Uncle Bob

As you wander the island - there are no shortage of musical acts to stop and appreciate - but if you stumble across UNCLE BOB - stop & meet your new best friend (or at least a good way to waste your afternoon.)

I first met Uncle Bob years ago - along w/ my brother - at Rick's on Duval.  Looking like Jim Belushi's drunken 1/2 brother (not John, another brother) and singing your standard array of Key West songs - you might pass him by, but that would be a mistake.  Uncle Bob has "it."  What is it?  Damn'd if I know but I like "it."

Over the years - we've seen him at Rick's, Cowboy Bill's and, most recently, The Bull - so keep your eye's peeled.

Sometime ornery, occasionally mean (in a good way - like an old friend teasing you) - but always welcoming.  Stop.  Say hi.  And certainly "put em up...put em up...put em up...put it down, one time with your Uncle Bob."
