Who the Fuck is Barefoot Man?

March 22nd - I'm not angry or vexed, it's just that we went to Nippers to hear Barefoot Man and one of the songs he sang was Smokie's 1976 hit "Alice", the Gompie version.
  • Alice at Nipper's
  • Nipper's March 2013
  • You Don't Have to Be Gay to Ride a Ferry
  • BEC
  • yet more

  • I thought it was Barefoot Man's parody of the song but it turns out that Smokie did a parody of their own song. Anyway, it was a fun evening as Barefoot Man has some great songs, including one titled "I Should Have Used a Condom" which he introduced by saying that he had two daughters that his wife describes as "her little angels" and he calls "mistakes". He says since he played it to them they haven't spoken to him in a year other than to ask for money.
    We had left the dingy at the dive dock and walked along the beach to get to Nippers. We had remembered to get out the anchor light and the torch and yet somehow we had left the torch so after leaving Nippers we walked down to the harbour and then headed up a road that we we had walked once in the daytime and was now complete blackness so that that you couldn't even see where the road ended and the bushes began. With no moon Abaco can be really dark. I guess it was a good thing that we hadn't drunk much as we did find our way back to the dock. The night before there had been some incident between a boat and the ferry and it was suggested alcohol played a part.
