Quotes taken from the article ...... "For many of these artists – vocal groups with names like The Notations, Coffee, The Puzzle People, Sounds of Blackness, The New Concepts, The Conquistadors, and the Soul Procedures – hearing from Abrahamian was the first time in decades anyone cared enough to ask about their music. For both sides, a bond grew that was life affirming and lasted long after the interview was finished. He would do more than research their lives; Austen says Abrahamian often felt a “moral obligation” to play a caretaker role – Helping them move, teaching them computer skills, driving them to the doctor, listening to their stories." "Through a note he left behind, Jennifer says her brother expressed a profound sadness that his life’s work didn’t matter." The world has lost a kind, passionate soul who cared a great deal for his fellow man, so sad that he felt his work in preserving and cataloguing this music, paying homeage and respect to the artists who created it didn't matter .. it did Bob and so did you ! Has anyone thought of sending a floral tribute over from SS members ... if so I would like to make a contribution ... Mike ? Lastly, you fellas are all too good at keeping your emotions hidden and being manly .... if you are in a dark place and need help, then please reach out to friends and family.

Very sad to hear this news ... a very interesting and knowledgeable guy, his contribution will be greatly missed on here.. RIP Bob
