Bob Knigge RIP

Post by George Kimery »

My good friend, Bob Knigge, passed away on Dec. 22nd.

Bob was the bass player for the Everly Brothers during their prime. He played with them on the Ed Sullivan show and on their world tour. Bob also played in several bands in the Los Angeles area. He was also an accomplished magician, specializing in close up magic and card tricks. He was also on the LA police force at one time. He retired from CA to East TN several years ago. He formed a blues band here called Blues Junction. I spent a lot of time with him and will miss him very much.
