Dear Dick and Listmates.
It was with sadness that I received the news from Germany.
Bob, through Stomp Off Records, gave us so much recorded jazz music that would otherwise have been overlooked.
What a great loss. And what a great legacy he has left us.
It was my pleasure to have met Bob and Erda on their visit to Australia and our annual Jazz Convention.  
And to have been selected to contribute to Stomp Off Records in various ways over many years.
Kind regards,
Bill.
