Topic: Oklahoma is O.K. !!!!

It is the wee hour of the morning and we all had a fan-tastic time at Cain's Ballroom.  The venue was awesome and Oklahoman's know how to get down!It was our great pleasure to meet Jim Moody and he was great on the microphone.  It was a very high energized crowd and everyone loved Joe,Bogie,Carmine & Rick. Crosby was a hit with the crowd,too.  The opening act was Dustin Pittsley OMG....:) smile  girls get your cameras out wink They all had their A++++++++ game on tonight.  They had some really cool echo effect going on in Sloe Gin when Joe was singing, I believe Jay gets the credit for that...it was c-o-o-l.   Bogie,dude, you were KILLER on your solo tonight!!!  Great smiles from you and for you!

Rhonda and I have had the great pleasure in being in the company of Shred and Deb (Mrs.Shred).  They are two very kind hearted people.  They are alot of fun to hang with and we hope to see them in the morning for some breakfast.  They are the caliber of people you would want for a friend.  Luv ya' both.

Misterlee, it was an extreme pleasure to meet you and your cousins.  I thouroughly enjoyed visiting with you and you are living proof of what great fans Joe has !!  You were awesome!

I talked with alot of people around me, who were seeing Joe for the first time.  They were blown away and totally mesmerized by our Joe.

Rhonda, my pal.......you are a real trooper and the best-est friend a person could want....she just rocks on the photos and is so sweet to share with so many people. 

Well, that just leaves one more guy to talk about and that is my hero, Joe.  Joe, you rocked the house tonight.  I didn't see anyone sitting still and I saw a lot of people groovin'.........I  had the time of my life and just when I think it can't get any better, it always does.  You are the best and I thank the lucky stars of heaven for you.......luv ya'

Okay it is late, I am rambling....time to sign off.....good night from Tulsa, OK

Patty,
Thanks for sharing. You're reviews always come across with such passion and "joie de vivre" or whatever that saying is. Glad you and Rhonda and the rest of the crowd had fun!

I think that should be "Joe de vivre" in Patty's case, Bill S.

Dude,
I think you should add that to the "bonaglossary" topic....great catch!
Although, if you wanted to be literal, Joie de Vivre = Joy of living or Joy of Life
Maybe it should be Joie de Joe?? (Joy of Joe)
or perhaps Joe pour Vivre (Joe for life)

Re: Oklahoma is O.K. !!!!

Patty,

We love to "hear" (okay, read) your comments in Joe's forum.  Diehard Joe fans like you are "A Number 1" in our book!  So, if you are from Iowa, you traveled to Tulsa, Ok to see Joe's show?  You go girl!

Every time Joe comes to Seattle, we see him (usually multiple times if he's playing multiple shows) because WE MUST GET A DOSE OF JOE!  His talent is phenomenal and now that he's got Carmine and Rick to join him and Bogie, they are UNSTOPPABLE!  See show review "Joe Brings the Hammer Down in Seattle" by Bad Kitty.

My motto is:  "Who haven't I told about Joe today?"

Glad to hear Tulsa was a good un. Of course, then again, very few Joe shows are anything but.

Re: Oklahoma is O.K. !!!!

Oops, almost forgot to mention, we met Monkey Island Maniac, too!!  Nice guy!!  Joe even mentioned afterward that he met the "monkey guy"   lol  Got some pictures to get on here, too.  Will probably take me a couple of days to get accomplished.  Forgot to mention that Joe told the story......He played Cain's Ballroom when he was 15 yrs old with Bloodline and if I remember right, he said there were 4 fights..........we almost had 1, but the security got them cooled down.......a lot of people had their Bona-baptism that night, heard several people say they had CD's  and or DVD's but never LIVE.  Oh and they had a drawing for an autographed guitar if you joined the Blues Society and if you were under 21 you just got to put your name in.....a lucky young gal named Ariel (sp?) won and I can vouch that she was one happy young lady...stunned might be a better descriptive word......I am still reliving the weekend...Mr & Mrs Shred almost had Rhonda & I on our way to Dallas for SRV show, but we had to come to our senses and return to our homes......still tired.....we were up till 4am after the concert looking at a few hundred pics of Joe & Co. that Rhonda took.  I was on the verge of collapse and told Rhonda I had to shut my eyes and then I would hear her say" Ooh look at this one " and of course that's all it took, glasses back on and looking some more......what the heck, ya' gotta' live for the joy...the "Joe de vivre"

Re: Oklahoma is O.K. !!!!

Hi Patty and Rhonda, it was our pleasure to hang out with you guys. Deb was floored to see that I was not alone in our appreciation for the greatest guitar player walking the planet. I really have been working her " you see, I'm not the only one who digs theses guys, and theres alot more too!!". Thanks for being so kind to Deb, she really loves you guys, told me to get the house finished so yall dont have to walk on concrete floors...lol.. And thanks to the band, very gracious once again, I dont take that for granted. It was great to meet "misterlee", I got your email, those were some kind words for Deb and I.

Cains Ballroom, now those peeps know how to rock, I know you wanted the boys to play all night, but they got to get some sleep too!...LOL... Love the 12 string on Ballpeen Hammer, beautiful sound, that was right after Just Got Paid I think? I think Bogie probably needed some oxygen after that solo, that was smokin, the longest solo Ive seen him do yet!! It was  cool of Joe to mention Jim Moody for putting this all together, we know he's such a good friend. The guy that opened up Dustin is very talented, I'll have to keep an eye open for him if he ever makes the west coast. Not much I can add, that everyone else has said. Oh by the way, this goes out to the dude who puts up the lettering of artist names on that board near the restrooms, it's NOT BANOMASSA!!, maybe a little proof reading next time, dont make me come looking for you...lol

Shred

P.S......I got a quick story for ya! Joe has some very cool and classy fans, having said that, thought I'd observe 3 of them and give a report on their behavior once a show starts. Lets start with Photogal (Rhonda), the ultimate pro when it comes to getting the right shots, constantly moving to make sure she's in position, always respectful, without distracting the band or the audience. Now "misterlee", a smiling bundle of energy before the show, then once it begins he has the most serious look on his face. Do you guys remember the look on Tom Cruizes face in "war of the worlds" when he sees the tripods for the first time, well there you go, of course I had to tease him after the show. Now I saved the best for last, Patty is hilarious, she picked the perfect user name. Picture Stevie Wonder on his bench playing his piano, Patty had an empty chair next to her, good thing too, someone might have got hurt.....lol... She has her head slightly back beaming from ear to ear and rocking back and forth, with the biggest smile in the audience....LOL!!!!!

Re: Oklahoma is O.K. !!!!

It was great hanging out with everyone before and after the show! It is always cool to meet up with forum members.

Was it me or did it appear that Joe played with an intensity like we have never seen before? I thought it was an absolutely fabulous show. And Bogie...that was an awesome drum solo, I know I always say that , but this one was way over the top! I actually forgot to take photos during part of your solo, I got caught up in watching you play! Rick, great solo, looking forward to hearing more of the keys. Carmine, thanks for chatting and all that you do ..... and when is Joe going to let you have a solo? smile

Shred, it was probably good that Patty and I did not go to the SRV show, I got home Sunday evening, my Explorer sat in the garage Sunday night, and when I went to start it up Monday morning to take care of some errands, it was absolutely dead! Not sure if it is the battery, starter thingy, or something else. I have no mechanical abilities! lol...on the other hand, had it done that Sunday morning, I would have had to leave it until Monday when a shop in Tulsa could have looked at it and Patty and I would have been "compelled" to go to Dallas because we would not have had anything else to do!  oh well! I have someone taking a look at it this evening. Hopefully it won't cost too much $. I wouldn't want to have to cut into my "Groupie travel funds"! lol smile  I will have photos from the show posted in a day or two.
