Thanks for the kind words Cathy. The Fan Website was something we started out of need at the time. Back then, Joe's Official Website was rarely updated - including the tour schedule. There were very few photographs available as well. We also needed a platform from which to establish some sort of grass-roots promotional effort on Joe's behalf, as the perception (at the time) was that little was being done to promote Joe and his music. We enjoyed some early success in getting Joe's next record (Blues Deluxe) distributed to numerous radio stations across the country. From there Management acknowledged our efforts and supported our existance as Joe's "Street Team."
The Fan Website has not been updated for some time. Nick, Joe's Webmaster here is doing such a good job keeping the Tour Schedule up to date that there is no longer a need for us to maintain one on the Fan Website as well. Additionally, the tremendous photo gallery on Joe's Official Website is now far superior to anything we've done on the Fan Website. With this, in combination with the passing of the Street Team torch to Melissa and Randy (and the upcoming Street Team website) the Fan Website will have completed it's temporary mission - and I suspect it will eventually be phased out.
