thanks for the shout out on the birthday thing.
I'd like to take a moment to talk about the 1-18-03 show at the Recher theater. That was my Bonabaptism, my first Joe show.
as i thought back the other day, after 11 years, I am still very overwhelmed. It was such an incredible show and it really was a life changing moment. I don't know exactly how to put it into words but i really have enjoyed life just that much more since then. it is not just because of the music and how much joy i got out of it or how i came to love talking about it and spreading the word, meeting folks thru here and at shows and having this place. Most of that came along the way but I was trying to come up with what that feeling actually was on that day. the thing that changed right then, never to be the same. i was just so darn happy because I had such a great time and thoroughly enjoyed myself but it was actually a joy of experiencing something so new in my life, an emotion that is not exactly defined. it was like experiencing a great joy i did not know was even possible. I mean I just never imagined having something like this i would love so much. I have been fortunate to experience some of life's greatest joys but this was just a thing i never knew existed at all so it wasn't even something I knew i wanted to seek out because i just never knew it could be that good like that. it would be like growing up on the north pole without much knowledge of other climates then going to a beach resort with 84 degrees and no humidity or something. i dunno, like knowing there is ice cream but not that you could put caramel, hot fudge, whipped cream and cherries on top. like having bread fresh baked out of the oven when your whole life you only ever had stake old sandwich bread or something. like that sort of.....!!!!!!
there is a terrific audio recording of the show. it was a spectacular set list also......I will share when i locate my good copy of it. someone had graciously uploaded the whole show onto youtube a couple years ago but it got taken down, poo.
also originally the live recording was mis-dated as being 04. Joe played the Recher a couple times in 04 but not 1-18 !!! a day that will live in my heart forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe was so nice also. i did not imagine getting to talk to an artists after a show so i was unprepared. I just kept repeating how great the show was, best ever for me, and he must have thanked me for coming out a hundred times. I wish i could go back to that day and re-do a few things but hey the memory is still completely awesome!

I wasn't there, but it think that 1/21 date in Sandwich was the show where Joe said his leg actually went through the stage while he was playing. It was definitely in Sandwich, il and I think that's the only show he ever played there.
