R.I.P. Joe

He will be missed. Had a blast at one of his concerts he performed down here. Dang. I have to find my tee shirt..so sad..

Sing with the angels, never stop rockin'
 
Honestly never heard of him, maybe his music, but my sympathy none the lesser. .
 
I posted this on the gb thread about his death..

Afterwards, we waited in line to see him. They allowed each person, couple or group to see him individually, which was cool. The guy did warn us however, he said "Joe is a very quiet, very shy man and if you wish to speak with him, you will have to initiate"..

I was totally surprised by that. The guy was such a legend for so many years. But the guy was right. We initiated the talk and he was extremely gracious for our thoughts about him and his music. My date was thoroughly enthralled, he was her very favorite artist. Well Joe pulled me aside, and whispering in my ear he asked if he could kiss my gf on the cheek. I said of course, he did and she was just beside herself. It was a terrific moment that I will always remember.


RIP...you were one awesome artist and one super classy dude...
