PRINTED (3) photos of Rudy Robinson and (24) photos for RJ Spangler.
>>Bomacs for Rudy Robinson Tribute, **photos took (xx), the place was packed.

Note:
I went there with nothing but good intentions but was confronted by the Family > Lawyer and the Surviving Family Members > Nephew, Niece, Jr, older brother and Mom -- the Lawyer tried to intimidate me and the Family joined in >>

This is in regards to a Video/film that I OWN through "PUBLIC DOMAIN" telling me they will SUE me if I do anything with that Video.

I said something to the fact, that he the Lawyer, didn't have to be rude or mean sounding to me, when I came here to meet the famliy and see whats going on. Lawyer said "I don't care about your feelings"

This all happened after he asked Me "What did I plan on doing with the Video" I said "that IF the Video ever went for sale it probably would cost $15" and He asked "How much is going to the Family", I said "NONE" this made him mad.

Anyway this Video is of the Heritage Series Detroit Blus Guitar II filmed at the Scarab Club on the 16th Feb 2002

The show was about Bobby Murray and Robert Penn (not Rudy)
