Hey! Word is that moving out here to Kansas has changed me!



Anyone knows it takes a lot more than that to change Little Bobby!



Greetings from Kansas!

Paige and I will be playing tonight at Emma Chase Cafe, in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas. Show time starts at 7:00.

Dinner from 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm.

Hope to see you there!

Hey folk’s… It’s me!

Posted some pictures of the (rented for now) homestead out here in Kansas.

I would say the “Great Plains” but that is further west, more towards Colorado.

As you will see, it is a little 3 bedroom cape cod with 18 acres of land. There are quite a few farms out here (as if you didn’t know that)!

There is also a picture of my good friend Mike DeRobertis, taken at the Oz Museum.

Mike helped Paige and I in our move to Kansas. He drove the U-Haul which was towing the Mercedes for us.

On the weekends, Paige and I go house (farm) hunting, or we head down to Wichita for a hockey game or Topeka to shop. We did look at a commercial building for sale. A great big brick building built circa 1905 in great condition. It has a store front on the street level and 4 apartments upstairs. A great place for a coffee house/open mic spot.

Our favorite dinner spot is “Toto’s Taco’s” in Wamego!

For breakfast, another fave is “Stacy’s”. It’s a little place where mostly the farmers from the area go. Who would have thought I’d fit right in.. ha, ha, ha.

Everything here is great! Believe me when I say this, it’s very pretty here in Junction City. It is in an area that is called the Flint Hills. Not quite sure how high a hill has to be to be considered a mountain, but the hills here are pretty high.

This April, my daughter Nicole and my nephew Andrew will come for a visit during their spring break. Then Nicole wants to come back in Aug and enroll in school here. School here runs from Aug. to May. Prior to moving here, it was decided that she finish her school year back in NY, rather than in the middle out here.

I’ll keep in touch often, and give you up dates about out here, you know tornado’s and dust bowls etc.

So, click the photos link at the top of my page and check out the first Kansas pictures...

As always, I remain…. “Little” Bobby Barton

Well folks…. It’s taken me a few weeks to think about what to say. But here it goes.

As you may or may not know, Paige and I are relocating to the great plains state of Kansas. (Yea, yea, I know, tornados, Dorothy, Toto…..) But hey, what can I say?

I have accepted a position with the government at Fort Riley, Kansas. This is where George Armstrong Custer was stationed. Needless to say, he never made it back. And the rest is (as they say) history.

I just want to take this opportunity to thank all the people with whom I have become acquainted with over the years in my musical endeavors. I will take a piece of each and every one of you with me.

Whether it be fond memories of stages we shared, or that riff you showed me, you will be there always.

Our goal (other than work) is to buy a farm and maybe raise a few miniature scottish highlander cattle, open a coffee shop, turn that big old barn into a few sleeping areas (for guests) and a recording studio, although not necessarily in that order.

Paige and I were out there looking at homes a few months ago. Found three we love, two of which are farms. In the mean time, we will be renting a 3 bedroom home on 17 acres for $600.00 a month. (Sick isn’t it?)

Why Kansas? Well, Paige is originally from there and has family there. The opportunity arose for me to transfer and get a promotion, so I took it. Paige will also be working as a special education teacher in a town called Junction City, (where we will reside for now).

Junction City is about 15 minutes from Manhattan, Kansas where Kansas University is located. They have a great performing arts center there.
