Mags, I remember "Detriot City" from childhood. What really turned me on to Bobby Bare was the song "Marie Laveau". My mother loved the song. My fathers name was Jack and mom called him "Handsome Jack" after the character in the song. Funny tune.

I remember when Bobby toured and hung out with Tom T. Hall. I had some friends who owned a resort cottage motel on Captiva Island in the 80's. They pulled up one day in Tom T. Hall's tour bus. Stayed for a while and did some saltwater fishing.

I never got to meet them, but after I showed up was told that I missed it.
