(Before Robin passed away, this comment from the youtube video link below):

You have probably heard that Barry sang to Robin and Robin's kids played music to him, which actually brought him out of the coma. Fantastic, get well soon robin, a lot of people love you man.

I am thankful that he and his family got to spend just a bit more time together, for more closure, and that Robin is resting now in peace.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

I really liked the early pre-disco BeeGees even if it was kinda sappy pop music.

I recently played/sang To Love Somebody solo backing myself on dobro (go figure).
People there really liked it. There are a couple other BeeGee songs from that
time I may cover someday as well.

BTW - I don't sound a thing like Micheal what-his-name. Or any of the Gibbs Bros.

They did a Spectoresque production of that song, but it lends itself to many other country, blues, rock, and pop renditions, and it was a popular cover song in its time. Otis Redding supposedly was set to record a version at the time he died.

With that Wizards wig on, you might pass for a Bee Gee. Maybe sometime I'll leave the comfort of my castle and go see you play.

This next one really made me appreciate just how good the BeeGees were, and for how long. They are really young but in perfect harmony.
