The Barefoot Man
Born in the shadow of the Bavarian Alps, he loves palm trees, sandy beaches and tropical sun. He doesn't know an E flat from an A minor, but he's composed about 2,000 songs and recorded 500. Although he grew up in German schools and paid little attention as a teenager in U.S. English classes, he's written two books in English.
He's to the Caribbean what Jimmy Buffet is to Key West, but everyone knows him only as "Barefoot." Barefoot is the biggest "B" to hit the island since Blackbeard. Read Full BioBorn in the shadow of the Bavarian Alps, he loves palm trees, sandy beaches and tropical sun.

He's to the Caribbean what Jimmy Buffet is to Key West, but everyone knows him only as "Barefoot." Barefoot is the biggest "B" to hit the island since Blackbeard. No visit to the island is complete without taking in George Nowak and his band (The Barefoot Man and Band).
Mr. Nowak has worked his rhythmic wonders on the island since he sank his toes in the sand here in 1971. He arrived with his guitar and a bag full of belongings after wandering in the Bahamas, St. Thomas and Hawaii. "Anywhere there's a coconut tree and sunshine, that's where you'll find me," he says.
"Caribbean islanders gave me the name Barefoot Man. They love to dress up, and shoes are important. Lack of shoes is a form of poverty.
"But it was natural for me. Why wear shoes? In my early performances in odd bars I played barefoot. So they called me Barefoot Man, No Shoes Man, Barefoot Boy, and I ended up Barefoot or just 'Foot.

Jeff The Muff Diver
The Barefoot Man Lyrics
Youda heard about Sotos
Long in the West Indies
Youda heard about Jacque Cousteau
And Jack McKennys
All these men are famous
For their exploits in da sea
But there is one diver that I envy
He's Jeff, Jeff the muff diver
He's a real conniver
He's the man to me
Who’s made diving history
He's Jeff, Jeff the muff diver
At every dive convention
You can find him here
Man does he have women
They follow him everywhere
It is such a mystery
That scuba ladies love him
Funny thing about it
Jeff don't even swim
He's Jeff, Jeff the muff diver
He's a real conniver
He's the man to me
Who’s made diving history
He's Jeff, Jeff the muff diver
Now the fad that Jeff has started
Has gained popularity
Everbody’s trying it on
the land and in da sea
Some might turn their noses up
But we all know it’s true
Way down deep inside they
wish they were muff divers too
He's Jeff, Jeff the muff diver
He's a real conniver
He's the man to me
Who’s made diving history
He's Jeff, Jeff the muff diver
