When I fell on the guitar player midshow....
Bobby Fun Facts: Bobby was one
of the original Swingerhead band members. Family and more music
gigs took him back up to New York. Bobby still makes frequent guest
appearances with the band and toured with Michael Andrew and Swingerhead
in the Fall 2002 national Community Concerts Tour.
It is rumored that Bob's Big Boy copied Bobby Brennan's hairstyle
because it is so cool.
