The Barefoot Bandit: Sing a Long

By Preston Wallace

One of the most intriguing crime sprees of the past decade was that of Colton Harris-Moore, aka The Barefoot Bandit. The saga of this young man, took him from Camano Island in Washington State, escaping the FBI and other Law officials of The United States of America, landing all the way in The Bahamas where he was captured. However, the Author captures this intense story in a folklore song from the Bahamas which consists of true Bahamian dialect, culture and comedy.
