Uh Johnny lives lived, and uh he came out to
see me, and Uh I told him he ought to
come to Nashville because Tom had mentioned the fact that
Uh that, uh he'd give him a job. So, uh,

I called Bobby Bear's house. Uh, just prior to this show,
Bobby was late for this show, and uh, I said,
it's this Bobby Bear. He said, what's Bobby Jr?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
And Uh? He's growing up a little bit, isn't he? Bobby?
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, Alf, I'm afraid he is. They all do.
Speaker 8 (06:31):
He's Uh, he's getting big now. He's listening to rock
and roll.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Oh is he?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Oh? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (06:36):
But he he will come back around the country whenever
he gets older.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
We're gonna play a record called Daddy watt If, which
was a big hit for you and Bobby Jr.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah you know. It made him a big star.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Everywhere I go, people want to know where he's at
and what he's doing.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And he's still a big star.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
If it carries through, he may get out of work
and meet a lot of girls too.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
If he gets into picking business.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Does he want to be a picker?
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
I think so, because he's like me, he's too lazy
to work, so he's got to do something.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Well, how old is he now?
Speaker 3 (07:08):
He's living?
Speaker 2 (07:10):
How old is he when he made the record?
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Six?
Speaker 1 (07:12):
You mean it's been five years, sir has Now he's
got a little brother, Shannon, he's what about nine?
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, Shannon's nine.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Did Shannon ever get over the the feeling of being
left out when you made Bobby Junior a star?
Speaker 4 (07:28):
Well, Shannon was pretty young at the time, so he
the impact missed him. But uh, now now little Bobby's
kind of embarrassed about it because the kids tease him
about it, and uh, Shannon's kind of glad he lacks
that part.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
But uh, he wasn't too crazy.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
About the attention that Bobby got at the time. But
now that it's it's kind of worn worn off, and
their their friends all are in the rock and roll
it's kind of to be singing the country hit, So
it's all right now he doesn't mind it.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Oh, does little Bobby go with you in the summertime
anymore to perform?
Speaker 3 (08:09):
No, that's over. That's over.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
That's we still have the record, So let's play that
as Bobby and Bobby Junior performer hit Baddy.
Speaker 5 (08:18):
If their sun stop shine?
Speaker 2 (08:22):

stare at the heavens with wide open.
