His first job at 14 or 15 was working at Clawson's Music, a local Mom & Pop store. Well, actually, it's a Pop, Son & Grandson business. (Bob, Bubba & Bobby...is that a great Texas naming tradition, or what? ) Eventually Bob Long graduated from being a step-n-fetch-it worker in the store to doing setups and repairs. While his career took him on a different path, and keeps him busy, he always wants to have guitar projects. As he's said before, it helps fund his own GAS/guitar projects.
