Happy Birthday Ernie Ball

[Big Poppa]

Hey kids,
If he were still here he would be 75 today. I dont mean this as a bummer post, but I thought it would be good to recognize the day. Raise a silent toast later for the original Big Poppa.

Its really wierd he's been gone almost a year......

Thanks for letting us know BP. I know Im not the only one who is thankful for what Ernie contributed to the world of music.

Im sure hes looking down, very proud of what you guys in SLO are doing.

Thanks to Ernie and all the rest of you at EBMM who make it the great company that it is.

Happy Birthday Mr. Ball!




Big Poppa I know the feeling, I lost my Dad two years ago and it still is strange around holidays. They may not be here in person, but they are never gone.

Happy Birthday.

Cheers to all of EB's family and friends. It was an honor to meet him, and my pleasure to be a part of what he started.

Happy Birthday, Ernie! I think we need an Annual Memorial Birthday Barbeque in the parking lot, in honor of Ern's B-Day!! Like old times- BP??

I'll be thinking of him, and raising that toast for sure...

Salute! To Pop's and Pop's Pop's!

I lost my dad back in Nov. '82. A fellow biker (for the CHP and Palm Springs Police; still a biker), I think about him when I go cruising.


Never out of my thoughts, actually. We'll have a toast to Ernie on Friday @ the Prince of Wales!

To Me everyday is Mr Ernie Balls Birthday, I think im his long lost son, lol.
Not a day goes by i don't think of him or how he has changed the Music Industry.

Me being a huge Country Music Player, as a kid i followed his steel guitar Playing, long before i imagined him Changing the Guitar & Bass World.

a true visionary and pioneer. thoughts are also with you BP and the rest of the clan as well, be sure to have a big hug and a cry today and know that you're continuing to do a damn fine job to make the original BP proud!

BP,

I'll be tipping glass of Kulmbacher pils in his honor this evening. Probably more than one.

You should start a policy wherein this date is "founder's day" at the company. Let everyone go home early, or cater a lunch, or something. Maybe everyone gets spanked by Ursula the buffing robot... well, that wouldn't do as a memorial. Let's stick to a more celebratory observation.

First toast at the Open House belongs to Ernie.
The second to BP and all those who carry on at EB.

Note: "carry on" meaning continue, not cry and whine.

 

[Father Gino]

I'll raise a toast to Big Poppa I. All I have right here is a bottle of water, but a toast none the less.

My father has been gone 4 years now, and I still run across things that I know he would have been interested in. Then I remember he's not there.

Life goes on. BP I should be happy his legacy lives on. Heck, another toast for BP II and even BP III in the wings.

 

[midopa]

I too raise my cup of water to the O.G. B.P. God bless!
