I apologize for seeming to be unresponsive for the last couple days. It’s just that I’ve been trying to somehow figure out how to deal with the avalanche of sadness as well as shock that I experienced when I learned that my friend of over 60 years, Bob Bennett, had suddenly passed away. Bob had flown to Seattle to be with us when we played there in October and I talked to him a lot and hung out like old friends do. Jerry Roslie and I met Bob when he was 16 and his family had relocated to Tacoma from Oklahoma. The three of us played in several small bands together and played high school dances and fraternity parties and basically had a blast with life. He was then known as “Bobby Joe” and that’s what I called him for the rest of his life. As I’m sure you all know, he was the original drummer for our band, The Sonics. He, from the beginning, said he didn’t want to be a giant metronome, sitting behind the band keeping time. He wanted to be different and make an impact on our music. God, did he ever! You can hear Bobby’s impact on all those early Sonic songs. I can still remember futilely trying to get to sleep after a show and still hearing those jack hammer rolls and his cannon like kick in my head. The subject of music aside, he was a wonderful guy to hang out with and an awesome friend. In all those years I never once ever heard anyone ever say a bad word about Bobby Joe and in a rock and roll band that’s often impossible! If you met him you loved him and had a great friend. After the Sonics he moved to Hawaii and had a long career as a new car salesman and sales manager. He was a really good low handicap golfer and liked to travel. He would fly to the US in later years to hang out with the current Sonics and once got onstage and played with us in a particularly big show at the Paramount Theater in Seattle, proudly wearing his Sonics T shirt. That’s what he was doing the very last time I saw him. It’s a gross understatement but true to say that he is greatly missed. Fly well Bobby Joe. I’ll see you again and we’ll tell stories and laugh some more….
