BeBe Bardot plays guitar and sings live to self-recorded tracks. (NO MIDI or COMPUTER GENERATED ones). He records said tracks (affectionately referred to as The BARFLIES: drums/percussion, bass, rhythm guitar, keys, etc.) the old fashioned way in his home studio. The resulting overall sound is that of a tight, well disciplined band.
________________________________________________________________
The musical delivery is bluesy. Vocals are of the "Whiskey-Voiced" variety (Tom Waites, J.J. Cale, Billy Gibbons, etc.). Guitar influences stem from the spare, stingy, well-chosen-note school of early British Blues Guitar-GODS like Eric Clapton & Peter Green. That goosebump generating ZZ Top tone is also in Sire Bardot's licks-arsenal.

Clever & witty lyrical content spiced with a comedic flair are big elements of a Bardot show. More often than not, audience participation is present in spades.

Sometimes Brad Brandlein (AKA The Bugle Boy) will appear with him on trumpet. This act is called BeBe & The BUGLE BOY. Sometimes at higher budget shows he will perform a solo smooth jazz instrumental mini set as an opening act.

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions.
Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners .
Here's another quiz.
See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with .
Easier?
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care .
Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.
'Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia ' (Charles Schultz)
