In Memory of

Bruce Jacobson
(d:  Feb 2006)

Our drummer for Ira Joe, Bob Briley, was in Annakonda.  Bob's father was a local TV personality as I recall.

Ira Joe played clubs and did rock and funk and some Zeppelin.  We were at some club and the State line in Idaho and at the end of Stairway to Heaven, as I sang the last note... I received several Pies in my face (all part of the humor).  I recall some from the dance floor and one from Lee Cardella and one from Bob Briley.  The crowd was shocked as they were all singing along as it was the big hit song then.
