Re: To all the Newbies

Beste Julia, zoals ik een stukje eerder hier schreef, het is beter als je als niuwe lid een eigen topic opent om jezelf voor te stellen, da krijg je meer aandacht.

A big welcome to another Dutch poster, especially such a young one! Why not get your dad to sign up too if he's also a Joe fan?  wink

Ik maak anders nog wel even een nieuwe topic aan smile

thanks

Re: To all the Newbies

Hey Everyone,

I'm a newbie and hope I don't break any protocols heres.  Just found the forum.  I was sad that Joe was not coming to Atlanta GA but I'm catching him in Nashville TN and Jacksonville FL.  Is there a fan club in those cities?  Any pre show gatherings?
Thanks, Steve

Re: To all the Newbies

Heard Joe's name for years, saw him on Palladia and was instantly hooked.

Have since begun intense catch up process.  Can't wait for Wilkes-Barre and Reading, PA on 3/23/11.

May schedule some weekend trips around other shows.

I find Joe's work ethic and overall attitude very "old school", like my own.

I don't normally get that fired up over anything.  My wife and my shrink are always telling me to enjoy life a little bit.  Thanks Joe.

Re: To all the Newbies

XLK9, welcome to the forum.  Incase you didn't see it, here's the Wilkes-Barre meet-up thread... http://www.jbonamassa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=15416... hope you can join us pre-show and/or post-show!  smile

And let me take this opportunity to welcome all the other newcomers I've missed too!  smile

Re: To all the Newbies

Hello!  New forum member....old Bonamassa fan!  We are seeing Joe live for the first time since 1995 and the old Bloodline days.  Joe, you've come a long way since we bought that Tshirt from your momma!  Looking forward to a wonderful evening in Columbus!  Looking out the window at your bus now and am impatiently waiting......

Re: To all the Newbies

My buddy Harold sent me, my brother, my sister and brother-in-law four tickets to see and hear Joe tonight at the Barbara B. Mann in Fort Myers, FL. I just bought my first two Joe B. CDs today (Royal Albert and John Henry, they didn't have 'Black Rock'). I'm pretty excited about this concert. I had never heard of Joe before last month but now I seem to find him everywhere. I really liked the PBS presentation.

Maybe I'll have a review tomorrow.

Adios,

Roger  smile

Re: To all the Newbies

Hi All from sunny South Africa !!    My brother Steve (in UK) got me into Joe about a year ago and I have to say he's as good as it gets where blues and rock is concerned!   Here in Cape Town I've converted a fair number of locals and all we need now is for Joe to come play for us !  I know how hard working he is , but if he likes mountains , sea air , wine and gorgeous women (!) , then he must get down here !
               My name's Pete , getting on now , but still rockin' !!   
         
               Love the forum and it's great to meet so many JB fans - the man desetrves every accolade that he gets !!! smile

If the neighbors aren't complaining you're not playing it loud enough !

Re: To all the Newbies

Hi Rock Granddad, from your counterpart over here. It is nice to see Joe's fame spread over the continents. Joe's producer, Kevin Shirley, is from S.A. as well. Check out his site on Facebook if you like, "Caveman". He blogs info on the bands from time to time. Welcome and keep us up on the happenings from your neck of the woods.

Re: To all the Newbies

Hi Everyone! I'm new here but have been a fan of Joe since summer '05 when I saw him at the Mexicali Blues Cafe in Teaneck NJ. It was quite possibly the best concert of my life and that's saying a lot since I've seen Eric Clapton too!  big_smile
