It should really be obvious to Scottish country dancers but in order to avoid confusion especially in the younger generation it bears repeating that this dance gets its name from Bobby Brown, the late Canadian Scottish dance band leader, not from Bobby Brown, the R&B/soul singer and ex-husband of the late Whitney Houston.
