Thanks for doing this Dominic...We needed this...Plus, Bobo is one of my favorite people...Every time I look at his white t shirt and rolled up long pants and his straw hat that he wore when working in the sun...I had a series of them when living aboard and called them my Bobo hats. A man of grace and style, for true. Plus, a GREAT dance partner!
