Thread Name: Obit: Jonathan Eberhart (18 Feb 2003)
Subject: RE: Obit: Jonathan Eberhart
Reading all these threads about Jonathan brings back so many memories of my days with Boarding Party. I used to drive Jonathan to most of our gigs and spent many hours on the road with him discussing every topic imaginable.

Reading about the Limerick game reminds me of the times we would look out for road signs on the Highways, you know the ones with 2 town names on them, and try to make a persons name from them. Once we found one we then invented a character to go with the name, I recall some of them as Dupont Pittston (a wealthy mine owner), Magnolia Fallston (local woman of ill repute) and North East Rising Sun (Indian Chief).

He inspired me to be a better musican, and in doing so made me a better person. The world is a much poorer place since his passing, but I bet the heavenly choir has lot more bottom end than it ever did before.

Bob.
