Bob Besser - "Old Standards"

What to say about Bob Besser, he lives down in the bottom corner of Missouri which I imagine is a lot like the bottom end of a beer can, nothing but stale booze and a lot of backwash.

But if there's one crisp refreshing drop left, it's Bob. I went down to Neosho a little over a month ago and filmed this with Bob at about 5 a.m. while we were killing time waiting to drive me back to Kansas City to catch a train back to Chicago. Neosho is one of those little towns that shuts down after about 2 a.m. when the bars close and turns into a creepy yet pretty little ghost town. We tried to take advantage of that vibe with this song (and one more to follow). I think we got what we were looking for.

Bob doesn't have much out there to listen to other than this, but if you enjoy this you should let him know we'd like to hear more because he's a talented individual and the world deserves more music like this.
