I met him once and bought him a drink, I guess since I was in the Army he should of bought me one. I had just returned from 13 months in Korea and was sharing a mobile home with another GI in Savannah, Georgia. My roommate went out every night and I was still kind of reclusive and trying to adjust to the real world, I would answer not ready yet.
After a couple of weeks I finally said, OK I'm going. We went to the Esquire Lounge on Abercorn Blvd. It was the happening place in town, not long after the Cavalier became the hot spot. I think we paid a small cover and went in and Bobby was singing. He caught me off guard since he had a full beard and appeared to be not much older than us. After reading his obix, it appears he would of been 29 when I met him. Anyway, he put on a good show and I was easy to please at that time since it was my first time out in Savannah and in a night club in long time. On his break we invited him over and he sat at our table and talked some.
