One of the songs on that album, "Danny Is a Mirror to Me." written about his son, is scheduled to come out as a single in a few weeks. While talking about his lyrics he said "You have to find write a song with most appea it's hard to write a son like that." "But I feel like I've accom plished more when I've writte a song which becomes a rather than when a song I'v sung, written by someone else makes it," he added. "I don't think I have a particular style," he continued, "I've sung up tempos and ballads. "Leading the Straight Life" was different from "With Pen in Hand," and "Honey" was not like either of those." In reference to a question of his preference for writing or singing, he said, "It's about 5050.

I want to keep singing. But I also would like to try writing music for movies and hour specials, things like that." Of his reception from Mitchellilas, he said the audiences were more quiet than others. On the street, he remarked, no one had "tried to start anything with us" referring to the long hair and dress styles of various Corn Palaca performers. Ruefully holding up his arm, fractured in a motorcycle accident, Bobby said he felt he wasn't doing his best for his audience because of it. (During this interview it was evident the cast was not a particularly welcome object on an arm so used to lightly strumming a guitar.

On stage in the final minutes as the banjos were played, he seemed "lost" to find the cast instead of a banjo for his arm.) He and his wife, Mary Alice, are the parents of a son, Danny, 7, and a daughter, Terri, 5. Bobby will be appearing on the TonigM Show Oct. 5 or 6, he said.
