Thanks, Mr. Bare...

At the very least, I have to say thanks to Bobby Bare, Jr. for coming to play in Maumee, Ohio a few weeks ago. You gotta love a band that doesn't take themselves too seriously, but also doesn't forget "to leave it all on the court." Everybody at the Village Idiot had a great time, and judging from this photo (courtesy John Rockwood: Blue Suit Records), Bobby had a little fun too. At one point during the performance, the band broke into an improv instrumental of Outkast's, "So Fresh, So Clean"...good stuff. I captured it on video (excuse the "Bigfoot Quality footage")...and speaking of Bigfoot, check out the funky headgear that the bassist was wearing during part of the show. Too cool...I hope these guys continue to make Maumee a regular stop.
