I found out about Aaron when i bought a Bloodline shirt from Joe in 2004 in Philly. He said that his Mom had found this box of the shirts in the attic and they had them there at the show. has Aaron's name on the back. not sure he is on any official recording though and I actually wonder what he sounded like with the band.

No official recording with Aaron that I know of.  I was able to catch this line-up and although the band was still pretty rough Joe obviously stood out amonst all of them.  I remember Aaron sounding OK, but nothing special stands out in my memory regarding his singing.  IIRC, by the next time I saw them perform he was no longer in the band (although I may seen him with them twice ~ I can't recall if he was at that 2nd show).

Re: Bona-Trivia

I'll never get one of these stumpers so I'm cutting in.
While we're waiting for Michael, here's a bonus question that may take some time.
Where and when did Joe first play Carmelita aka The Claw in public?  He played a song for the first time that was added to his tours. What was the song?

I'm gonna say the song was "Double Trouble", but that song was previously played for the Muddy Wolf shows. If it was another song I guess I'm stumped.

A winner! Good work on that Lee. I was the only member of the forum there for that show. Double Trouble is right too. He seems to have latched on to it and I hope it stays. He has that knack of taking a cover to a new level and that surely is one of his best.

I know #1 and #2, no idea about #3.  I admit, I googled around for an answer but didn't see anything.

Re: Bona-Trivia

Aha, I think I found the answer to #3.  If I'm right, I didn't realize he worked with that band, although I knew he opened for them.

For #1, are we talking studio tracks, live tracks, covers, originals, or doesn't matter?  The answer varies if you leave out some of these options.

Re: Bona-Trivia

I'll have a stab at Q.1...

Longest.. just Got Paid from LFNIP

Shortest must be one of the instrumentals so I'll go for Palmtrees and Gasoline.

Re: Bona-Trivia

I would think the longest is the Jam in ANDY Live DVD.
It's like close to 20 min long.
When I found out what was missing from the cd, I ripped 2 tracks from Andy's dvd, and 2 tracks fit on 1 cd

IF I'm correct about the answer to #3, it was very short lived, & the one time I went to see this band on 06/08/96 at "Beginning 1" in Dewitt NY they ended up canceling at the last minute (last second? ~ I got out of work, raced to the bar, & paid to get inside before I was told they were not performing that night, so I never got to see this band).  IIFC it was cancelled due to some kind of issue between the venue & the band(?).  Needless to say, I was extremely bummed. That would have been my first time seeing Joe perform since the last Bloodline show I saw on 01/16/95 & I had to wait until 08/15/99 to finally see him perform again.  I believe it was the original JoeB Band on 08/15/99 (the band seen in my avatar).

Re: Bona-Trivia

Seems like a lot of people have a few of the answers, but nobody has all three.  Let's get guessing.

#1 - shortest is "Hey Baby" from DSOB - just over 1 minute, although it's not a full song.  Longest (that I know of) is "Django/Just Got Paid" from Live from Nowhere in Particular at over 17:00.  I don't have ANDY, so maybe there's a longer track there... My guess for longest studio track is Pain & Sorrow, it's just over 10 minutes.
#2 - "No Love on the Street"
#3 - my guess: Jethro Tull?
