Bob and Leigh remained as a duo with
a large and varied repertoire. They often

The duo BlueBird consists of Leigh Harrison and Bobby Perfect. The two met in the mid-1980s while playing gigs and jam sessions in the Greenwich Village area.
They performed around the city with the King Biscuit Blues Band, then formed a combo called Jukebox Jamboree -- Leigh, Bob, Zebra (drums) and Steve Zavack (bass) -- which featured Leigh's country-styled vocals. (pictured at right)
A second incarnation of Jukebox Jamboree featured Leigh, Bob, and George Roberts (drums) and Alan Allen (bass). Jukebox Jamboree played in the NY, NJ, area for several years before the band members moved on to other projects.

As Bob and Leigh travelled around the US, they performed at numerous clubs and cafes. Here there are, in late 1993, while performing at a party gig in Connecticut.
