Music is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart.

Our Departed Brothers
You will be missed by many my brother. Rest In Peace
Big Joe Brazil a fantastic sax man writer, composer. An accomplished musician in all respects. When we first auditioned for the gig at the Fontain Blu Mr Dagenais said he would hire us if we let Joe play with us. We were the Be Bops then. A green and young rock band. We learned a lot with Joe. I will never forget the time we learned a song called The Wonderer and there was a sax solo in it. We wanted him to play the solo like the record but he always laughed and played a bar or two like the record solo then took off on his own trip:)I will never for get Joe for all that he did for us ,his great big smile that lit up the room and his slow mo personality. RIP Joe
