He’s a pro and a joy to work with.

BTW, credit should also be given to Anil Kapahi, who also shot video with me on this project, and provided the location. Anil is a professional photographer, and you can see his work here:

Specialization is for insects.” -Robert A. Heinlein

I always thought “play a musical instrument” should be added to that quote. Bob sure has that downpat, and I bet he can handle everything else on that list too.

Thanks for the video!

Mr. Knetzger is displaying that quiet, confident competence that makes most younger musicians seem twitchy and anxious by comparison, regardless of their raw talent.
