My best friend and I would frequent Funny Fellows to see Joe...and get a slab of ribs. Joe would also come into my Radio Shack store at 43rd Ave and Bethany Home. We had some great conversations. Fortunately, I have one of his albums, Old Red Cat, that I still listen to. Sometimes I get some tears rolling while listening as I remember the good times. I miss you Joe !!
I knew Joe thru the SCA and at conventions listening to his filk singing. I only learned of his passing thru reading the notes here. My heart's with Joe's family both biological and those whom he came to love as family thru his singing, SCA, etc.
For my part, I will dedicate this song to my father's generation. He flew with the Strategic Air Command on midair refueling planes, one of the most dangerous aviation jobs there is.
I knew Joe about 30 or so year ago both thru the SCA and from going to his regular performances at Funny Fellows in Phoenix-a gig he had for decades. RIP, Master Ioseph. - Mistress Éowyn Nightsong of Tharsis
@Pinkchyo It is a very famous song from the WW2 period, best known today for its ironic role at the finale of "Dr. Strangelove". A lovely song, in any event.
