Thanks Ron. A very happy Easter (and chag sameach for Edna) from Australia to you and all my other friends too.

That is sad. He was a Philly guy. He was a good guy even though he never wore pants. 
 
This is Phil. I haven’t posted in years. I still have my Songfacts T-shirt. Still fits. 
 
RIP Joe

Uncle Joe was surely one of the good guys. Always funny and friendly to everyone. (Thank you to Edna for letting me know about UJ's passing). You know, this Topic is like an actual wake. You don't see family and friends for years until somebody dies...then you realize you miss them all. I do miss you guys. 

That´s funny... My husband saw that guitar and immediately showed me the album, he bought it some twenty or thirty years ago...

Thanks for letting me know Elena, and Hi Laurie and Shawna.
Joe was a good friend with such a great sense of humour. I don't believe he ever had a bad word for anyone, and was an  example to us all. My condolences to his Family. I'm sure he is with God now. 

Joe was a steadfast SF rock, always had a kind or funny word.  A gentle soul.  Although he refused to ever wear pants, that's one of the things we loved about him.  So sad, not to mention shocked, to hear of his passing.  He'll always be remembered as one of the Songfacts OGs, a true original. ❤️ 

(Amazing that I still remembered my password here!) 
Was referred to this page by a link provided by Edna on the news of the passing of Uncle Joe, which is devastating. But I am glad to find this thread and read names I recall fondly.  I think of the old Songfacts gang often. 
My wife and I moved from Brazil to America 4 1/2 years ago, bought a motor home and have now travelled the nation since, until grounded in Louisiana for the past year by Covid. Since March, have been visiting friends and family in Brazil. Will return to the USA in May where we plan to get back on the road. 
Still write poetry from time to time and am always taking photos.  If anyone is interested, when we came to America in November of 2016, my wife and I started a FaceBook page/blog Rondi's Great Adventure. Like or follow that page and when we head your way, would love to stop in to see you.  Plan to see Marc (remember him?) next fall when passing near L.A. 
Blessings on each and every one of you.
 
Joe At Forks In The Road
We met early, like a Monday; by Friday we were friends
Neither one suspecting that this week might one day end
Bound by forks we chose; or agreed to build together
Exploring with a faith that love shared grows forever
Longtime friend, true chum, old mate, one same as a brother
Whatever friendship offers; it’s found within the other
Sharing better natures, our guide is that yet shared 
Quiet when required; listening whispers, “Cared.”
Never fearing experience nor dependencies allowed
In resilient terms, with bonds of steel, devoted and avowed
Thank you, friend, for lessons learned by staying on that road
And as the trail winds to its peak, your back that shared my load
 

"It's amazing how our love for music has brought so many from all parts of the world to come together as a family and share our experiences with each other".  I coulnd't say it better, Laurie.  Love you Uncle Joe.

We learned through his Facebook that Joe died today. His son posted a sad and warm text. I don't know if I should copy and paste or just let people say how much they loved him. I'll leave it up to you. My very first post in Songacts, was in 2004. My first answer was sweet UncleJoe's...  ❤️  ❤️

I do believe Uncle Joe was one of the first members to greet me on Songfacts. I mostly remember how much he made us all smile with his witty humor and his "no pants" jokes made me laugh so hard. He loved picking on me when he found the opportunity to do so, and I didn't mind at all because he always made me smile. It's a pleasure to be a part of the Songfacts family, he was an Uncle to all of us. I loved chatting with him about his love for music, family, food, and life in general. It's amazing how our love for music has brought so many from all parts of the world to come together as a family and share our experiences with each other. Rest in Peace Uncle Joe....you will be remembered and missed by many. ❤️

Thanks Edna! I will check it out when I get a chance!
Did a youtube search and found it! 
 

Blondie or JGeils Band are great to hoover the house in the morning!

Hi everybody    I'll be dropping by when I can. I became a hard working class hero...    Now all my family lives in the US and I'm still in Spain with my Spanish hubby and three spanish cats. And Spanis friends. What am I doing here???   😎
 

RonJon is always right...    😄   and you're the best, RonJon. Carl was missing the good old times here... (on facebook) And I said I wished we could Songfact like 14 years ago... That would be great.
A very happy New Year, my friends!!!!  I love all my Songfactors!!!!  💚 💚
...and it's really warm to see your avatar here again, Old55!!!  Happy New Year everybody!   💚
I couldn't fight nostalgia... so I surrender and I drop by sometimes wishing I'll find all the fun we had...😃

I was wondering if any of the old Songfacts gang (you know who you are) checks in to the site much these days. Every once in while I come back searching for you guys but come up empty. It was a vibrant and crazy place when we all joined close to 15 years ago and it remained that way for a long time. Frankly I miss it.  If any of you stop by, leave a comment. I'd love to know how you guys are doing. RonJonSurfer (Ron)

Strolling around YouTube, looking for something else, I ran across someone who has Something Significant To Say, musically.

Wow, what a great looking family. I hope Christmas was wonderful and 2019 is even better. Thanks for stopping by and sharing. Ron

Hi All ! I haven;t been here for a long time, mostly because I'm still fairly computer illiterate and I have trouble negotiating the Site. It's good to see some of my great Mates here.
Hope you all had a happy Christmas and have a wonderful 2019. Here's a photo of my whole Family taken on Christmas Day. I'm at the back - now OLD 78.
 

After all these years I still can't make everything work right. Thus...see a quote from the one and only Edna dated 9/23/18 in my last reply.

I miss all of you fishies too....  It just isn't the same anymore, but I still do stop in from time to time. I miss talking about the music, songs, artists that we love and learning about new stuff from other fishies. The laughs, jokes, etc....I find that Facebook is starting to bore me. I try to post videos, quotes, songs etc... on Facebook and get very  little response...Always could count on Songfacts for some good discussions and such..

I do too. Made many deep connections and lasting relationships. This is still a good place to drop a thought, and we'll still be here. 

I was just thinking the same, 'lena. I miss when the internet was our little secret.
