able to do this last song.

I first read all you wrote about the man and song, then read the lyrics. When I actually watched the video, the tone and beat of the song completley surprised me. By the looks of the lyrics I was counting on a doom and gloom sounding song, but it was not at all! I didn't necessarily like the song but I found it interesting.
