    Thanks for sharing a little about Joe with us :) ... and congrats on the fund raising.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

We will be having further benefits in the future and hopefully if anyone from Wishlist or Ten Club reads this we would love to get the band involved.
    $10,000??????????? :shock: :shock: :shock: WOW, that's absolutely fantastic. I really love how you're honouring him... fantastic job. By the way, you wrote really nicely and I was wondering if you ever thought about writing a book about him?

    Thanks...I never thought about it!..not sure if anyone would much care to read a story about us but it is something I would do if the interest was there...Joe is a unique person...I'm sure I could come up with a lot of stories :)

    I'd read it :) I really enjoyed reading what you wrote, and I'm certainly not sentimental but you did make me cry. Why don't ya just start by writing a few of the stories and then see if you can get them to gel together or make anything of it... at the very least it might do YOU some good just writing about all the great memories you have of him :)

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Thank you for sharing your stories about Joe, I read through twice in tears. Again, what an honor you give to your brother. Like someone (Helen, I think?) posted.. I miss him and I didn't even know him.

    Regarding the fundraising, sending you a PM :)

    that's happened me before where I somehow 'dropped' friends and then got all wondering why they deleted me. So maybe they didn't :shock:

    that's awesome about the money raised for that charity. That's about 4 blocks from where I am right now.

    I think it's nice that you are keeping your brother's memory so alive and honoring him so well.

    Yesterday was the date my friend Marty died, 22 years ago, I never forget and I never will. Love ya, Marty!
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go
