Bingo! From another post "change bibliography style" someone wanted a custom bib label so kaiserkarl13 replied:

\makeatletter
\def\@biblabel#1{[Exhibit: #1]}
\makeatother

So I changed that to the following which puts references in text and bibliography in brackets...thanks y'all I'm stoked now ...

Dang, I made the above change that worked for zeroan -> \bibliographystyle{plain} however on my system it didn't put brackets around the bibliography numbers. I'm running TexShop Version 2.43 on a Mac OS X Version 10.5.8. Anyway I got a response on this forum right away. I've posted the same ...

OK great zeroan thanks...um, I changed %\bibliographystyle{spbasic} right where it is to \bibliographystyle{plain}...and mine pdf's the same as before. So do I need to move the command somewhere else, and not still use /begin{thebibliography}{99}?
