On this day in MAY Bonahistory (& the starting of the BH Threads) (Page 1 of 5)

H!Great idea.Maybe you can become the bonahistorian here!

I appreciate the effort. Better keep your day job. The pay here is not so hot.

Thanks Jane, means a lot coming from a Forum charter member such as yourself (and RickB and gary).

Don't know why I remembered the Letterman date...but thought I'd post it when the yr anniversary came up.  Then thought hmmm what if....

Thought of a posting something each day (starting with Letterman date moving forward), but that may get long for the forum (?), and the list wouldn't compile unless repeated each time with the NEW post.  (If I'm thinking right.)

I imagine most will be tour shows on that date, which would b impressive to see all completely listed someday, but early history (and tour dates) may be tough with simple net searches, and would probably need "inside" help.  Unique tidbits would be great.  I did find a neat 3 min concert clip for tomorrow's (5/23) date (already listed above in #3.)

You can reply w/ any events and I'll cut and paste into Post 3 list...or PM'em to me. 

We'll keep thinking what is the cleanest/easiest way.  Like I mentioned in post 6, I picked the wrong time of year (work schedule wise) to do this, but...as they say...day at a time.

Thanks for the comments JBF4L...you hit the nail on the head.

This morning I took my calender off the wall and wrote in what I listed above for the last three days (figuring if I get time on a late Sunday night), I'd try to blast thru the dates of the coming week, see what I could find, jot them on my calender, then edit the original post with each date's entry.

This was all thought out in 10 seconds as you can see. . 

I guess the (my) goal (thought) would be to have the month and day #, then list the year Joe performed, dropped an album, (bought a guitar ) on that month/day #. 

Ideally, would be great to visually see the progression, how # of show dates increased each year, venues changed - (showing fan base increasing....(New Orleans Superdome 7/14/ 2016 here we come)  (and how guitar collection changed ). Guess don't want too much info making it cumbersome for posters/readers. 

Unique tidbits would be the best....but difficult to gather...then again the Forum is filled many knowlegable members on Bonahistory.)

Can let it simmer for awhile.

PS: JBF4L....your Benjamin Hoff signature hit the nail on the head also...on how this could go.

(To Bill S's Quote:  How about the George Lopez show? et al....)

All great suggestions, and the kind of events that would be great to see when all compiled.

I think I have the correct dates for Lopez (3/10/10), Conan - Bloodline with Smokin Joe "Bonabosso" 10/17/94, and L.A. Live (ABC) - Bloodline w/ Joe ("My bologna has a first name", says the host ) as 6/5/94 all jotted down.

Figured I'd post them when that calender date hit.

But if this thing does gel, we will need to collect and store (i.e. jot on my paper calender ) any date info as all sources dig them up...not to be posted on the ongoing list until that date hits (??), or just post em as they come and fill up the 365 holes over time.

What's that I see out my window?  Looks like some Forum members coming over the hills with torches....they don't look very happy.

I think we're all onto something, even as we collectively try to work out how to pull this off.  This forum is so much fun because of the sum of all the working parts (IE. members).

I like the idea of a calendar that somebody (or somebodies) can maintain, with a link to it from a sticky post here.  If we can figure out how to do that.  Tossing out some ideas, below.

Google Calendar comes to mind (and it's free to use), though I'm not sure it's a great fit for this idea.

I poked around the web a bit.  Maybe something like Famundo would work?  More info at link below, if anyone wants to also have a look.  That option has so many features, it's probably overkill.  Just a thought, others may have better ideas.

Thanks Jane.  I had the NH date, but not the guest - I added.
I found an Oslo date for 2010 as well.

Still building list at post #3.  Guess I could cut and paste the list and post it as a new reply - to bring it down and current - and delete the old one, to shorten topic pages.  Thanks for your help.
