So nice (and relieved) to hear you sounding well and alive! You really deserve a good, long vacation and I hope your work will relax during summer. Thank you for offering another episode and for working on the composers’ episode when I imagine you don’t even have time for your own guitar practice… I hope we get to see you play one of the Grade 7 pieces in the near future.
Hi Bob,
It was very nice to learn about your career and experience in scientific research, including your time in New Mexico! I enjoy following CGC members who are learning a musical instrument for the first time and always find their efforts inspiring. I remember you were the first one to play in the Pool last year and really enjoyed that, too. Thank you for sharing your stories.
Hi Roger, I listened with pleasure to the preceding two podcasts with Richard and Aiko, but somehow my good intentions to give you all a high five was sandbagged by procrastination and forgetfulness. But today I did my usual and took a walk and enjoyed very much the conversation with Bob — so let’s consider this a Trifecta of bravi and best wishes. — Bruce
I really enjoyed listening to your story. Particle accelerators would be very cool toys to play with. Your description of your physics career was captivating. Best wishes in your guitar journey.
Roger, another great podcast…thx! I don’t know the UCLA prof who was the consultant to The Big Bang Theory. I have seen the show a few times, but can’t watch shows with a laugh track. My friend, a native French speaker, really liked the laugh track because she said that when she laughed first she knew her English skills were becoming strong. She is a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory.
Aiko, Bruce, and Scott,
Thanks for your comments. I actually was very upset with myself after the interview. I droned on about my work and turned the conversation into mostly a monologue. Roger is always so polite and patient. Should have spent more time conversing with Roger about guitar. I do really enjoy learning to play. Working on Grade 2 pieces so far has been a challenge; especially for me the Giuliani Etude No. 1. Measures 9-12 really stretch my fingers and my ability. Thanks again, Roger, for being such a kind host.
Bob Reading all these comments have really intrigued me to listen to this podcast once I get my projects at hand finished. I can’t wait to listen especially because you don’t only talk about Guitar but you talk about your journey as as a scientist. I can’t wait to hear this! #BruceDonehwer or is it suppose to be @BruceDonehower either way I hope Brosey see this that I’m definitely going to use your phraseology when I procrastinated something. Sandbag! Ha ha that is supposed to read I hope Bruce sees this this format would not allow my cursor to be moved. Roger when do these podcasts start up again?
Heidi,
Thanks for the comment. Talked too much about my work as a scientist and not enough listening to Roger asking questions about guitar. A learning experience.
Don’t be upset with yourself Bob! It was a great interview and I personally found your story fascinating. The world needs more scientific heroes as yourself, especially in today’s world. Never stop with your love of guitar and science. If it wasn’t for science and music the world would be a much less enjoyable place to live. Thank you for your service!!
Hi Roger I just caught up on the latest podcast with Bob. As soon as I heard the words “particle physicist” I immediately though of the The Big Bang Theory (I’m a huge fan!) and I really enjoyed the whole interview.
Bob – don’t appologise for talking about your work, I found it absolutley fascinating and really enjoyed hearing about it. Good luck with Grade 2 – I know what you mean about the Giuliani Etude but it does get easier!
Another great interview! Bob, I enjoyed hearing about your career as much as I did about your guitar journey. While I’ve still been playing lately, I’ve been of bleh about it. You’re talk on practice (of all things!) started to get me motivated again and out of a rut.
Roger, you do an excellent job of keeping you’re guests talking and I enjoy all the non-guitar things you lead them to. We all get to learn more about each other as people and that is a truly amazing gift you’re giving to us. Keep up the good work!
Hi Bob, I really enjoyed hearing about your fascinating career! It seems like a natural that you would want to learn classical guitar, especially with the patience you have developed over the years!
Roger you are so friendly and inclusive, you make everyone feel welcomed! Thanks for bringing our community together.

Wonderful interview, Bob and Roger. So much to get through – it look two full gym visits to listen right through. I think your career in particle physics was fascinating, Bob. You were so enthusiastic about what you have done and achieved. I remember being introduced to the Van de Graaff generator in my last year at high school [yeah, I know, that’s just electrons getting a bit excited], seeing the low-energy particle physics set up at Auckland University (one of my class mate’s father was a Professor there), and learning about nuclear physics and all the exotic particles. It is so lovely to have you as a colleague at CGC.
Roger!!

Science and Guitar do mix!
Nice work Roger and nice to learn all about you Bob :)
