Bob, do you remember playing the Vanguard in Kansas City?

I vividly remember meeting you at the Vanguard, a coffeehouse at 43rd & Main in Kansas City. Stan Plesser ran the place and later Cowtown Ballroom. Two distinct memories of that night:
You deflected requests for "Elusive Butterfly", saying you didn't want to feel like the girl who says to a horny date, "Is that all you want me for?".
and
What a genuinely nice guy you were. You visited with me for several minutes and came across as a very down -to-earth gentleman, not caught up in celebrity.
That night I learned you were much more than "Elusive Butterfly". I became a lifelong fan, purchased several albums, and to this day, "Since There Were Circles" is one of my favorite albums of all time.
If memory serves, yo were living in Santa Fe at the time. Apparently you are now in Florida. Hope you are doing well.
