at Wembley Arena. He doesn’t do chat. He just plays the songs. At the end he introduces the band. I couldn’t see as well as I’d hoped (I forgot to take my glasses) but row 11 is not too bad, and there were times when I could see Bob’s face (difficult under his big white hat) quite clearly. One of the special things about him is his jerky movements – just turning his head or rocking it in time to the music – there is just something very characteristic about it. Very good music; we enjoyed our outing very much, tho it was after midnight when we got home.

It’s strange about the lack of chat tho. Why does Bob not connect with his audience? Does he hate and despise us all? You get a much better idea of him from reading his book or listening to Theme Time Radio Hour.
