Harold_Z Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 http://blog.nola.com/keithspera/2009/03/ne...eddie_bo_h.html This guy made some great New Orleans R&B records. I didn't know until now, reading his obit, that his name was Bocage. I wonder if he was related to Peter Bocage who Chris A. recorded in the early 60s. At that time truly a "Living Legend."

jeffcrom Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I am really sorry to hear this - Eddie was one of the greats of NOLA R & B. He was the nephew of Peter Bocage. I was fortunate enough to hear him quite a few times in my favorite city. For a while in the 90's he had a happy hour gig at Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville - the music could be either inspired or sad, depending on the requests of the tourists. Once he was playing there with a guitarist and young drummer - with Eddie's left hand, he didn't need a bass. After a couple of pretty good songs, Herlin Riley walked in. He and Eddie hugged, and Herlin played the rest of set. He just smoked those New Orleans second-line funk grooves, while Eddie's regular drummer sat in the corner, shaking his head. Every Dog Has His Day. So long, Eddie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
