Remembering Edmonton musician, actor Joe Bird


I didn't really know where to put this upon finding out tonight, over wine and partying, that Joe had passed away. I was kind of dumbstruck. He was an acquaintance who had sung at a friends' wedding, who had from everything I'd seen about him, lived life in a hedonistic fashion.

His wit, his passion, his zest for life... if only I could give you all a taste of what it was like to stand in the room with this man.

Hearing the memories, hearing the pain, hearing the sadness tonight, as people tried to move on to happier issues....

I really can't help but have it weigh on me.

A truly talented comedian, musician, and a wonderful person I'd barely gotten to know.

You are already missed Joe Bird. And I feel the pain of your friends.
