Its no surprise that Little Bobby is one himself. Little Bobby's first instrument was the drums. He got his first set from his aunt and uncle. His passion soon changed and he was turned on by the sound of the guitar. His first influences were the blues style of Jimmy Page and Jimmy Hendrix. Of course there is going to be diversity in this story. Little Bobby was some what of a wild child partying drugs and the life. Little Bobby ended up serving time in prison on two different occasions. That's were the story of the blues begins. While doing time, Bobby met another Indian brother, who one day told Bobby, "You have a blues voice". Already being self taught the improvising style of the blues seemed like a natural fit.
