Topic: Sonora last night

Looks like I for got to log out at 1:30 am. Heres a quickie.

Cool venue, the best I've seen Joe at yet. 300 People, SOLD OUT!

Crosby came out did a 40 min. set, closed it with 2 covers, Buckinghams " world turning" and "superstion" by Stevie Wonder. The dudes talented and funny. Very gracious and thanked Joe for signing him as his first artist on Joes label.

This old Opera hall in the Sierra Nevada foothills wil never have a better musician play there, Joe TORCHED! the place. He must dig these venues, he was on top of the crowd. When he shredded ( I like that word) the acoustic on "woke up dreaming" there was not a butt on their seats! I love to scan the crowd, they were FROZEN, hell what did you expect, he does that wherever he goes.

Handed out the last 25 cards I had after the show. I think Joe made some new fans out here, the bonavirgins looked like they just saw god! One guy said to me " I've never heard of the guy, man he's great!" I gave him the scoop, buy everything Joes put out, and come to the forum, simple recipe.

Went up to Joe after the show, started to say something, he says "shredit, right! I met you in Reno, I dont even know your real name". Now it was dark outside, and I had a hat pulled over my head, I was very surprised he even recognized me" Hey it feels good, what can I say. Told him JDAWG and I would see him in S.F. tommorrow.

P.S....dont ever drive this road at night ( hwy 49 ) almost put the shredmobile off the road, thank god I was sober!

Hey Shred buddy,

Great post of the show!! Take it easy tonight with J Dawg riding shotgun, OK? And make sure he doesn't get up on the table to dance. Tell him my family and everyone I know in Wisconsin have his back. We're all talking to the "Big Man" for the return of good health for him.

Roy

Will do Capt., he needs all his friends right now, I know I'm probably the only one on the forum who has hung out with him, and i can honestly tell you, he is as good a person as you will ever meet. In fact, on Sunday, his bay area friends have organized a huge party for him in Benicia. There are going to be alot of musicians, music, drinks you name it. Deb and I are going, and John told me this party is getting huge, the dude knows everybody it seems, a great event for a even better guy.

All prayers to our forum buddy.
