It's your birthday today, Joey! Thinking of you, missing you.

 

This photo of you and your band, Brisby, Kills, & Crash, tickles me so. I remember, especially, how mommy asked you to play Hank Williams Sr.'s Down in the Valley over and over. Having that much dedication just made you the best!

 

Joey (Joe Dee) on far left playing the electric guitar in his band, Brisby, Kills, & Crash.  The play on Crosby, Stills, & Nash, reflected his humor.

 

Happy Birthday, "Little Angel, Little Brother"

Joey (Joel) died of cancer in July 2003. His love for the guitar and music came a very close second to his partner, Donna. It's been 12 years but still miss him so. Feeling especially sentimental since Mother's Day with the recent loss of my mother and Joey's birthday being  just a week later.

I love you, Joe Dee!
