Location: Boise, Idaho | CBS Sunday Morning had a spot on Bob Seger. Showed him for a couple of seconds from the old days with an Adamas. His hair is pretty gray now, so he doesn't look just like stonebobbo. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I saw I shoot of him in his studio recently and there wher a couple of O's.
I was a Bob Seger fan... for about 15 minutes in 1978. |

Location: Omaha, NE | He had some nice things to say about Ovations in a recent interview...I think it was Guitar World Acoustic, but I'm not sure.
I love his songs. I just wish his voice had been a little lower. We added "Katmandu" to our rotation recently. About have to tie my boys into a knot to make that one work. |

Location: Tennessee | Bob Seger is without a doubt lady stonebobbo's favorite (go figure :) ). So I got some excellent seats for his show here in the SF Bay area next month. I'll report whether he has an A's or O's on stage, but I read somewhere recently he is playing something else these days. |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | His guitarist used to play a Preacher 12. I'm not sure if he used it live or not. |

On a guitar lesson video for "Old-Time Rock-n-Roll" they showed how to do it in two keys.
The key Bob uses, and one for the rest of us who have destroyed their vocal chords, or reached puberty. |

Location: CT | I don't think there's any law that says you can't change a songs pitch a little to accomodate a band's singer. It would sound much better than singing outside a comfortable range.
I was flippin' the channels last night and caught a thing on ABBA, the guitar player had a few O's- slothead 12 string, acoustic 6 something-or-other and a white breadwinner that he seemed to use a lot. |
