Yes, I am JCB's oldest son.
I recently mourned his 5 year passing.
I miss my Dad...He was one of my heros, but he never knew that.
When I was a musician (been on a 5 year sabbatical...) I became a singing drummer, as it was a dream I realized, and damn it, I was good at it!!
I last saw my Dad alive in 2007 in Albuquerque, NM playing with Dr Eugene Chadbourne...I'll never forget it, because he was the ultimate road warrior, still playing for peanuts, but he still loved the road life...
And Dr Chad...I respect you big time...
I always wanted to play with him, along with my brothers in order to make those "Hollywood Dreams" come true for him....How sad, because all of his sons would have made him proud and financially comfortable...
The "book" should have included some insights from JCB's sons...The "squirrel pie incident from Woodstock, the fart at Tjay Contrelli's smimming pool in Southern California that waved his swimming trunks...and so much more..."
Moni, I wish you the best...I miss him as well...
Respectfully,
GRB
