Hi guys,
It is the real me. Just checking in to see how everything we're doing is coming across. I must say that I really enjoy seeing the dedication from you guys to Joe...
To answer an earlier question, I grew up in Greenville, SC and went to UNC Chapel Hill and lived in Chapel Hill and Greensboro for many years before coming to Los Angeles in 97. My heart will always be in NC with most of my family and friends there, as well as the best damn BBQ in the world!!!!
Thanks again for the love and I'll see you soon.
Bogie
And in case you missed it recently, the story behind the name, from this September 9/26/07:
Hello Everyone,
Hargrove here. So you now know my secret. Please, it' s an alias at best, but if you must know, here's the story. Hargrove Bowles IV, born to Hargrove Bowles III, son of Hargrove Bowles, JR who was the son of Hargrove SR. So the history is this. My grandfather, God rest his soul, did run for Gov in NC back in 72. He was also a member of the State Senate, and State House of Representatives. He was a Southern Democrat. His son Erskine Bowles, my uncle, also a Southern Democrat was Clinton's Chief Of Staff.
Now back to the name. My Grandfather went by a nickname "Skipper". My Father went by a nickname, "Skipper" I go by Bogie and no one in my family, not even my Grandmother nor my Mother when she was mad at me ever called me Hargrove. Realizing this as a teenager I asked why didn't I have a normal name since no one ever used the Hargrove name. No one could tell me, it is just how it is. So if you like, you can call me Hargrove, but just don't expect me to answer you:) When someone calls my house asking for you know who, I know immediately that it is a telemarketer and promptly hang up. It's kind of cool for that, like I have a code of my own or something. So anyway, that's the story of my name.

Bogie, Camine, Rick - we know that Joe is "Always on the Road,"
but the fact that you three keep up with the incredible pace of constant touring is remarkable, and your professionalism & your enjoyment every time you play make the fan base explode exponentially after every gig.
, would be so adapted to using both hands well, that they would just become ambidextrous! Ringo says he throws, plays cricket and golf with his left hand, but writes and cuts with his right.
... However, based on the lefties I know, I seem to think they adapt to doing things with their right hand easier than righties adapt to using their left hand...that's my new theory...
. Congratulations if you recently married.
