Georgie Bonds was a wonderful singer and an even fabulous guy. I got to meet him when he needed a bit of help fixing his car and Jazz Bridge helped him out. www.chestnuthilllocal.com/stories/gtow...?
G’town’s Sweet Georgie Bonds was ‘married to the blues’ - The Chestnut Hill Local
Bonds, who died Jan. 13 at age 72, was a member of the Philadelphia Black Cowboys. But as much as he loved horses, he loved playing the blues even more.
