John, Uncle Rich Kiley from the Natti calling from the hills of NH. Is it true HBomb has passed on?

[johnparkerfilms]

Yeah he passed on a year ago. He was inducted into the Cincinnati Entertainment Awards hall of fame on November 18, 2007.

God bless him and keep him! One hell of a blues man

I worked at Burbanks Bar-B-Q in the Forest Fair Mall in Cincinnati, Ohio and I had the pleasure of working many nights when H-Bomb played. LOVED all the different colored wigs he'd wear. Never knew how popular the guy was outside of Cincinnati until after his death. He was amazing.

Oh, I wish I knew about this before my mama passed away. She'd have loved to see this! I turned my family into H-Bomb followers. We'd walk into the club, the room, whatever & he'd work into the song somehow 'bout the dudes better look for some good lookin' women runnin' round. He hit on me, my mom, my sis, & my aunt in one night. We didn't know til we were riding home. Ages 18-60. He was a character & I adored him. (He loved his wife! He could just flirt good!) Miss you always H-Bomb!

I lived in Cincinnati from '98-'00, playing with my dad's group Jerry & the Hipswingers. We knew H-Bomb and the Medicine Men pretty well. Played the same places, got double booked at Red Fish downtown once, and some of the horn players played with him and us. H-Bomb was a weird old dude but I dug him. He never spoke to me directly but after I sat in once passed a message via his bassist that I was welcome anytime. To be acknowledged by 'the old guard' is an honor. H-Bomb was one of a kind!

Heard Ricky and Peter Frampton have been hob-nobbing. That's great if true. Get those two together with Ms. Winehouse on vocals and the blues would burn the house down in Cincy

[CrankedUpReallyHigh]

This man was a god. I count myself incredibly lucky to have lived in Cincinnati for several years, where I saw him play many times. Sorry I missed the premiere, but I absolutely must own the DVD!

[JosephNScott]

"who the fuck is this guy?!" Among other things, he's the guy who recorded the rock and roll song "Rock, H-Bomb, Rock" -- heard starting at about 2:10 here -- a couple years before Elvis Presley or Chuck Berry recorded anything.

Good luck with this film. I tuned H-Bomb's piano once while he sat on the couch watching "Matlock". It was one of the best times I ever had. By the time I left, he had given me a cd and we had talked about everything from pianos to Big Joe Duskin to fixing his coffee table. You had to be there.
