Not sure what to say?

I have fond memories of Voss,as he was my boss and the manager of my group, The Lady Birds. I'll never forget Voss, Evonne, Chris, Sissy, Eddie Belasco,and Pee Wee from Tipseys. Sorry I just learned of his passing.

I just saw this while researching for my book about dancing in North Beach. I worked at the Off Broadway in 1972 - 73 dancing in the show behind Carol Doda. Eddie Belasco was our choreographer.

If George De Martini (bartender when I worked there) or Dick Boyd sees this, please contact me at [email protected]. Rest in peace, Voss.

I worked for Voss a lot over the years at the Off Broadway and what a great man to work for. If you liked fair he was the best. He gave a lot and expected a lot. He helped me start my musical career which spanned twenty plus years. Thank you my friend and we,ll see you again. Gary
