It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Re: Rob

My appreciation of Mengelberg's conducting and my frequent recommendations of his recordings first drew Rob to me and served as a flintstone that sparked many wonderful conversations, debates and shared experiences of music--both here, in other groups, and occasionally in private e-mails. Rob was volatile and never without opinion (on almost any topic!), always ready to argue and lecture, yet always ready to laugh as well, and to yield to bonhomie. Ever fire and balm. As I told him from time to time, he reminded me of a young version of my Opa (grandfather), and since much of my family once lived in Zaandam as Rob did, that seemed quite natural.

Others on this board were much closer to Rob, on a much more regular basis than I, and to them and to Rob's family and other friends, I offer condolences. For the next few days, in this little part of southern Texas, one music lover will play Mengelberg and Van Beinum and think of Rob Sibie and wish his soul peace.
