* "Hi Sandy, Just a quickie to say that I was clearing out/organising my vinyl yesterday, found the Blackjack album (great cover) and gave it a blast. I remembered it
has some cool songs on it and some nice relaxed production but what i didn't
remember was the drumming.....You are AWESOME on that album fella - real
natural feel stuff, from the gut playing. Drives the album along, gives it
an energy that it just wouldn't have had without your playing. Nice one BOSS, cheered me up no end....Ta ta for now"...Ian (Oxford, England)

1967.I knew you would be a superstar then .You were spectacular!I was in a band
with Tony Danza ,the "Cultivated Mushrooms "back then . I just enjoyed your
playing so much.I was floored how great you were at such a young age.Looks
like I was right!
Keep rocking! Love your web site."....Ken Brown, St.Peter's 68
* "Hi Sandy, I saw the gig on Sunday night at the Jazz Cafe and loved Bo and the
band but would just like to say that your drumming nailed it down like
it should be. Rock solid and with swing and feel even! Great
combination. Magnificent groove and lack of flash, but all the right
accents and drama. I could go on.... but just thanks. I loved it. It's
great to see Bo with such a good band. R & R history in a great setting"... Steve Brayne
