I woke up with a blurr turned aside and saw mum had placed my letters beside me on my pillows, i rubbed my eyes to open the first letter.. Play workshop notice (letting me know theres a play workshop sometime, if im interested) so it came to the other letter, from sydney.. at first i was like, who do i know who lives in sydney? then it dawned on me, I remember emailing Bob Daisley (dont forget when youre half asleep you're slow lol, well it is in my case) so i opened with caution, first to come out was the stiff card used to keep whats inside straight.. so reached inside for the peice of paper.. my facial reactions went from..

*yawn* to

to

It was Bob Daisley's autograph signed "To Simon All The Best Mate Bob Daisley!" and stood under it was one of his own plectrums.

P.S Mods feel free to move it if its in the wrong post, I would have thought with Bob Daisley knowing Randy it suited here.

P.S.S If you want to see a picture, just ask and ill put one up

Not exactly the right place yep.
BUT I think Bob is a very cool guy, I feel he really helped Randy to come alive muscially when they put the songs together, it wouldn't be the same without Bob, so Bob definitely deserves some attention here!
I mailed Bob a few years ago and got a reply almost immediately!

Put the picture up!

Bob is a class act. I met him when I was 17 outside the old Charlotte Coliseum after the Bark At The Moon show in 1984. I don't recall saying much because I was so nervous but he signed an autograph and seemed to have the time for me had I any questions to ask.

He is a huge, huge part of Randy's success and mostly the reason for Ozzy's success. Save a song or two Ozzy has put out "questionable" material since Bob's departure. It is painfully obvious where those lyrics came from.
