Bobby Mardi Gras & The Qreeps

***This tune, a PSA about how-not-to-behave at Mardi Gras, was originally released by Houma Records in the 80s as a B side to "Weld This Broken Heart (Roughneck Blues)", another Bobby M.G. original. Houma was one of many small "Swamp Pop" labels in the area at that time.
There is still not much known about Bobby M.G. (the "M.G." stands for Mardi Gras) other than the fact that he originally hails from Joplin Missouri and lived in Houma for about 10 years working in the oil industry. It was there that he met his future wife Bobbie and started performing with her under this band name. Houma Records original owner, Anthony "Rod" Rodrigue discovered the group performing at the wedding of a mutual friend. The Houma Record label is now run by Rodrigue's son Anthony "AJ" Rodrigue. The town of Houma, where the label began and still remains, was named for the Native American tribe who originally populated that region of Southeast Louisiana.
