| I didn't go to St. Louis this year, but I have gone to 4 previous ISGC's and always there was this tall guy dressed in black who danced to the music all through the shows. He would stand offstage and to the left right by the large speakers. Anyone know the story on him? Yes, he dances alone. |

| Yes he was there - Very Distracting, even after it was announced by Stoney that no one should stand up in front of the crowd!! |

Aw, come on, man. Distracting? In St. Louis, Bob is considered a barometer for the quality of entertainment.. if he shows up, it's an upper echelon event. He's a local icon and appreciated by local music fans.

Really - If he showed up in our little town of 250 for our Labor Day Parade (which draws about double the people that attend the St Louis show) He would be positioned right behind the horses and he could make his fancy moves with a scoop shovel -and would be appreciated!!

| He jumped up on stage when I was playing in Nashville. It was kind of cool because we were playing a Beatle tune. But he was flailing all over the place right by me, and my steel was shaking violently from his jumping around. Made it tough to play. |

| I know B eatle Bob personally, he's very intelligent and has a wealth of info about all different styles of music. Sometimes he can be a pain, but most local musicians pretty much tolerate without paying him a whole lot of attention.JimP |

| We always look for this guy when we go to St Louis. He's a staple at Scottys Show. You all lighten up on him. He ain't hurting nothing and is just having fun. That's what we all go there for. I've had a lot of worse ones jump on stage when we were playing and knock stuff over and even cause fights. I'm amazed at all the stuff on Google! |

| Beatle Bob is no more irritating than all the pedal steel players doing the same Ray Price songs over and over and over.Kind of like Beatle Bob dancing in front of the speakers,year after year after year. Thank God for Non Pedal Steel Players |
