Never really noticed it before but was reading back through a bunch of old Relix Bobby articles these past few days:

At some point in the ‘90-00s, Bobby started going by Bobby both personally and professionally, can anybody put a finger on about when? Anybody know why?

It’s not the craziest thing in the world, but it’s pretty rare for someone to alter their name professionally, it’d be kind of like if Billy Joel started going by Bill Joel.

Yeah, I know about “Bobby and The Midnights” but there it seemed almost like a send up/joke with the band name.

I also know Jerry has called him Bobby in interviews and I get behind closed doors he was probably called Bobby as much as Bob.

Yes, I know you used to yell BOBBY from the crowd at shows in the 1990s

….but in public, as a performer it was always “Here’s Bob Weir” and at some point it became “Bobby Weir.” His last decade of solo tours were always billed as Bobby: Bobby Weir and the Campfire Band, Bobby Weir and the Wolf Brothers, Bobby Weir and Orchestra, Phil & Bobby tour etc etc

Just another fascinating wrinkle in the life of Ol’ Ace.
