   About Bobby Berge
I have posted and wish to share a lot of my personal Favorite Pics of TOMMY BOLIN and my close friends--and-- plan on sharing a constantly changing variety of my musical experiences, done with close friends,with much of the material paying tribute to the Great TOMMY BOLIN.--------Touring and Recording with TOMMY BOLIN was definately the high point of my Music Career! He was a GENIUS and what a treat playing with ENERGY, experimenting and improvising with our brand of Hard Rock,Metal,Fusion, and Blues.-------- Some of the Main Groups I played with are: ZEPHYR from 1970-73,{ZEPHYR featured TOMMY and CANDY GIVENS}[I played Drums on ZEPHYR'S Album "GOIN BACK TO COLORADO"], ENERGY from 1971-73[There has been Umpteen Releases by the TOMMY BOLIN ARCHIVES of old Recordings by TOMMY and ENERGY], TOMMY BOLIN BAND from 1974-76[I played Drums on TOMMY's TEASER Album "the GRIND" and "LOTUS"] and all of PRIVATE EYES except "SOMEDAY WILL BRING OUR LOVE HOME"], BUDDY MILES in 75-76. I played Drums on "MORE MILES PER GALLON" and "BICENTENIAL:A GATHERING OF TRIBES" {Yes, I played tubs while BUDDY fronted the band. He would usually play a few tunes on drums then go out front and sing while I hopped on the skins.------BUDDY, {besides being a Great Singer, plays All Instruments!} ON ROCKIN and ROLLIN on the STREETS of HOLLYWOOD, I'm on Drums and besides Vocals, BUDDY is playing Keys and some Very FUNKY BASS!!------- BILLY RYAN and BLACK IRISH from 78-80.[I played on "JOKERS EYE" and "GENERIC",which was included on BILLY's ALBUM "BILLY RYAN and BLACK IRISH",Released in 1988], {Besides TOMMY, BILLY was one of the best Heavy ROCK guitarist I worked with}. BLACK IRISH recorded JOKERS EYE and CRAZED FANDANGO in Boulder[1980] with the engineering help of BUTCH TRUCKS of the ALMOND BROS]. I did many DEMO Recordings in small Studios and Homes, and also Live Recordings at CLUBS and CONCERTS. 1987-1990---MERRY STEWART [SFR], PHIL BROWN, and JACKIE LOMAX, Off and On---1980-81,1990-91 MICHAEL JOHN in BOULDER, Colo., From 1997-2000----a Great Band in Sioux City---AFTER ALLEY [This Band followed JOHNNIE BOLIN'S "BOLIN'S ALLEY"----Hence "AFTER ALLEY"!,, also, collaboration with BILL SEDAT, a guitarist from OMAHA 2002 { I Played on BILL"s Version of "LOTUS",which was released by his Band "DREAMER"in 2004.] and JOHN HERDT a fine guitarist from DENVER-- [2002-2008]{I have done several Recordings with JOHN which were included on his Album "GATHER",and later Demos in 2007,08}. My FUN JAM BAND "BLUES BASTARDS"[2000-2003] and as of lately, The "BLUES BASHERS"[2007-9].
