WE CALL IT MUTT MUSIC!! Alternative, Punk, Acoustic, Folk, Surf, Grunge, Bluegrass, YEAH! Counting Crows meets Collective Soul with a splice of Dave Matthews
A guy from Surftown, CA meets up with some crazy Texans, and this is what you get! We call it "Mutt Music"! Ultimately we bring life to music, making reality a part of all that we are. Too much fluff music is out there, and its time that some bands with a heart for being real with themselves and others step up. This is all about bringing the realities of life to a lyrical interchange. Collectively BOB! includes the multitalents of some of Fort Worth's premier artists. Zac Elliott on Electric Guitar and backup vocals has played with multiple bands, and is featured on the 'Foxy Morons', playing bass with 'Benevolence' as well as our first venture "The LongBoard Longhorns'. Chris "CykoKirby" Smith whails on bass and also plays with 'AdoTheos'. Jon Eric Pettersson is the drummer, and he kicks some major beats. Hes also known as the master of cymbals and a connoisseur of many. George Book, Jr. flies on lead guitar and keyboards (when we get them). David Walters is the man on Percussions and backup vocals as well. Finally, Shane Anderson is the lead vocalist, rythym guitarist, and main lyricist. Althought this venture includes all these talents, many times the band goes without one or two or picks up others.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song over the past month as a tribute to my dad, and all the other great dads out their. May we continue to strive to be the men we are called to be even if we are fathers, fathers to be, or just living in tune with our father.
Lyrics
DADDY’S DAY Coming down the dirt road I could always hear the sound Of his dusty old pick-up truck My heart would skip a beat, My face be lifted up Running out the front door to meet him there, The dogs and I would knock him down He’d always pick me up, Sweep me off my feet There in that driveway, in the house or late at night You could always count on him to be Tender, kind, firm yet polite. Without a discourse on the field or in the woods Trust, Respect, Honor and courage I always longed to be like him one day. Chorus: Take Responsibility Lead Courageously Reject Passivity Seek God’s true riches and live today for his glory. That kind of man, just like my dad That who I am, that kind of man I’ll take my stand, just like my dad. Looking cross the hillside on a clear mid-summers eve I glance into my daddy’s eyes He was always by my side, he’d always fight for me As we’d go across the road He grabbed me by the hands Pick me up and swing me around Laughing and talking I can remember the sound Passing down the memories of all I dreamed to be There I could see my dad, Cheering me on, oh how his love taught me. Through all the good times and even in the bad This is the kind of man that leads One day I’ll teach my son to be…. Chorus
