Bogie is an amazing drummer and an all around great guy. Each time I see Bogie play, his drum solo is better than the previous one!

See you in Elgin, Illinois Bogie!

P.S. I will have two Knocked Down Smilin CD's for you to autograph for Robby! (Yes, I finally found them!)

Awesome solo Bogie...ya' are the man with the sticks!!!!!!!!!!!  I'll also look forward to seeing you in Elgin. 

Shredit.....ah, yes Inna Gadda Da-Vida..... (I remember very well putting headphones on and listening to this in my room with the blacklight on and posters glowing...nothing like being a teen in the 70's.)   I met Mike Pinera a couple of years back.  He was with Iron Butterfly and Blues Image...wrote "Ride Captain Ride"  He was a gem of a guy and tells a great story of meeting Elvis Presley.....also Jerry Corbetta of Sugarloaf "Green Eyed Lady"  Peter Rivera of Rare Earth "I Just Want To Celebrate" and Dennis Noda of Cannibal & The Headhunters "Land of 1000 Dances" .....it was a GREAT night of entertainment and a throw-back to teen days......(Sorry that this should come under Other Artist, but I don't know how to get Shredit's quote moved to that page).....don't pummel me too hard for stretching the rules........thanks    pattyluvsjoe

I get caught up thinging about those days. Where have all the good times gone! Just kiddin, but I would relive those days in a heartbeat. Music changed for me after Led Zeppelin, I can't really say why. I miss driving to S. F. in my beater with four bald tires and a case of beer in the back seat. We always took the oldest car, the junkies would break out the windows if you locked it. Sorry, I'm trippin. Oops I forgot I have to go to work now.

                       Peace Shredit

Ok, I'll share my In a godda davida story. This is funny to me, but it may not translate to everyone else. About 5 or 6 years ago, some friends were talking about their "song" (can't remember what it was). Anyway, my wife (we've been married for 26 years) tells them that we "don't have a song", to which I reply "Oh yes we do...and I do my best to look offended that she doesn't remember our song. So she's bugging me to tell her what our "song" is, and finally I blurt out "In a godda davida", which was totally made up and why I thought of that song I'm not sure because I probably hadn't heard it in 15 years, but it was pretty funny at the time. So now, if anyone ever asks or talks about "their song", we tell them ours is In a godda davida. It's turned into our inside joke and we've gotten some laughs.
Sorry, this is a bit off topic...I should have at least agreed with everyone regarding Bogie's considerable talents!

Bogie,

Welcome back to the USA!...You have been a great addition to the band and you have a whole new set of fans in the Dayton, OH area...We look forward to seeing you guys this summer in Columbus and at the Fraze...Enjoy some time off...I hope that your move is painless...Are you still in North Carolina?...

The Other Joe B.

Bogie, 

I was in the Bluesgarage and enjoyed your playing very much. Looks like you're getting better every day.
Have a nice time with your wife in the new house!  Hope your tour overthere will be just so succesfull as it was with us in Europe.

Andre Wittebroek.

Welcome home Bogie, shame no one recorded you playing your solo on Halloween! You playing with a giant spaceman helmet that you had to keep turning to see was priceless!! Good luck in your new North Crackalacki home. Bonus points for giving props to your wife!
