Got to meet him after the show. Talked with him for a long time...told him I always enjoyed playing his songs on the radio.
Then I asked him if he knew where Iron Mountain, Michigan was. He said, " Yes" and had been there a few times; said he loved the U.P.
I told him I had a band back in the '60s...Joey Gee was the name I used... He joked and said, "You should come on tour with me...Bobby Vee and Joey Gee!"
He was very pleasant...talked for a long time....said he was still married to his high school sweetheart. That surprised me...he was a heartthrob for the girls.
I still play his songs on vinyl and CD.
God Bless Bobby Vee...
Joey Gee
