Wow!
He was 80 years old and just picking up his amps from the repair shop.
Bob Wood plugged in his 1968 Epiphone Riviera to test them at a Nashville shop in 2014, played "Bésame Mucho," and a tech grabbed a camera.
Back in 1968, he'd turned down Sam Phillips' offer to play sessions at Sun Records so he could raise his nine kids.
Bob passed in 2022 at 88. He played to the end.

First Record of The Weekend is Tystnad (meaning "Silence") from @FlowersDaun (Flowers Must Die) on @RocketRecording. Another brilliant album from this ace Swedish combo, recorded at the famous Silence Studios in Sweden. It pays dividends to increase the volume to maximum.

First Record of The Weekend is @theodysseycult Vol 3. I bloody love this - I've been listening to it constantly. Fuzz, melody, noise - this album has it all. Featuring ex members of Sonic Youth, Comets on Fire and Carlton Melton - quite the pedigree. Can't recommend this enough.
