Thank You All (Page 7 of 8)

Bogie

Thank you for your time with Joe and the band -go on to greatness and happiness. I will follow your career with interest and look forward to hearing you play some more.

Dang Bogie, this is sad news for us fans for sure,but we understand,and wish you nothing but the very best. You are one awesome drummer to say the least,and leave some huge shoes for someone to fill. Someone else doing the drums on ,"Happier Times" I just can't see it.      I do hope you'll sit in at one time or another. Best of everything to ya,and Merry CHRISTmas.

Aww man, this is a sad day.  I remember the first show I saw the "new" band play with Joe (Hagerstown MD Blues Festival in 2007 IIRC) and really liked what I heard.  I can't remember if you did your solo at that show, but in subsequent shows I was blown away with your solo in Dazed and Confused.  Shoot, I even made a thread about it:

I remember I used to watch these three videos of you over and over again and would show them to any friend that would watch.  Two have already been posted, but might as well post again for good measure.

It's been a pleasure watching you play over the last 5 years, I hope you keep rocking!  Joe has some big shoes to fill!

I'm still mourning the end of the Bogie Era. It's that smile. He radiated J-O-Y!!! I will miss that!! But, I am aware this is a good thing for him. Lots of luck to the next guy. I promise to be open..but could you ask him to smile???    Cathy

Hate to see you leave, but I'm sure you've given it a lot of thought and made the right decision. I've seen you at the Vredenburg in Utrecht and in the Carré in Amsterdam twice, and I've enjoyed you so much! I wish you all the best both in your personal life and in your future professional plans.

THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC!

Bogie,

You will be sorely missed.  I wish you nothing but the BEST in everything YOU do, now, and in the future.  I feel blessed I was able to watch you play this past Dec 4th.

Thanks Very Much!

I haven't been around here for a while, but I think this is the right time to come back.

I met you in Brussels, last year. You may not remember, of course. I first thought you were a roadie, and I asked you some silly questions about meeting Joe. I then realized you were much more than just a roadie when I saw you on stage. It was so awkward, I felt just like a fool...

So long Bogie, you were an amazing drummer and you'll surely be missed! I wish you all the best, and thank you for what you've been doing with the band!

It's nearly all been said above!
Should visit here more often..
Like a few of the others here, I'm a guitar player but I've never enjoyed a drummer as much anywhere else......and I've seen "a few" being the age I am.

One of the best things about Bogies performances for me besides the obvious talent, is the fact that he always seems to be throughly enjoying it. Like all the band really. His smiles during performances were brilliant and said so much.

I have had the pleasure of meeting him and he is one of those instantly likeable people.

He is special and I will be looking for his next moves. Never really done that before (oh, except for with Bill Nelson when he folded Be Bop Deluxe! See told you I was at "the age I am" )

Thank you Bogie. A major star
