Ditto to what the dude said. It WAS a perfect evening. I don't know how many people were there, but I know there was alot more than the last time. My friends Angela & Sarah had a wonderful time. Angela's "Bona baptism" and she now gets" it." I did see her jaw-drop watching Joe. She was thrilled with what she heard and saw. She's now a Joe-junkie. And as Sarah so sweetly put it, "You just can't help but love them all." Lee & Renee, I just love you guys. What "true blue" Joe die-hard fans you are. And I am way happy that you will be at The Redstone Room tonight, too!! I hope everyone gets a chance someday to meet them. They are really fine people.
Mr. Crosby Loggins.....take a bow! What a wonderful young man he is. We really enjoyed talking with him before and after the show. Awesome guitar and vocals!!! Am looking forward to seeing you again tonight. It was all definitely "thumbs-up"
Before show started a kind lady from The Surf came up with a bag of cottonballs and said"Now girls I think this is going to be quite loud. Would you like a cottonball or two?"
How quaint! (We declined.)
Joe looked & sounded fantastic!!! YES, he looked fantastic! (Just had to say that twice) Way to go Joe!! What a sound....WOW, what a powerhouse of sound! I didn't see any steam coming off of Joe, but I saw the vibration thing again. It's other-worldy. What a true gem of a person he is and his talent....there is NO comparing him with anyone else.....Joe stands in front, at the top, in a league, ALL HIS VERY OWN. What a kind-hearted gentle-man we get to love and be friends with. Joe's personality and look at life is unique....a very special gift. God did break the mold after he made Joe.
Mr. Bogie "Cap" Bowles...now here's a fun guy!! I get the biggest kick out of talking with him and love hearing him talk. He's that friend you just love to see!! And yes, awesome solo and drumming. The BEST! Bogie, if you read this, Bobby said to tell you "thanks" and he's been carrying that stick around looking at it all morning. tap-tap-tap
Carmine, works a lot of magic with that bass...... really enjoyed talking and listening.......he was talking about how they all gel together on and off stage.......the respect he has for others is immense....and a great sense of humor...it was a delight !! I wish I had a camera for the look on his face when he said, "I'll see you guys again sometime." and Lee,Renee,and I chimed in unison"Tomorrow night!"
Rick, now here is a kind gentle soul with a sparkle for life. There is more to this soul than meets the eye. There is an undescribable goodness and depth. Adds a wonderful dimension to the music....completeness.........
Aaron, what a hard-workin guy, always a pleasure to talk with and a great sense of humor. Someone you can count on. Dave, this guy never stops moving long enough to talk to....still would love to hear him play the guitar. Jay, I didn't meet but saw hustling & bustling around. Maybe can catch him for a little bit tonight. I hope the bus driver didn't get a belly-ache from eating the jelly rolls!!
Well, have gone on here for quite some time and still just can't say enough good things about the show and the people who make it all happen for us.
It seems to simple to say.....thanks for a WONDERFUL evening...........

P.S. You should have seen Joe pucker when he took a swig off the Sloe Gin bottle.
PRICELESS !!
