The Barefoot Man in The Abacos





Thanks to my "spinning" teacher, Debbie, in Estes Park, I had become familiar with the songs of "The Barefoot Man". She played us one of his most popular songs "Dirty Belly Button" and we cranked on those bicycle pedals. I had noticed in one of the Island newspapers that he was going to be at Guana Cay in the Abacos on March 6th and 7th. So for the last couple of weeks, our itinerary was based on getting to Guana Cay by March 6th to see The Barefoot Man. And we made it with time to spare! It was an awesome concert and he played all afternoon. Jennifer (from "Lady") and I had got to "Nippers Bar" (where he played) by 9am to save tables because we had been warned about how crowded it got. We got front row seats overlooking the stage and it was AWESOME! Then we moved down to the dance floor and squeezed our way to the front of the stage there. We had gone the night before to buy our food and drink tokens and to enjoy a few drinks overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and walk on the beach a bit...Obie's favorite thing! They were giving out free "Fire In The Hole" rum shots and we all enjoyed a Nippers Juice (consists of rum, rum, rum, rum and juice). What a great day with great friends; Craig, Debbie, Jennifer, and Charlie and a few new ones we met there!
