For those of you that knew of Joe, he was a mysterious man. No one really knew him but we knew exactly what he was about... House. For those of you that didn't know Joe, perhaps this thread will shine some light into what those of us that did know of him miss so much.
I remember Joe would always come into Mudshark talking about the scene and House and often mentioning people like Tim Patrick (he really loved Tim and his dj'ing), Peter & Tyrone, Michael Drury, Ms. Lindsey (sp?), Kenny Glasgow (always reminiscing about the early days of House with JMK) and Dino & Terry. His eyes would light up everytime a new issue of Tribe came in, always looking to see if someone had snapped a shot of him (and often there he would be in the pages).
Joe would always tell me, "You weren't even in this world when I was dancing to House."
____________________
Joe was a legend of the House music scene and lived to dance. Going back to the Electric Circus days, he was an innovator of dance and a resident entertainer for over 2 years. In regards to Guelph, he has been here since day 1 of the scene! Since Dean Russell did university radio on CFRU (over 10 years ago), since Janos K (Nasa) and Rick Knapp (Rico) started promoting House music at The Underground through to Transient Thursdays (the beginnings of the Van Gogh's Ear scene), Bloom! Wednesdays, Void Production parties (founded by Hartec), The Space, Sangha Saturdays, all the way up to now being a regular at Deep Forest Grooves in the Treehouse of Van Gogh's Ear and Bang Saturdays at System Soundbar in Toronto.
Now Joe has passed on, leaving only his strong spirit, his positive energy and a vision of an amazing dancer dedicated to the music, the people and the vibe.
This thread is in honor of Joe, a man no one ever knew - but didn't really need to - simply because of his accepting presence, strong nature and amazing character.
Joe's body is gone but his spirit, his music and his dance lives on.
Peace and House music...
We love you and miss you, Joe!
Most Sincerly,
Dino
