<p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/thetincanandroid.bsky.social/post/3l537cydh5j2w" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">A video</a> I saw on BlueSky of a guy playing a cigar box guitar, while wearing a tin can helmet/mask, made me think of a teacher I had many years ago. That teacher told us to call him Professor Bobo (his name was Bobby Hansson) and he wore loud Hawaiian shirts with even louder wide neck ties. He had a big white and grey beard and his straight gray hair was
cut a bit below his ears. He had the look of a 70s Santa on vacation. I adored him.</p>
<p>I took a workshop with him at Penland School of Crafts at the
suggestion of a friend who was a full time student there. Even though I didn’t have any particular interest in his subject matter at the time, she knew I would be inspired by his style. The class was Tin Can Artwork and today I’m even gladder that I took it than I was at the time.</p>
